Is it normal that even though I was so negatively effected by my best friends suicide, that I would think of doing it too just to be with him? Even though I am witnessing FIRST HAND the deep deep pain that it causes those left behind. Am I SICK or what?? Is this a normal thing to question or feel??? Please help.

I think you need grief counselling to get over this bad time.

I think it's normal. Scary, but normal. I agree that gried counselling can be incredibly helpful. You will feel better. You aren't "sick", you're in pain.

you are just sad, very sad...when you have these thoughts, you're rational thinking goes haywire, it's normal.....years before my brother hung himself I had committed suicide...i wasn't thinking about my family or friends, i was just thinking that I wish it would be over...i never thought about the outcome

but when my brother died and felt my heart ripped out of my chest and saw the overwhelming grief from my Mom, Dad, Grandma, brothers, and cousins...i was glad I was still here and even though at times that life may suck, times are hard, and everything just isn't going my way---it's temporary and it'll past

i know it's hard now, and you never get over it, but life goes on ....maybe talking with people here will help you,,,..

Unfortunately your feelings are normal. You are devastated, shocked, and in so much pain. I think also that grief counseling and talking to others to express your feelings will help. Your pain will lessen with time, but I know it is extremely difficult to see that right now. My heart aches for you and know that you have a lot of wonderful, caring friends to talk to! I hope you find a way to cope that works for you...Take care, ~Steph

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
