Suicide

http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1xxzs1/my_cousin_killed_himself_this_week_and_his_gamer/

A guy named "Salus" commit suicide, and his gamer friends sent him this.



The thread was full of positive, heartfelt comments left by people who've been touched by this Salus guy. There were also lots of comments about suicide, depression, mental illness awareness.

One of the OP's comments: The guy was amazing. Funny, kind, smart...He just started a new job with great pay...I guess his brain chemistry just got the better of him. It pisses me off that someone with a ton going for himself can just be completely betrayed by his own mind.

Another commenter said: I know this sounds weird, but as someone who has tried to kill themselves, and survived to see what it did to the people I care about, I'd like to apologize on his behalf. We really don't think people will miss us.

Powerful thread. It reminds me that behind every name, username and statistic is someone who lived a life.
