You may feel like no one cares about you right now, but I'm a total stranger, as are the rest of the people here responding, and WE CARE!! WE DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU GO! I'm shure there are people that YOU care about. Think of them. A simple note can never answer their questions as to how you got to this place in your life. Whatever you took, however close you are to the end, it's not too late.

If you are reading this, please, please, pick up the phone, and call someone. ANYONE! Friends, your mother, father ANYONE, just call them, and let them get help for you!

Death is never the answer, and no matter how bad it seems now, things will get better. I PROMISE, but you have to take the first step.

AT VERY LEAST, POST YOUR ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER! I WILL CALL YOU MYSELF IF I YOU WANT TO TALK!

My little brother tried to kill himself a few years ago, he took 2 packages of over the counter cough medicene with DXM and cut himself up pretty bad. He was 14 at the time, and now he's 17. He has an undiagnosed chemical depression, and it's been a tough few years, but with medication and therapy, he is doing ALOT better, he says there is nothing he regrets more than trying to do it.

THINK ABOUT THE REASONS TO LIVE!

What is your fondest memory?

PLEASE LET US KNOW YOU ARE OK!

POST YOUR PHONE # OR ADDRESS!!!!

I'LL CALL YOU, WE CAN TALK


:thumbsup: You are a good person.

you did it purposefully.

It is sad that I will probably be missed here more than in real life, which is to say not at all.

You'd best wake your parents and speak to them as I will be contacting Adelphia and giving them
a link to this thread and your IP info.

On the off chance that yur first post was serious, we cannot screw around here.

Yes, and HOPEFULLY he has changed his mind and hasn't actually taken anything. I still think the mods need to call 911, or send the cops round just to check he is OK and hasn't actually taken anything.

People don't post suicide notes unless they are contemplating it.

agreed, you can't be too carefull, even if he says everything is OK, it might just be to divert our efforts to keep him safe and with us.

Hopefully the guy was not serious, but that (contacting them) is the right thing to do in either case.

good deal either way...if he's screwing around, stuff like this shouldnt be posted in jest...and if he's serious, someone needs to do something

dude, I know it feels hopeless, and futile right now, but you have to understand that hurting yourself is not an easy way out. You may feel like no one cares about you right now, but I'm a total stranger, as are the rest of the people here responding, and WE CARE!! WE DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU GO! I'm shure there are people that YOU care about. Think of them. A simple note can never answer their questions as to how you got to this place in your life. Whatever you took, however close you are to the end, it's not too late.

Death is never the answer, and no matter how bad it seems now, things will get better. I PROMISE, but you have to take the first step.

My little brother tried to kill himself a few years ago, he took 2 packages of over the counter cough medicene with DXM and cut himself up pretty bad. He was 14 at the time, and now he's 17. He has an undiagnosed chemical depression, and it's been a tough few years, but with medication and therapy, he is doing ALOT better, he says there is nothing he regrets more than trying to do it.

THINK ABOUT THE REASONS TO LIVE!

What is your fondest memory?

PLEASE LET US KNOW YOU ARE OK!

POST YOUR PHONE # OR ADDRESS!!!!

I'LL CALL YOU, WE CAN TALK



----edit-----

apparently while I was typing this, OP, decided to come out as a joke, but if it's not, everything above still applies


I did for one, so did alot of other people, read the thread. I find it heartwarming that all of these total strangers were able to reach out to this guy. We may very well have saved a life tonite. Even if this was a false alarm, It still speaks for the community at AT, and honestly, it's better than any online community I have ever been a part of.

To VaeVictus, I hope that you are OK, and that if this wasn't some sick joke that you get the help you need. All of the things I said above still apply, even if you diddn't achtually take anything, and you were just feeling depressed. Please keep us updated to let us know that you are ok, Feel free to PM me, or contact me on AIM: Gurillavideo if you need to talk.

To the Anandtech Moderator: This is what you are here for, and why I for one am glad you are. Thank you for your assistance, and availablility. Here it is, almost 3:30am EST. And you were available to serve a member of the community you represent. I don't care what anybody says ill of the MODS, they truley do a priceless service for a thankless pitance. consider this official: THANK YOU!

 
I wish VaeVictus all the best, however I have something to say.

Whatever the outcome is here (and I hope it was just a bad joke/misunderstanding/poor taste) I hope everyone learns the lesson that THE INTERNET IS NOT THE PLACE TO LEAVE A SUICIDE NOTE! If you've already decided to off yourself and have taken some "irrevocable" means to die, there is no need to post about it on the web. If anything, cancel your credit cards, make peace with an enemy, or do something 'constructive'. Its likely no one on the web will ever know if you were serious or not, or they won't care, and your message will be forgotten pretty quickly with the speed things move at around here.

Everyone needs to know that a 'goodbye cruel world' note on any forum will be taken seriously, and if its a 'joke' or shens in any way then SHAME ON YOU. People will go out of their way to get your IP address, contact your ISP, dispatch police and paramedics, and inform your family. This is not something to be abused, because woe it be when someone is serious and people do nothing because they think its just another hoax.

Now if you're having suicidal thoughts and need to talk to someone because you want help LIVING, then OMGHI2U!!!! You are more than welcome to seek help for living on the Intarweb...it can be very helpful in those situations! But if you're dying already, don't bother posting. kthanx.
