My cousin tried to commit suicide...
 

I just got word from my mom that my cousin's in the hospital for ten days. He tried to commit suicide somehow, and I feel...scared, betrayed, I don't know. Nick is one of my favorite family members, and the closest thing I have to a brother, even if I don't see him much.

He never hinted at wanting to die. He seemed just like a regular joe when I was at his house during the holidays. Why did he feel the need to try something so...Ugh, I'm just so confused about it all!

No word on whether he's recovering from something or just being kept in a hospital to keep him from doing something to himself. I don't know how he's doing. I just hope to whoever that he's all right.

im sorry, suicides dont happen a lot about me, but when i got word one of my closest friends killed himself...
i got over it pretty quickly for some reason...
dont worry, he'll never actually be gone, what with reincarnation and all.

I don't know what to say Dipstikk. It would probably feel scary if your cousin tryed to commit suicide, why would he want to do that? Well I hope you cousin understands that life aint that horbble as he thinks it is, and it's not worth it killing yourself. We were all born for a reason, theres no point ending it just like that.

I hope you cousin is doing aright there, nothing bad to happen to him.

I bet he's feeling shitty that he failed.

I bet commiting suicide is like going on a Rollercoaster, and as your life slowly ebbs away, you become closer and closer to the first big dip.

Wow.

Wow, that's so terrible, Dipstikk! :( I'm so sorry that it happened. I have never really had to go through something like this with any of my family members, but a friend of our family tried to commit suicide as well and ended up in the hospital for a while. Luckily, he's doing better now and is walking around, and everything. I hope that your cousin is doing better, now. I couldn't ever imagine my cousin doing something like that to herself. We are like sisters and if anything ever happened to her, I would probably die. :(

Man that sucks, me and my cousin are close friends too. If he ever killed himself, well I have no idea how I would feel.

Sorry to hear about that Dipstikk, Hope you get over it soon. :(

Sorry to hear about that Dipstikk. I'm never had a anyone close to me try to commit suicide so I don't know how you feel. Try to talk to him, find out why he did it. Then maybe you can help him to work it out.

I'm sincerely sorry to hear that, Dipstikk. I hope he gets the help he needs. Let us know how he's doing when you find out.

That's really horrible, man. I don't know what I'd do. I just hope you and your family, most of all your cousin, hang in there.

I'm not going be all stereotyped here, and sound like I'm cutting and pasting from a generic sympathy bank. It's not that I don't care, I just believe that this doesn't help you one little bit, so I'm going to try to make something clear to you if it isn't clear already, and possibly give you some good advice;

You need to fuckin see him dude. ASAP. You need to find out why he tried to do this, if not to help him then to straighten things out in your own mind, and most importantly, you need to be the light at the end of the tunnel for him. Give him hope, and in turn there will be hope for you.

I'm aware that I might be sounding slightly robotic, but I'm not being totally nonemotional here; I feel for you dude, really. As you have Aspergers Syndrome I'm pretty sure that you can empathise with feeling emotion but not being able to express it properly. I find forums to be a stumbling block when it comes to expressing emotion, and I find that I always end up saying rediculously empty sounding predictable things like "aw I'm sorry to hear that man" and stuff.

So I hope I've helped and been of use by saying something a little different. It's in no way conventional but hey, unconventional works for me. :) I wish you luck dude, and hope that it all works out alright in the end.

Thank you guys. I have some good news.

Nick didn't try to kill himself. I misheard what mom told me. She said that he was afraid that he might try to kill himself, so he seeked help from his parents.

Sorry for the misconception, and thank you for the kind words. Mods, you may close this if you want.

I still think you need to go see him.

I think the percentage is larger of suicides by people who were perfectly normal than people who show signs of maybe wanting to commit suicide

' I misheard what mom told me. She said that he was afraid that he might try to kill himself'

Thank f*cking God you're not working for the Government.

I've been there before. *clichéd messages*

Hahaha. I would cause a worldwide panic over nothing.

"Oops, I thought he said he had twelve nukes. He really said he had read twelve books. Sorry, America. You can all stop running around in a mass panic."

Well it's good that he's getting help.

Well, he may've had a lot of stuff shielded from outer view. Things that you didn't know, or things that he didn't want anyone to know.

sorry to hear about that dipstikk maybe he had a terrible secret that he is fed up of keeping maybe when he is out of the hospital you can ask him why he did such a thing:fuzconf:
