This guy has been logged off for a while. He's not going to see what you post unless he didn't go through with it. Your best bet is to send him a PM. He might get the e-mail notification.
jmusmc85 saidThanks for doing that. I wouldn't even know where to begin looking for that information...
We do whatever we can do, man. His screenname looked like a real name. The number looked like a birthdate. He had his city on his profile. One looked like a match.
TropicalMark saidGoogle is a GREAT friend!
ya, I do luvs google.
You should be a detective!!!
Thanx. I actually did work as a reporter in a past life. Hopefully it just paid off. Certainly it didn't pay much while I was doing it. (Kidding. I actually enjoyed publishing when I was into it.)
creature saidtheantijock, when are you going to call the police for an update?
Yikes. When did this become my job? I hope he does well. I hope they find him. I hope he has not damaged himself. And I've done what I can in that regard. But I've literally buried so many loved ones recently and been figuratively buried by so many I thought loved me that, well, frankly, just now, and for a little while yet, I don't think I want to know if he hurt himself. I'll be able to handle that shit again one day. But for now, when people hurt each other online, I hit ignore. Sad comes on the TV & I hit the remote. Sorry, I don't do sad.
I think I would rather just hope that they found him. They he's okay. That they get him some help. That he finds some happy in life. Peace.
creature saidHis profile is now hidden/deleted (by admin?)
I would also presume by admin as I checked his profile a little bit ago and looked like he was offline.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that it was your job. I thought you would be curious. But after what you said, I can understand why you're hesitant.
JR_RJ saidHow the fuck do you report this kind of shit to the authorities??????
Find his IP #, look up the ISP, and notify them.
There was another one, seemed like a real nice guy, a few weeks or months ago talking about suicide. That guy in Australia. I think you were on that thread too.
Seems there could be some sort of forum policy whereby the admin, when notified by thread participants, takes action to try and get the guys some help.

Thanx. Not a problem. Normally I would be the type to follow thru. But I'm just still getting my act together. Give me another year. I'm a slow but sure healer.

That would be nice; but unless someone knows the OP personally (in real life, with contact info, etc) it would be difficult to trace a person down and get help soon enough if they're on a public network somewhere (like on a smartphone, at a wifi spot, etc).
I called the San Diego Police's Non-Emergency #. Nothing was pulled for the 1st address listed. But for the 2nd one, she said an officer was dispatched to that address and the person checked out okay.

Yes, but at least it narrows it down and could home right in. Probably if it is a suicide attempt then it is at home. Well, except for sustenance who seems to have a penchant for telephone poles (good you survived that, by the way).
So, you have been at death's door and survived? I respect you already. The rest of this stuff you said here in your post is irrelevant to me actually because I've been at death's door and survived, lol. All else becomes background noise to such people as us, well it should for you too now that you know what's actually important. hahaha
SkinnyBitch saidJust because a topic is negative, it isn't spam.
Just because a person wants to end their life, doesn't mean they deserve having the police sicked on them.
Since we have no info about his life and whether this is a whim or a long-held desire that he's decided on with a calm mind, all I can say without being full of platitudes is "I hope you made this decision with a clear head if you are successful, and if you made the decision based on a bad night, I hope you fail."
I would rather take action, then use the by-stander approach... sorry just me.
Having the police come and take you to a hospital is the absolute worst thing to experience when you're in such a horrible state of depression. Police are seriously ignorant when it comes to mental health issues, and being in the psychiatric ward in the hospital is one of the worst experiences I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. I was only in the youth ward too, which is far less distressing than the adult ward. I am sure the police are worse in the U.S. as well.
Skinnybitch and I have first-hand experience with suicidal thoughts caused by depression. I can honestly tell you they are more heart-wrenching than any other feeling I have ever had, mental or physical, and I don't believe that anyone can truly know what it feels like unless they have experienced it themselves.
I know you want to save somebody's life, but it is not your decision whether they choose to take it or not.

Also, Shell, save your hoodrat sass.
Whoa, definitely not cool man. But I guess because I'm black, I'm a hood rat right? Ignorant and stupid comment. I only responded because I myself have recently been at that point of committing suicide but was helped by a now close friend who didn't even know I was at that point. But if my stepping in is sass .. then kill me now then.
My on argument and i am going to leave it at this, is the fact that he wouldn't take it that far to post something like that on a public forum if he did not want attention.
People usually commit suicide partially because no one gives a shit, and this is the time where people should give a shit, and STILL, no one does. So wtf?
I am not saying go as far as the authorities, but sadly it looks like he might have done. But, I will not choose to ignore any signs personally.
