"TRIG"

I just wanted everyone to know that Tommy "Trig" Simpson was laid to rest last week. Many of us have discussed this in private messages, but I also wanted to let everyone else know, as I know many people interacted with him here.

Tommy killed himself. I can't put it any simpler than that. For those of us that knew him, that is horrifying in of itself, knowing how much life he had in him.

What I would like people to understand, from what I know, is never, ever stop taking prescription anti-deppressents without discussing it with your physician.

Nobody will ever know what drove him to it, but it may have been a factor enough to just consider it. Know what your taking and understand how to ramp off of them.

I hope he Rests in Peace.

RIP, Trig.

We had some conversations about life and education.

I noticed he was gone for awhile and asked him about it. He said he was taking care of some personal stuff. I should have listened more carefully.

Brother, hope you found your peace.

Hasta.

Unhappy

RIP Trig. I hope you found peace. Prayers for family and friends. And prayers for anyone who is experiencing what you did to get you to that point and that someone is there to help you through.

Lord this is so sad.

Amen. A-fucking-men.
You don't always see this kind of shit coming
But
Reach out. To someone. Hell, find *me*. I'm just me, but if any of you dudes want to talk through some demons, I'm available. So are others.

Anti-depressants especially are a dangerous motherfucker. If you're trying to get off of them, don't do that shit alone. If you're fighting that, say the word, someone will be hopping a redeye riki tik. Even if you're cool now, but you know a fight is coming, reach out. It's not a sign of weakness, dont believe that bullshit. Even the hardest motherfucker has had someone watching his six at some point.

I can't pretend to know what demons one faces with or without anti-depressants, with or without legit PTSD, or what have you. But I'd surmise I speak for many when I say, it doesn't matter if it's day, night, or any hour in between, you call we pick up.

A true shame to make a permanent solution to a temporary problem-

if you are reading this and need to talk to someone, there are hundreds of people on this board who will listen without judgment...
