My message is aimed directly at you and your friends and not just a view on suicide in general.
Tell me you have not a scintilla of empathy or compassion without using those words.
I have no clue who you are, nor what you have done in the past to warrant your status as moral arbiter, but your recent posts make me instinctively aware that I wouldn’t want to spend time with you.
(I couldn’t give a fuck if you feel the same way)
So ironic, because if you did know him, you'd know Celtic is a more compassionate and empathetic man than most.
From my own personal experience, when my intrusive thoughts start to win , I struggle to tell anyone or speak about it. Suicidal people don't generally tell you about it , and definitely don't post about it on public forums.
Stu, I'm sure you felt dreadfully upset at being caught, and at the thought of people finding out, but you'll get through this . Opinions of strangers and vague acquaintances are not important. You've barred yourself from casinos so these people will soon forget you.
Your real friends will still be your real friends.
You've said you are sorry in your first reply. To say you're not looking for sympathy or trying to make excuses , but to then go on to talk about self harm and suicide, to me that's a contradiction in itself.
If you hadn't have been caught out, you wouldn't feel bad. So you care only about your public persona rather than the moral angle of what you did.
So if you'd consider leaving your child and family, who love you unconditionally , because a forum of relative strangers know you scammed your backers, that's so sad. Genuinely reconsider going back on the antidepressants, they're a long term drug and you may well have come off them too soon .
Wishing you only the best for your future.
