]]> Comment on The Best of Bessa by aufzuleiden http://dailydose.us/2010/07/23/the-best-of-bessa/#comment-4645 aufzuleiden Sat, 24 Jul 2010 15:43:21 +0000 http://dailydose.us/?p=3967#comment-4645 I am truly sorry at the loss of your friend; judging by your description he sounds like a truly wonderful guy and I'm sure many people will miss him now that he's gone. One of the great lessons that we often miss regarding mental illness, and suicide in particular (as the ultimate confluence of emergent symptoms gone totally awry) is the importance of telling people how important they are to us. When someone is battling depression it is very easy for them to begin to feel completely and utterly worthless - even though they may friends and family around them to counter these feelings, the disease countermands the logic assailing our affect. Unfortunately I lost a friend to suicide a few years ago, just before Christmas, and know just how large that hole can be when someone decides that a permanent solution is their only choice for dealing with temporary problems. Please accept my sympathies, and I hope you are able to remember many things to keep your friends memory alive - at the same time, I would encourage you to try and reflect upon what may have been the warning signs of what led up to this tragic act - an act that need not have taken place given the state of the treatment programs available for mental illness. We have to get the message out - loudly and without doubt - that suicide is NOT a solution to problems. There are always alternatives.
