It makes me feel bad about disliking people when I realise they're just as human, fragile and vulnerable as I am. Anyway, if you don't want to read anything that isn't exactly happy, then just don't read any further. Simple as. Someone that Anthony worked with killed himself on Saturday. Hanged himself. His brother came home and found him. I'd never met the boy, and Anthony and he weren't as close as being good or best friends, but they talked, they got along well. Ant found out on Monday, and as I was the only one in the house, he woke me up so he had someone to talk to. I wasn't with it enough to be much help though, which I feel pretty bad about. Monday morning/afternoon he was quite shaken up, but had to go into work to cover the shift. All night after he got home, he was really withdrawn, but by yesterday he seemed to be getting along OK. Today though, he did something quite strange, which worries me. It's not really fair to say what he did, but it was, erm, out of character? enough for me to be quite concerned about it. It's just... disturbing. I'm terrible with wording things properly today. I just don't want him slipping into any kind of depression or anything. He's not really acted like this before, and I'm finding it slightly scary. I think he'll be OK though. He just needs time. I don't really think mum and dad telling him to 'snap out of it' has done all that much good. I really don't get them sometimes. |
