For anyone who is angry and sees it as selfish, please know that sometimes good people fall so deep into profound despair that they are under the impression that they are helping others by removing a blemish on the world, helping Gd make the planet a better place. Yes, dead wrong, yes, a sin, but we don’t hold those with bipolar or schizophrenia responsible when they’ve broken with reality, and sometimes circumstances take a good person and twist his mind to thinking they are an unwanted blemish on this earth, and they will be doing their loved ones a favor. It’s not true but it can look that way.

That is how I felt when my family of origin was turned against me for a lie someone else perpetrated. A few other bad turns in life and this happy person with people depending on me was brought down so low I sought outside help to stay alive. That was only a year or two ago and I am so grateful I made it through. Life has been its own reward.

Gd bless his family and friends struggling to understand. It isn’t always a selfish act but an act in error due to a powerful misconception. Prayers for all who loved him, for all who are mourning.

I want to wake up and this be a dream. I’ve been going through my own devastating turmoil for the past few months and have lost touch with pretty much everyone. I regret that now. Life is too short. I miss my FRiends.

I’m not angry with him for wanting out. I can empathize. I’ve been that low. I’m angry at him for what he’s done to Donna and Gunner.

But thank you for the perspective.

I understand. After my sister died two years ago, I pretty much checked out of everything. I just tweeted because it takes no thought..goes fast and takes your mind off of things. A mindless diversion. I have missed everyone on FR. Life is too short! Hugs to you! We will get through this all together.

Don't be afraid to reach out to your Freeper family if you're in need, or you feel alone. We're always here for you.
