And can you please explain what 'stupid idea' means. Maybe you're a non-native English speaker but really, suicide is simply these two things. WOW. He wasn't mentally ill. And depression is not a mental illness. I've known people who committed suicide. One did so on his 21st birthday because his girlfriend ditched him. Yes, suicide is really as banal as that. The 'stupid idea' is that they think their current misery is how it will be for the rest of their lives. The lack of perspective is in not understanding that circumstances change, personality changes, that life is plenty long enough for us to come to scorn all sorts of impulses and decisions of the past. It may take some time and some effort, or you may feel completely different the next sunny morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drronnie Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Not trying to blame anyone but sometimes people from the West have the notion that Thailand is a magically place where you all of your problems will go away and you will magically have a better social life etc. On the other hand there are people like me who had to learn that like anywhere else in the world people are people with the same struggles, discrimination and happy sides. etc. And when they realize that Thailand is not El Dorado they lose hope completely especially if they have burnt bridges at their home country. Me too I was expecting something differently but I learnt to deal with it.RIP and condolences to his family from me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKKIRE Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 If he came into the country just the day before then he was staying elsewhere and just came back to Bangkok to catch his flight home. Also he had a girlfriend in Thailand so it's likely he just couldn't handle the fact he had to go home. Poor guy, RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are terminally ill , no humans want to end their life. YOur body is supposed to live for 80 years and life is full of possibilities. It is a mental illness in my opinion. But if drugs and alcohol is involved that might turn normal people into suicide mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have a ticket but couldn't bare to go through with it The injures sustained to the brain, spine and internal organs would be significant When you mentioned the injury to the internal organs make me feel really sorry for him because if he had died then the suffering would have terminated, but he is alive and he suffers all the more, both mentally and physically. Buddha said, "This world is a world of suffering", I think this must be true. My turn has not come yet, I will suffer too, just a matter of time.

Wake Up Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I have known people who have killed themselves. Most were depressed without treatment. Not a financial thing or selfish thing or a girlfriend thing just depression. Don't know this man's reasons but every day people all over the planet kill themselves for different reasons. Depression is the leading cause of suicide and is not determined by age or nationality or wealth. RIP young man and peace to your family and friends.

I once witnessed on an obduction of a septuagenarian woman who in a state of dementia (coroner held her brain right under my face to show me the calcified main artery, his kind of humour, but I was sort of interested) had jumped from the first story of the hospital she had been staying in. Effectively died from concussion to one lung that had flooded with blood from an internal hemorrhage. He said, falling over 4 meters onto a hard surface you had to make at least a somewhat half-decent landing or it could be over. Just like that. On the other hand, a lot of people have survived higher falls with just their legs shattered, but 4 stories of an airport building with a much higher ceiling could translate to well over 10 meters, even 20.
