Yo guys, this isn't a thread to troll me for, I just thought I'd let you know I might not be around much for a while.
My girlfriend left me on Sunday, to sort out the problems in her life, including her Mum, who was seriously ill. We are best friends, but it hurts.
Next day, my girlfriend's mother committed suicide, so I'm also now grieving, while getting over any hurt and supporting the family.
And next week I'm away on a kayaking coaching course.
A week after this I'm in the north of France for 2 weeks.
I thought that blob of info warranted an update. I'll still be around, just maybe a bit quiet.
This is all authentic, ask martymidget if you really need to.
Cheers (:

My thoughts are with you. Stay in there, buddy. It can only get better from here. ;)
See ya when you come back. :)
-
I feel for you Craaig. See you whenever you're around. If you want any help from, me, just drop me a line.
-
That is very sad news to here Buddy
my thoughts are with you and all families related
if you ever feel you want to chat about anything feel free to do so with me on msn, I am happy to listen for you :)

Hey Craig
I`m feel very sorry for you buddy. If there`s anything I could help you with let me know. I think Joe will help you too. Take your time. We will wait for you to come back.
-
I will help to. Make sure you're alright before you come back.
-
Sorry, Craaig. I can empathize.
Please also tell your girlfriend 'Sorry.' for us at GTM.
-
Wow. That is pretty massive! Sorry to hear that. Take care of yourself man. Nobody is gonna troll you here because you are THE Craaig. We are all here for you if you need a place to vent or chill out. Be well.
-
Lets just hope Frezal doesnt start trolling.
-
I'm so sorry to hear about that, Craaig. Take your time to come back if you need to, and if there's anything you'd like to talk me about, I'm always here if you need me.
-
Jesus ****, even I can't troll this sh**.
G'luck mate. Don't get alcoholic.
-
Lets just hope Frezal doesnt start trolling.
No need to be a dick, Stagfish.
I hope getting away for a while gives you time straighten things out in your life and to get you in a good place mentally. A lot of bad sh** happens, but remember, the best has yet to come.
-
Definitely tell her that a bunch of people she never met on GTM feel sorry for her.

I have empathy for the gal. She doesn't need my pity, nor does she need anybody else's.
-
True. She has my empathy as well.
-
I know this doesen't mean much from an "Ow! You shot me you a-hole" Kind of guy, but I DO know what life is like without a mother. She left when I was a baby, but I still knew her good after that... Now we lost touch. I ABSOLUBTLY KNOW that it is nothing compared to knowing your mother all of your life, but I'm just trying to help. If there's ANYTHING you or your girlfreind need to talk/vent about, my Email is Krashdaykid@gmail.com. I'll listen. Just send her my best regards and I know it will get better, it can't get worse.
Cheers,
Jim Lane

Sorry to hear about that, dude.
Take all the time you need. :D

I really really hoped I wouldn't have to bring this thread back up again, but it feels necessary.
Again, I may not be around much, and this may mean a few delays to RIMP and RIP AI.
The first 2 problems from the original post are still issues, especially the one about me and her. Our relationship has been thrown around (a lot) and again, I'm in a lot of emotional pain. Throw in the fact that there's another girl coming into the equation and, well, sh** is ****ed up.
She, obviously, is still in worse having found her mum in a shed, and has recently tried doing some very silly things. I just hope she isn't going the way her mum did.
Also, my mum and dad have decided to spring it on me that they're breaking up. It's by no means a clean break, with my dad trying to kill himself a few days ago, and my mum threatening to. So that's 3 cases of attempted suicide/threats of it in just the last 3 days.
Evidently, this is very very detrimental to me, especially with a huge workload at the moment. Cider is my friend.
Sorry if I'm seeming all depressive here but, you know, things aren't great, and I apologize for any delays with anything while I get myself back on the rails. I don't want people to get all troll-y, I just thought it'd be better if I gave you reasons. Martymidget can confirm whatever I'm saying.
Cheers :L

Wow...that really sounds tough for you, having all that sh** happening around you. I haven't had to deal with threats of suicide personally, but if your parents do end up having a divorce, then obviously you're gonna be a bit shaken up for a few months or so, but it'll start to feel kinda normal over time. My parents split up seven years ago, and I've managed to keep myself going. I'm pretty sure you can do the same. =]
-
Well sh**. Sorry to hear that D:
Just remember. You are destined for greatness. Keep telling yourself that.
-
I`m sorry for you craig! I hope everything turns out good for you.
-
Do like I did, become a stoic !
And what hydro said.
-
Sarcasm I hope Nar.
I feel so sorry for you craig, you're obviously going through a horrible time.
I hope things pick up for you soon though, I really do.
-
Sarcasm I hope Nar.
Absolutely not... stoicism is a perfectly valable school of thought IMO.

Same. I think I actually became a stoic unintentionally. I just don't let stuff get to me as much. Had to force myself to cry at my mother's funeral, etc.
-
I think I might qualify as a stoic. I just really do not give a flying melon about most things.

Best figure of speech I have ever heard.
-
That's kinda how I compensate for it. By trying to find humour in anything and making little or no sense at all.

...are we the same person?

I surround myself with potentially deadly objects. And, somehow, headbutting a hammer is fun.
Which reminds me, I should start drawing up plans for that scrap metal fortress laden with Tesla coils that I want to build and live in someday.

I don't think so. I'm Scrap Daddy's brother, and you're Virus Bomb's brother.
-
Don't worry. Keep your head up and it'll sort itself out soon.
Also, my mum and dad have decided to spring it on me that they're breaking up.
My mom and dad broke up ~7 months ago. I know what it feels like. As long as you stay strong, everything'll be alright.
Take your time coming back here. Good luck, Craaig. ;)

I laughed out loud reading this. I'm so cold and uncaring and proud of it ahahahaha
Anyways, I hope you find a solution to this, Craaig. You are a helpful member of the community, and plus entirely random so I hope you stay.

My thoughts exactly.
Also, if all these suicides could be happening, tell someone! Trying to deal with a friend or family member thinking of suicide is the last thing you should do, just get someone who either knows more or knows more of what to do to help them. You can't go at it yourself, its not something that anyone should ever be put through on their own.

I helped talk someone out of suicide once. He somehow survived drinking a bottle and a half of Everclear.
