Well my friend is going to shoot himself in the head today. I've known him my whole life and I feel somewhat responsible. Last week I purchased a .22cal rifle for him because he said he wanted it for hunting but I knew what he really wanted it for so I did it anyway knowing I would expect the same from him. He is in a dark place and nothing will change his mind about killing himself. He called me last night and told me not to come over to his apartment or send anybody or he will shoot them.. he said he's writing something and finishing some final things and then he goes on to say he is going to shoot himself in the head at a specific time which I won't disclose. He said if I call the cops more people than just him will die. He told me he loved me as a brother and that I was the only person he could truly trust in this world.. then he said farewell my friend I love you in life and in death...

Good bye.. I love you too I said through tears
But he had already hung up the phone..

I don't know what to do. I know I volunteeringly bought him a shotgun knowing his intentions but if I hadn't he would have just found a more gruesome and painful way of doing it such as hanging or cutting wrists so it was out of compassion for my friend that I did what I did and honestly I would do it again.

I tried for years to get him back to his old self but things have happened to the great man that none of your could ever begin to understand. His suffering was immense and it was torture for me to see him in such a dark depressed place.

Well I don't know I guess I'm looking for insight as my friends time on this earth is nearly at an end, and I will weep long and hard for him and at least tell some of his story so people know.

Good day to you by the way I'm 19yrs old.

Get Someone To His Apartment Now!! He Is Calling For Help In An Indirect Way!!

dodrugsplease · May 2, 2007, 10:59 AM

Ill go over there myself maybe

Hope I don't die
I WILL NOT GET POLICE INVOLVED PERIOD
I know a lot more about this person than any of you he is like a brother to me I know his thoughts and how his mind works and calling the police would be betrayal to him and myself... brotherhood is stronger than life and death I just want him to not hurt anymore

Letting someone die is the betrayal. Getting them help even if it means they will hate you and feel betrayed is being a true friend. In addition, if his family can prove that you gave him the gun knowing what he was going to do, then YOU could be in very big trouble.

Do yourself and your friend a favor and get him help!!

Well I guess I will go to jail then I don't care like I said this man has been through things that most people coudnt handle living with for even a day. I got him on the phone now so he is still alive but things are grim sounding, if he stays living he will be in hell everyday of his life , he can't escape it . I feel so bad for him truly..
By the way its not like his family will care.. he has no family.. they died when he was a child he lived with his abusive uncle for two years and then on the street for another 3 years... u know nothing of his expiriences and how he came about his ultimate conclusions.
That's the tip of the iceberg for my young attractive 24 yr old friends life.
It only get worse as it gets deeper

He said I can come over and talk with him for awhile I think I will see what happens..

Ill wait for a response or two before I take off

Why did you select the name "Do drugs please"?

Lowtax4eva · May 2, 2007, 11:14 AM

Call the police, they won't throw him in jail for trying to take his life, they'll take him somewhere he can get help with his issues, if you think you can get him to check himself in somewhere then go over there yourself. There really aren't a whole lot of options.

dodrugsplease · May 2, 2007, 11:15 AM

Because drugs get me through the day. What does that have to do with anything?

Emland · May 2, 2007, 11:17 AM

Why haven't you gone over to help and are still online?

U don't seem to understand stupid.

There is nowhere on the planet that can help him. Hes been through rehab mental health clinics therapists you name an institution and he's been there, and he has grown to hate these types of programs with a passion that burns in his soul.

I'm convinced he would rather die than return to one.

Well not much insight to be gained from this web site just the responses I should have expected.

Good bye you

NeedKarma · May 2, 2007, 11:18 AM

Emland,
Could be yet another troll.

rankrank55 · May 2, 2007, 11:21 AM

Please help your friend! Go to his apartment and help him! I would risk my life for one of my friends and I think anyone elso would! Bring him some drugs... do something! If he does not take his life then I advise that both of you need some help! LIVE DRUG FREE I promise that will make you higher than any kite!

I am not exactly sure what answers he was looking for. But, I think all the answers that were given were right on.

Hopefully nothing happened to this guy.

ScottGem · May 2, 2007, 11:31 AM

My first reaction to this was that we have a troll. Someone just looking to get a perverse charge out of pretending a situation like this. I believe that is still the most likely explanation, especially given the responses.

However, I replied initially the way I did in the chance that this was a true cry for help. But it doesn't appear to be. No matter how many cogent and caring arguments we make, the answer will be that we cannot know the hell this person is going through. That he has already tried everything.

I'll admit I don't know what he's going through. Or what you have gone through. But I do know that there has to be an answer other than drugs and/or suicide. I do know that a caring friend would not assist or allow a friend to commit suicide just because they are having trouble coping with life.

startover22 · May 2, 2007, 02:09 PM

Dodrugsplease, if you would tell me where he is in a private message you wouldn't be the one to have to do anything about it. I will, Give me the info and please do it right now. If you don't want to die then do you really think it is time to let your friend cut his life short?

Skell · May 2, 2007, 09:20 PM

So did he kill himself?

talaniman · May 2, 2007, 10:49 PM

Probably got some bad dope.

sassypea · May 3, 2007, 08:17 AM

Yeah, so is he dead?

brazygirl08 · May 3, 2007, 09:09 AM

If he was really your friend you would go over and stop him, call the police (unless this is a sick joke). If you let him kill himself then basically you have killed him. How old is he? You bought him a gun? Is it in your name? If so you could even be possibly convicted of the crime. GO TO SOMEONE, his parents? I mean do you really want him dead on your account? Can you live with killing someone?
