Prince Myshkin Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 It's weird when you think a friend might have killed themselves. Kind of worried. Just made a Facebook status saying 'Goodbye everyone x'. He's recently moved away to be with a girl at short notice. They were almost together for a long time but she was a bit messed up so they were always nearly getting together but then they didn't because she would say no at the last minute. Anyway, about two months ago they went out for a couple of days and then she broke up with him and he was suicidal. Then today he made the following status: “If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you wont give up. If you give up, you're not worthy. ... Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.” ― Bob Marley Now he's just made the goodbye one and we can't contact him. What should we do?

Captain Crieff Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 can you contact someone from his family or something? doesn't look good... I don't know what to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm talking to his closest friend about possibly of ringing his Mum or his work (his work is a hotel where he lives), though I don't have either numbers. He's the drummer in my band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 A call to 101 possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 What's the protocol with that? I've no experience with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 me neither, but it seems a good halfway house between ringing in an emergency and doing nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Myshkin Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Though he's not in my local area so that might not work. I wish I knew exactly where he worked or had a family members number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Myshkin Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 He just texted saying he was on his way home. Not sure if that's to the hotel or back home with his Mum or his Dad. Thank fuck for that. Thanks for the advice guys. Appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Myshkin Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hmmm It turns out the message (sent to his best friend, bassist in our band) was 'don't worry I'm going home, you should forget about me... I love you I'm sorry xx' Now I'm less relieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Myshkin Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 OK, so someone got through to him and he's taking it really badly and is drunk on a bench in the town where he works. Gonna drive up I think. Hour and half away and it'll be middle of night before I see him but wanna get him home. Phone cut off mid sentence so his phone may be out of battery or signal so friend is trying to ring him again and find out exactly where he is before we go.

Prince Myshkin Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 It's only just occured to me he never drinks, so him being drunk is not the norm. Not actually sure if he's ever been drunk before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Radio Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Just went through the thread. Your friend needs help, I would say that driving up to him is a good idea. Maybe bring his best friend with you? Because he can try to keep contact with him while you drive, and also he probably knows more about him than you do...

Captain Crieff Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Damn. I think that's the right choice Braddock I hope you find him and be able to get him home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Closest friend lives an hour in other direction so that wouldn't be possible. Me and another friend can go though. He wants to get back home and his plan is to drive back when he has sobered up. He's sitting on a bench waiting to sober up. Can't get through to him as it keeps going to answer machine - dodgy signal where he is. As it stands still don't even know where he is exactly. Other friend who has spoken to him says he sounds like he's coherent. Since he wants to get home I see this as a good sign that he's not going to do anything serious. Closest friend just text this second and she said that she got a laugh out of him and he said he'd get a grip and call back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
