take this seriouslyI have a buddy back home who had gone off to college, hated it, dropped out and moved back to his home with his family. The last couple weeks we spoke on and off and I was kinda able to tell that he was acting different, but I had assumed that either college had changed him or myself.

I went out drinking last night and was pretty hammered when he called me. I dont remember much but i think i told him that I would have to call him later because i was too drunk.

This morning I awoke to a call from my mother saying that he had committed suicide. and i feel like shit. I kinda ignored the signs, and at points i'm sure was a huge jerk.

moral is please guys, if you have a buddy who's acting strange, please just ask him whats up. People need to lean on others sometime.

anyway, this just kinda felt good to write at least, and I'm sorry for bringing my pity party to you all.
 
Sorry to hear that man. Don't be hard on yourself, I'm sure he knew and understood you were drunk and couldn't have a proper conversation. You probably had no idea what was really going on at the time.
 
Solid point. I would like to add to this only one thing. Even when suicide isn't a factor, if you wanna say something to someone or tell them how you feel about them or how important they are to you.......Do that this and say that shit. No one is promised tomorrow and you might regret that you didn't tell them once they're gone.

It's not your fault man. People make their own decisions. Who is to say anything you said or did could have helped or not. Don't beat yourself up over it.
 
Im really; really sorry to hear that man, vibes. And don't put any blame on yourself. You were drunk so told him to call you back, nothing wrong with that.
 
not to make op feel any worse but actually I find loaded conversations to be some of the most fun and honest conversations. Assuming you're not too drunk to speak or form a solid thought process.
 
shit like this happens, a good friend of mine last year attempted suicide. She lived, and she's all good now happily. If someone's acting weird, honestly just ask.
 
+vibes but shouldn't let that weigh on you, its a shame but its not easy to make up in your mind that a friend needs help. Solid message though, make some calls ppl catch up with people.
 
Man this really hit hard..I have one friend in particular that has been pretty silent lately...I will be calling him up after I post this..Sorry about your friend..
