[Redacted], please don't kill yourself. I know it's not much, but we want you here, and as you can see there are others in the community who do as well. I'm sorry that things are this bad right now. I've sent you an email as well.

I hope you don't. I've been depressed in the past as well and had been contemplating killing myself. I became very depressed after my parents and sister died in a car accident.

Eventually my remaining brothers and sister convinced me to visit a shrink. And now I have a very positive outlook on life and overall am very happy.

I hope you consider the same. Or ask people to help you arrange a meeting with a shrink.

Kill your current life if you don't like it. Buy a ticket and go to a totally different country -- start anew there.

Health aside, there's no problem you can't just run away from and ignore in THIS world. Even the most seemingly pressing problems are BS we impose on ourselves, especially in the first world.

Dear [Redacted],

Don't, please don't - like Dang and others say here.

There are many dimensions to life to discover. You are in one now and it's not right. We are simply here to live and love. Nothing else matters more and is not real.

Walk away and see something new. I don't know you, but I do know how it feels to be in a dark void. You are judging yourself. Don't.

It passes - I promise. It is another adventure.

Speak to someone. In our country we have the Samaritans - I think most countries have a telephone line for those that feel they can't escape the whirlpool you are feeling.

Please don't. Give yourself a new chance.

I called [redacted] HR a few minutes after this was posted.

They just called me back and said they were able to get to him in time and he is getting help.

In that case we'll close this thread, since at this point a public discussion isn't in anyone's best interest.

We'll also redact the name of his employer from the two comments that mentioned it.

Dear [Redacted],

In your note, you say you aren't sure why. Please talk to someone instead. You are a very valuable person and the world needs more people like you, not less.

Please reconsider.

Please don't. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. Talk to someone. Talk to your friends. Talk to your family. Just talk.

I am not sure if you're being serious, but please reconsider.

FYI: Looks like he's in DevOps at [redacted]. I called their personnel dept. and they know what's going on and they said they're on it. I hope they get to him in time and can help.
