"Next Freeola Meetup @ Bridgend, Wales (21 Suicides)"

Sorry couldnt resist. =P But seriously, what the hell is going on? Why are 17 people hanging themselves in the same area? And why is the Daily Mail saying it's heavy metal and video games to blame?

Why are the police downplaying the deaths and saying they're unrelated and why are the parents keen to get rid of the media coverage? Are they worried it'll just encourage more kids to commit suicide? That's ridiculous, we all had a tough time growing up but none of us ever contemplated suicide. There's something weird going on in the South of Wales and I'm certain this mornings suicide won't be the last.

17th Suicide discovered this morning

What do the rest of you think?

I've lived on the Welsh border, i currently live near Heathrow. I'll pick London over Wales anytime.

I do believe keeping yourself constantly busy and learning new things helps massively. At least, it might replace those harsh thoughts it's easy to get caught up in.

Edit..

Then again, I suppose if you do become depressed it's awfully hard to even try to do those things.

I've never believed the world was crap, quite the opposite actually but that has absolutely no relevance to what goes on in my head. I'm a major clinical depressive with borderline personality disorder. I lash out for no reason, can be extremly uncaring, ruthless, easily angered or upset and most of my behaviour is extremely black and white (see the avatar), even if i can see greys. You could give me endless money, give me a house in paradise and it still wouldnt make a difference. It's my nature unfortunately.

You dont think you'd get fed up of all the things above? Even if they cost you your friends, family, girlfriend, job? It gets frustrating. A new thing for me recently is that i've become incredibly reclusive. I've only left the house 5 times this year and i'm in a rut.
I agree with you on evolving though. I'm generally always looking for something to keep my mind working and at the moment it's this Its very apt for this subject.

There's no worry on my front of an internet attributed death (and resulting freeola hate campaign), as my present frame off mind is pretty much summed up by bohemian rhapsody:

I don’t want to die,

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

Isn’t that normal? I mean by the age of seven I certainly had experienced enough of the world to know the majority of it was a load of crap. Granted you are a little bit older (and possibly a whole lot wiser), but five years ago I was in the same situation, so there’s every possibility I could still be when I am your age.

I understand considering your options, and relate to stopping every time you’re in an unsavoury frame of mind, but not the whole patience running out idea. I’ve honestly never seen or experienced that sort of limit, as human beings don’t just reach a stage where they stop working, we’re by design always changing and/or developing.

Hurhur i bet this thread has got Freeola worried ;)

"SUICIDE DISCUSSED ON INTERNET FORUM, BURN THE INTERNET!"

Have we got anyone from Bridgend here?

Well yeah a change would be preferable but it's something thats been with me in some form since i was 7. I'm 25 now and i've sort of got used to the idea that it's not something thats going away. Some days i can deal with that idea, some days i cant and at that time, it's natural to consider your options. I have no plans on killing myself, i've learnt to stop everything when i'm in that frame of mind because i can recognise it's not really me. Having said that though, i have to wonder at what point my patience will run out.

It doesn't matter whether I do or not, I'd still say what I think.

Let's not let this get into an argument.

So? Do you actually think I care about how you perceive me?
