Holy cow! What is happening out there?? This stuff is so sad... Unfortunate things feel so bleak they feel there is no way out above ground.

The Big question is; "Why❓".
But for now ... Condolences to the Family & Friends.

It’s TRAGIC!! Heard today they found a business owner in Nisku, hanging from the rafters. I won’t say who, but knew him well. I can’t quit thinking about his wife and kids!

Tragic, indeed! And unlike your acquaintance and the other over five hundred desperate albertans, every year, that decide to leave this world on their terms, this fella sure tried to make a statement. I hope he/she/it wasn’t a registered nurse. That’ll keep everybody busy spinning things for a while.

So very sad!
Men if you’re having issues TALK to someone if you’re having issues. Iv been down that road thankfully someone noticed and gave me an avenue to talk to someone. It was one of the most difficult things I ever did. I’m grateful everyday for that chance to talk.
SEEKING HELP IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS.

Agreed 100%
I am currently having a hard time accepting my recent health issues and going through some post surgery darkness. My life has been spared by the surgery yet I am having a hard time being happy about it. I can't explain it or fix it on my own. Going to the councillor/shrink today at 9am. Very hard phone call to make but I know I will be grateful to have the opportunity to talk and have someone listen. Please get help when you need it!

You can’t fix it on your own, asking for help was the right move. Hang in there, work on getting healthy.

Telledogs, good to see you are seeking help in very tough time. My old dad would advise me with his poor english during 80's recession, "Do not think to much" It helped!

Sorry to hear on your depression. At a personal level it is very difficult to deal with and reaching out to talk with someone is an excellent first step. I wish you well. There are some groups out there as well as one on one. Send me a PM if you are interested in expanding the discussion groups.
Having travelled your road -- I wish you all the best.

Thanks everyone for your kind words & support. It means so much! For the record I am not suicidal just quite blue. My open heart surgery was a lot more to deal with mentally than I could ever have imagined and from the records it is quite normal. I had a great session today and will beat this!! Thanks again.
Sorry for the derail...

Hey bud I hear you loud and clear, I am fighting leukemia and have been for 5 years now, it flared up big time just before xmas last year, my doctor at the cross said we will wait until first week of Jan to start treatment, had some dark moments for sure, it's normal I have adopted the attitude that it is what it is, I didn't ask for it, I don't want it, I didn't choose it but it chose me and I really only have 1 choice, do what my doctors tell me and never ever give up.
I can't allow myself to have any negative thoughts as it drains my energy, and yes some days it's dam tough, seek help from doctors, friends, or just someone that can relate, send me a PM i'll shoot you my cell number it's open to a call 24/7 if you need to talk.. seriously I mean that.
Take care and be safe
Ed

My thoughts and prayers are with those he left behind. Terrible when this happens, especially at this time of year.
May he RIP.

Some very bad years ahead--maybe the worst yet. I work in Nisku--it is a ghost town---projects cancelled left and right after the election. I sell steel to the patch--we see slowdowns before anybody else, brutal out there.
Pull it in tight and don't spend any money boys, some very tough years ahead.
I have just about given up on the pipeline. Please kibosh any more foreign investment too turdeau, that will certainly help.

Always sad to hear about someone getting to that point.
I don’t know his reason but no one should ever be that down.
Condolences to all people affected by this. Sad.

It is very important to find out the Why and maybe do something about it. Alot of people have run out ei. They fall off any list, no longer on the list of unemployed. no longer in the tally. Where do they turn, how do the feed their families????
