To anyone thinking of suicide - please read this post & the many before it. See how deeply Ben's actions hurt others and while no one but you can ever know how much you are suffering, I can promise you if you stay patient & hopeful; things will get better. I myself have been that low believe me and you may not realize it but your actions will have a ripple effect - you are not eliminating your pain; but passing it to those who care most about you. I'm not going to call suicide a selfish act; because I've felt that low myself and I know that it's a lot more complicated than that; but also you owe it to yourself to fight for life. And if you are asking yourself why - maybe you should try asking why not. Remember things can always get better; but you can never reverse a death.

To anyone who's just depressed or has other mental ailments; let's talk. You have nothing to be ashamed of and you owe it to yourself to try to get better (because you can get better!!!). I'm not saying persay talk to me personally (although you are all more than welcome to via Skype [kingwithoutathrone11], even past foes of mine; we are all in the same tribe on this issue!) but there are resources available around you I garuntee it; take advantage of them. Only you can let others help you. For a longtime I didn't let others help me; I was stubborn and churlish and I am so glad that I now see things differently. I hope you are able to do the same

I won't be posting on this forum anymore, but Ben deserved a proper commemoration & I really hope we never have to mourn another member of our community in this manner ever again.
