Popular Post liddelljohn Posted July 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2023 having had Severe mental health issues since I was a little kid I sympathise with anyone afflicted by whatever issue they have ,, The chances of successful treatments and cure is extremely low ,, in my experience especially under the British NHS and going to expensive private Shrinks, Therapists is a lottery ,, some are good but have no answers others are charletans or just doing it for a good salary . Some of the drugs help but are at best sticking plasters,, I am now 65 and the demons can well up and envelope me at any time with crushing negativity and suicidal or very self destructive behaviour ... I really thought as as a young man that one day I would be free of this monster lurking in my mind ,, alas at 65 its still there and Im finding it more difficult to deal with as I age , as my logic , hope and experience of life tells me Im not going to ever get better ,, its odd because im very solvent , educated and successful with great family and friends and choices that few people have and yet my life is dominated by the monster in my own mind that ruins everything , stops me being happy and content and the pit is always open to fall into ,,,,most of my friend are amazed im still alive and they were saying that when i was young ,, ,, Im always on the edge and now older my mental strength to fight it is lower ,, I ahve been in ICU 5 times in 50 years for Suicide attempts and survived , i could go over the edge again tonight, Tommorow ?? who knows ,, When those guys tried to steal my bike last week i did not give a <deleted> , just piled in could have been killed but maybe that would be doing me a favour ... when I worked in Offshore and military support and things went bad people would observe that I was always the first to jump in to fix or start emegency procedures and it seemed I was being proffessional and cool headed , hmm , not true I just thought what the hell I dont care about myself if i die so i should take the big risks to help other people ,,,, i get moaned at even whilt being praised Bosses, Family , friends , even the cops and fire service in UK for running into a burning building in UK to save out 2 complete strangers before they had arrived , I have always had this self destructive side I was first put in a mental institution in UK at aged 8 I really wish I could just get some real help and peace ,, but most of the time im hiding my true feelings and frustrations and anger just to try and fit in . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get out there and hug some Thai's, make them feel better! Make up for all those Thai bashers who don't understand how things work! Anyone who climbs on a temple is a fool! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you read more than the OP. From the actual link: At 10:30 P.M. he has been pronounced dead at the Vachira Phuket Hospital. The Phuket Tourist Assistance Center (TAC) reported he is a Russian, 35, and will proceed to contacting his next-of-kin and embassy. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On every suicide thread you always get a bunch of (the same?) smart rcess who feel the need to question why a person, who is clearly in a non-rational state of mind, isn't thinking logically. It's quite ironic, really.... posters unable to use logic, criticising other (dead!) people of the same. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why come to Thailand, take problem with him, climb on sacred temples and take a jump? He could at least considered using a regular balcony and show some respect to the locals. He was Russian, likely being drafted, going to Ukraine and facing US cluster munitions at the front. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandboxer Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) The Thais probably think his ghost will haunt the temple for all eternity and bring bad luck. I had my immediate falang neighbor (condo) off himself a year before the scamdemic and the place stayed empty until the day I moved out a few months ago, unrented and unsold. This is in an very popular, almost always 100% occupancy luxury condo. Owner has been trying to sell for about 60-65% of the going market price ever since. If it was a foreign freehold unit I would jump on it. Edited July 9, 2023 by Sandboxer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Saw the video on the news last night. He was fighting off his would be rescuers and definitely jumped, whether he was trying to miss or land on the airbag is unclear. He made contact with the side of the airbag and died from his injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He was threatening to jump from a pagoda for several hours and finally jumped after trying to fight rescuers atop the temple." Although according to other comments it appears that there is more information in the linked article which could be used to make the argument that it wasn't suicide.
