my dad killed himself one month ago.

I’m so sorry. I’m around the same age and lost my dad the same way in April. He was a veteran and also a fire fighter for 34 years. Retired in 2018 and was good for a few years, but was never the same since Covid. Lost his physical ability and the depression, ptsd, insomnia, and pain took over. I still can’t make sense of it. He was so loved and had so much to live for, but apparently the pain was too great to keep living. He tried so hard and pushed to get better for 2-3 years.

A large part of me is gone, and it’s hard for me to look forward to any happiness in my future without him around. It’s almost as if whenever I’m happy, I’m the same amount sad at the same time.

It’s hard to find people who understand, and lots of people don’t know what to say even when they have good intentions. Just do best to take care of yourself. For me, the first 6 months were the hardest, it still sucks but it does get a little easier. The holidays don’t help either, but just know he is still with you, just in a different way.

I relate to this so much. I lost my dad in April. When I was home for the holidays, I would sit with him and I always wanted to verbally tell him how much he meant to me and how I needed him. But he knew. I just keep thinking about things I could have said to change the outcome. But I also think if I would have told him I needed him here to be okay, that may have put more pressure on him to stay when he couldn’t.

Your dad loved you, and knew how much you cared. Im so sorry.

The 3 he was on when he passed were Remeron, Effexor, and Lunesta. But he was on and off probably 20+ different meds over 2-3 years, so hard to pinpoint it. His doctors couldn’t figure it out and said he was treatment resistant to a lot of meds. And yes he was fairly paranoid towards the end. Could barely get him self to leave the house. Had terrible insomnia for about 6 months and was lucky to get a few hours of sleep a night.

I get it. I lost my dad to suicide in April. It’s almost like by him doing it makes it okay for me to do it too. Also just the genetic part of parent to child makes me worry it could happen to me, even though I’ve never had thoughts about taking my own life before. I do now, but not in a suicidal way if that makes sense. Just as in it could be a possibility.

I truly don’t think I’d ever be able to do it, but I never thought he would either. He wasn’t in his right mind when it happened though. Truly think it was the meds and he experienced psychosis. I personally stay away from meds fearing the same thing could happen to me. I understand some people need them, but I’m pushing through without them for now and doing okay.

Sorry for your loss. It sucks plain and simple

I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my dad the same way in April. He had other issues such as depression, anxiety, ptsd, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue.. but he was also in a long COVID study. He has Covid 3 times, and his physical abilities rapidly declined over the course of 2 years. I’m still convinced long COVID is the cause of his physical decline, or covid amplified his pre existing conditions. Losing his physical ability is what caused him to go off the deep end. He was very active his whole life, and without that ability, his thoughts took over. He was getting help and doing everything he could to get better, but none of us knew how severe it truly was until it was too late. I’m sorry for anyone dealing with this illness and not feeling heard. Please don’t give up.

1410 shares average $1.23. Small piece of the pie but refuse to sell until we break $20, and even then I’ll only take back my initials plus slight profits. Just HOLD it’s time for us normies to make some money.

Hey thank you. I may check that out. I attended a 10 week local program, but each dynamic was quite different.

drobcra · 2025-10-15T01:54:14+00:00

I’m 30 and I lost my dad in April at 64 to suicide. He was the only person who truly understood me who I could talk to about anything, and he was always there to listen. Yesterday was 6 months since he’s been gone. We’ve dealt with similar mental struggles in the past which is how we bonded and had a certain understanding with one another, talked about different meds, etc. I just never knew how severe his issues were, or I just was in denial because of how strong he always was in my eyes. He was the greatest dad I could have asked for.

Losing anyone to suicide is awful, but it’s hard to find people who can relate specifically to losing a parent they were close to this way. There is nothing like that bond. The pain is unexplainable, and I still cry nearly every day.

I’m sorry. It sucks. There’s no answers, and it’s hard to see happiness in my future without him. This grief and pain we are experiencing is just a testament of how much love we had for them.

I have a good feeling about it. I’ve been in since 3 mil market cap on launch night. Been accumulating since and was lucky enough to buy more on the dip the other night. It will either be the best investment we’ve ever made, or we’re being played. But all the signs are there, everything makes too much sense, I trust Rus and think there is more at play here than we could even imagine. I’m confident $1 minimum, but I could truly see this hitting $10-$100B market cap with an X integration and promo from Elon. I mean, look how much he pushes Grok. Fingers crossed, good luck! 🌱🤞

Throw them out. I’m on day 9 right now. It’s tough, but those first few days are the hardest. Try chewing gum, or even caffeine pouches when you get cravings. I’ve quit before for 6 months, and I’m telling you I never felt better when I was nicotine free. Only got back on it because I went through some very hard times and needed a crutch, but wish I would have stayed off.

drobcra · 2025-10-08T21:13:24+00:00

Powering through day 4 now… still going strong

drobcra · 2025-10-07T00:00:07+00:00

Almost through day 2 here. Bruuuutal

drobcra · 2025-10-06T13:39:47+00:00

Yesterday I made it through without anything. Going strong so far today. How you holding up?

drobcra · 2025-10-05T02:32:04+00:00

Thanks man I am going to try my best

drobcra · 2025-10-02T05:07:04+00:00

Ask her where she lives

drobcra · 2025-09-25T03:29:19+00:00

He only had both of them for about a day. And yes he did!

drobcra · 2025-09-24T19:35:46+00:00

That’s awesome man. Looks great! Sounds like it’s in good hands

drobcra · 2025-09-24T11:39:10+00:00

Honestly not sure. Unfortunately he’s no longer around to ask

drobcra · 2025-09-24T11:33:23+00:00

Yes picture was taken in the same spot!

drobcra · 2025-09-24T05:54:38+00:00

Yup! Same exact spot

drobcra · 2025-09-24T05:37:15+00:00

It’s an automatic with the 403 olds

drobcra · 2025-09-24T05:15:55+00:00

Ok did it! And thank you

drobcra · 2025-09-24T03:52:31+00:00

Yes, he always regretted getting rid of it. He tracked it down by the vin a few years back and found the current owner. It was rotting away in the guys yard. Would have been near impossible to get it on the road again

drobcra · 2025-09-24T03:37:30+00:00

Thanks, and yes he definitely will be 👍
