Two days ago I learned that two fo my friends killed themselves three months ago. I felt as if they'd basically disappeared of the face of the earth; no one told me what happened, because everyone was afraid I'd be hurt. I guess no one realized that not KNOWING what happened to them for three months was bad enough.
Just a couple of minutes ago, I found out that another friend of mine just killed himself today.
Life officially and completely sucks.
Do you ever feel this way? Like things couldn't get any worse, then they do?

hmmmm....tell me about it...I don't know exactly how it feels, but it is a very bad situation. Life sucks really! And things are getting worse day by day.

Because: I ditched my all my popular friends. I stay up to 5 am every morning and sleep till 4 in the afternoon so I don't do anything during the days. I spend my life on Y!A But even though it all sucks, I'm strangely happier than I've been in a while :)

Yeah, totally. And it's normal for you to be really upset right now. I can't believe having to miss the funerals of your two friends because you didn't hear about it. It seems not fair.
Coming from someone who has attempted suicide, I took it especially hard when my friend killed himself a couple weeks ago. It's best to not be angry--at your friends, at the people who didn't tell you, and yes, at life. You can be sad, but remember it's human nature and that there is a process of grieving one must go through. Anger is destructive and worthless, sadness helps you grow and learn and understand. Take that road instead, and while life isn't always fun, it's somewhat cyclical. When something awful happens, we must remember that some good somewhere will eventually (or has) come.
Keep on keepin' on, and make sure those you love are around you to give you the love you need right now. Stay strong.

No! Life doesn't suck. What sucks is how SOME folks respond to a little bit of adversity in their life. Life is all about the good things AND the bad things that happen to us throughout the course of our lives. I can't fathom more than a handful of reasons why a person would actually prefer death over living through a hard point in their lives. There is ALWAYS the chance that the situation will improve but, dead, it's guaranteed that there will never be an improvment over that. In the meantime, you're killing yourself has done nothing but inflict a miserable time upon ALL those who cared for your throughout your life.. Suicide is the single most selfish thing you can do to everyone else in your life, and I have ZERO respect for a person who would do something so selfish as to inflict THAT kind of hurt onto ANYONE else. As for YOU, perfection, I offer my condolences to you for finding out that some of your friends were THAT selfish as to lay those sort of thoughts and feelings onto you without even so much as bothering to ask if you would mind or not.
Brightest Blessings,

There are many "sayings" referring to just what you are experiencing.. I would like to suggest a (thin) as in short.... collections of what one man, named Kahlil Gibran wrote. The one I reference is "The Prophet", to which he refers to many aspects of life. I don't work for, nor am I being compensated in any way,for telling you a used book store,Walden Books, or Amazon.com-- BOOKS- type the name Gibran,Kahlil.. item # 539594, and find a used copy for as little .90 cents, and read it. It has always been a source of clarity and positive "vibes" for me.
I am not an intellectual, by far.. just an old hippie that likes motorcycles. I promise you will like it, and the way you will feel afterwords.. If I got it, anyone can, and you will...it's easy.
Oh... to address your question...in my humble opinion, life has many 'unpleasureable' lessons to be learned, as well as extremely 'pleasurable' ones. Both should be taken with acceptance, and a foundation of understanding, you may either experience a "GREAT RIDE" on the worlds fastest Roller Coaster, and have excited anticipation,or, (this is a little brutal, as is your subject matter)..the rollercoaster ride just after yours... came off the tracks,at top speed of 90 MPH, causing great sorrow to everyone. Does Life suck? YES! Is your life blessed for only this one day? only? No one wants to pay the price of a Crystal Ball,because no one is sure they really exist.... for SOME reason you did not die that day. Are you thankful? YES! Is life good? That...is up to you. Both "it sux" and "it's great" are coming to a theatre not just "NEAR "you, but "IN" you..When the lesson is over...leave. Lock the door behind you and make sure to keep the key available,put it on a key ring with the others that have mysteriously come into your possesion... for you may need it to go back there sometime....If not for you, to help someone else.

I feel your pain. In consecutive years, I had two children both born with Stickler's Syndrome. The year after, my mother in law was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Then my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor. then my nephew died at 7 days of age. Later that week my husband left me. It has not been an easy road for me.
But, thankfully, I am able to keep a positive outlook on things. People ask how it is that I can keep going, how I can cope. My answer is always the same: "I have two options. I can jump off a bridge, or I can smile and keep going. Jumping isn't really an option, so we're down to one. And that's what I do." Not always as easy to do as it is to say, but I try to keep my broken moments to a minimum, and with people who truly care and can give needed support.
My thoughts are with you, and the other friends and family members of those who are gone. Please reach out and accept help from those who care about you. And if you don't think there is anyone to reach out to, let me be that person.
May All That Is Bless You!

Very sorry for your loss. When I was a teenager, people were committing suicide left and right. It breaks my heart because I just wish I could tell these teens, "Just hang in there. Life really DOES get better after high school." During the four years that I was in high school, twelve students committed suicide. And it hurt like hell every time it happened. I'm so sorry, my friend.

My heart really goes out to you, especially since you did not have the option to go to the first two funerals! You do have a point about people not telling you stuff. I rather feel the pain of knowing something like that, and work towards dealing with it, and going to the funerals, than it be kept from me.
((((HUGS)))))
I'm here if you want to talk! My heart truly does weep for you!

Yes, I've felt like that. Although things *seem* hopeless, things are often not what they seem to be at all. I'm genuinely sorry for your loss and to be honest, a little concerned for you. To have that much loss at once is hard. Please take care of your own mental health needs at this time. Find a person to talk to. Depression is a serious thing. If you think you might be depressed or are thinking hopeless thoughts - talk to someone you trust.

Awww, I am sorry about your losses!

I really don't like suicide. A few people around me have attempted it, only one succeeded. It hurts like hell. I felt bad, then angry, then worse for being angry at that person.
Life will get better.
Just hold on!
