CASSINOVA NEEDS OUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!

[fr0me0]

hang in there man nothing is worht doing that over, nothing.

 

[SomecallmeTim]

I don't know you, Cass, but by the looks of this thread you have a lot of friends who are more than willing to help. Find strength in that and know that there is always a better option.

 

[Steph Dawe]

:hugs Cass:

We're here for you, man. My life sucks too, but I'm dealing with it. You're more than welcome to PM me, too, if you want.

I was going to say "hang in there", but decided against it.

Suicide is for lamers. You just want an escape from your own hurt, and causing many other peoples hurt in the process (TBer's, your family, etc.). But if you think it's worth it, what can we say man? Nothing can convince a man to come back from the brink, he has to convince himself.

 

[Blackbird]

my grandfather hanged himself last month. a lot of suicidal folks think they're relieving their friends/family of a burden, but trust me, that's not the case at all.

besides, you can't play bass when you're dead. you'd have to be nuts to give that up.

Man, that's awful. Sorry to hear that.

And Invisiman, as a person who actually fell off the brink and is now living to regret it, I can say that having concerned and supportive friends around at the right time can make a world of difference.

I know that it can man, but if he doesn't let us, what can we do? When you're that close, you gotta take the first step back, no one can do it for you.

Cassanova, I think I speak for everyone here, and many people not here when I say "Please don't kill yourself." Once you make it, it's an irreversable decision, and hypothetically speaking, you might want to reverse it later, but it won't be possible! ...

Hang in there man. There's got to be a root to the problems, and I don't expect you to divulge it, but look at it yourself and try to find a rational solution. Look at the replies in this thread. You have people who love and respect you. You're not alone. There are alwasy ways to make your life enjoyable if you feel that it is currently not. (that's an assumption)

 

[Chris J]

Does anyone have any updates on Cass' condition? Do we know if he's seen this thread? I think it would do him some good to see all the support he's being offered.

Make the right choice; don't hurt others while looking for the quick fix.

i woke up today
to find myself in the other place
with a trail of my footprints
from where i ran away

it seems everything i've heard
just might be true
and you know me
(well you think you do)

sometimes, i have everything-
yet i wish i felt something

do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have i become?
when i think i can overcome
it runs even deeper

in a dream i'm a different me
with a perfect you
we fit perfectly
for once in my life i feel complete-

and i still wanna ruin it
afraid to look
as clear as day
this plan has long been underway

i hear them call
i cannot stay
the voice inviting me away

do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have i become?
when i think i can overcome
it runs even deeper

everything that matters is gone (everything that matters is gone)
all the hands of hope have withdrawn (everything)
could you try to help me hang on?
it runs...

i'm straight
i won't crack
on my way
and i can't turn back

i'm okay
i'm on track
on my way
and i can't turn back

i stayed
on this track
gone to far
and i can't come back

i know how it is, i've been there before, been there alot lately with some major issues in my life but i had a good friend take his life last week. i dont know what the issue was, he never talked about it, but he only hurt everyone he knew by doing it. no matter what the problem, it's not worth it. my thoughta and attempts at it are over, i saw what it did to everyone, its not worth it, it's a selfish act. things can be worked out, i promise.

 

[Against Will]

You mean many things to many people cass.

Just because you see the light doesn't mean the tunnel doesn't end.

 

[canopener]

I don't know what to say, but hang in there, man!

 

[Hollow Man]

You'd be missed by way too many people for this to be worth it. Take care of yourself man.

 

[Michael Jewels]

I just got here.


Cass, you have a larger group of friends than you realize.

Ditto!

I said it in the other thread, and I'll say it here: Cass, you are cool.

Pm me if you need to talk.

Dancehall, I'm very sorry to hear about your grandfather; that is terrible beyond words.

Mike

I exchanged im's with Cass last night for about an hour. He is a good guy, but life is tossing a lot of curve balls at him and it's overwhelming him. I can relate pretty well - been there, done that, got the t-shirt, starred in the video, etc etc etc...

I made every argument I could from my perspective against the wrong choice here, I have no clue if it did any good. I know Jay was talking to him at the same time, essentially telling him the same thing.

Our conversation ended with the impression that he was going to seek professional advice (a psych teacher he respects). If he does, we all have good reason to be positive that he will be OK, the most important step is to seek help.

I don't know any more than that right now, I'm hopeful that he will carry through with what he said.

 

[Surgeon]

Thanks for the update Gard.

Cass,

Keep talkin'. We want to know how you're doing and if we can help!!

 

[Mr.QuakQuak]

Cass I don't know you well or at all but sometimes the best person to talk to can be a complete stranger.

fear defeats man , you can find me here on AIM.

 

[superbassman2000]

yeah, cass,
don't take a permanent solution to a temporary problem!
everything will work out in the end, you've gotta believe it.
we are all here for you if you need anything at all!

 

[Mon Rominee]

Dude, you cannot focus on the negative. No one ever got anywhere that way.

Take stock in the positives in your life, and focus / feed off of that. These problems will pass.

Please just don't take what you think is the easy way out, because it hardly is.
