I had a brother that committed suicide 7 years ago and his story was similar to yours.

A history of extreme emotional swings and hospitalization for attempting suicide.

I was the best man at his wedding. Once he got married and had three sons I thought that was the end of that part of his life.

In my mind, no one with three little boys could ever kill themselves.

I was wrong. As soon as his marriage started to fall apart, he did it.

If anyone reading this knows someone that suffers from depression, never underestimate the power of depression.
