Admittedly I know very little about suicide/depression. It really surprises me how many people in this thread have been close with someone who has committed suicide. Personally I've never had a friend kill himself, I've herd stories of friend of a friend. I often wonder how one can be around a depressed person by choice. Obviously if it's a friend or family member you want to support them but on the other had scientific studies have concluded that you will on some level internalize the behavior of the people you surround yourself with.

I'm just kind of thinking out loud here, not really to the point of the thread. flameswin I'm sorry to hear about your friend and even more sorry for the position you are currently in. The advice given by Cowperson and echo my own sentiments.
