I just don't understand...

We just heard that a guy we went to HS with commited suicide. He was a really famous model (well, highly well-known in the modeling world) and at just 24, had so much ahead of him. I remember walking into American Eagle during college and seeing a HUGE banner of him in underwear and on every package. He recently did D&G, Hugo Boss, YSL, Dior Homme, Louis Vuitton, and had much more to come.

It's so sad and at the same time, frustrating. I feel badly he thought this was the only way out but for someone who it seemed like had everything, apparently that wasn't the case. I've had to many people that are friends of friends, family commit suicide lately. Something more (information, advocacy) needs to be done.

Re: I just don't understand...

  • Oh wow....   The "I don't understand" piece fits me as well, but maybe it's something someone doesn't understand unless they're in that situation?  I don't know...

    I'm so sorry.

  • I don't understand either. I guess no one ever really knows what someone else is going through.

  • I often used to think the same way. Suicide can seem selfish and it may seem like he person has everything. In one of my counseling classes for my masters we would talk about suicide. It really opened my eyes as to how hopeless people can feel. They may not know how to even ask for help. I do agree more education needs to be done. I think the problem is that people think if you talk about it more people will do it which my professors said is not the case.

  • I have never been able to understand it either.  It's just so sad that people feel that helpless and desperate for relief from their pain.  I agree that talking about it =/= more people doing it.  There should be more education and prevention done.
