Hi those of you reading.
A few weeks ago a colleague who for the past two years I worked alongside and easily spent more time with than any of my own mates decided to commit suicide. He has left behind a simply devastated group of family and friends, including his newly born son. For me it is only recently sunk in what has occurred and although I am not torn up about it as such I know it has affected me in ways which have lead me into a state where I wouldn't say I'm sound of mind at the moment so bear with me.
Please remember that if you're having trouble dealing with something it is absolutely not a sign of weakness to talk to a mate, a friend, a father, a mother, a son, a daughter or even a random person about it. Heck post it up on the forum and see what others around Australia and the world have to say about it.
We ALL need help. No one is born with the instructions to handle what can happen in our lives and you cannot learn everything there is to know by yourself.
We simply must seek assistance when we come across a situation which we are not equipped to handle.
Do not ever forget about those around you - they might joke about it but at the end of the day they stand by you because they're attracted to whatever it is about you that makes you unique.
thats all.
