    A famous movie quote, "Every man has his breaking point". After long periods of being beaten down, especially for men in marriages with children, the mind and emotional state can really get loopy. Some people don't think they can rebuild their lives, or know how evil the spouse is and doesn't want to deal with the potential for arrest, financial ruin, and even the loss of what they have become familiar with. Even if that familiar is an insufferable bitch on wheels. Yes crazy indeed! Is any of this an excuse to take your own life, NO! Shit does get weird in your head when you know someone you are with is cheating, or about to leave you for another.
    Having and maintaining a good circle of a few close buddies helps a lot though.

    Yep, I was the fat kid growing up and I took a lot of abuse at the hands of others. Mostly just name calling but at a point in my life where I was very young naive and impressionable. Would I ever have done it? Probably not but I thought about it. Call me weak or thin skinned. I’ve been called a lot worse.

    Same here. Thought about it but nope, not an actual option for me.

    I am well aware that when my kid reaches maturity and I retire, my natural purpose on this planet will be completed. This is why I have been planning that moment by investing in motorcycles and I intend to ride the living shit out of as many of them as I can when that moment happens. I'll be ready.

    Seems overwhelmingly likely to be some sort of cover-up. What kind of adult who takes 100's of 1000's of penises for a living is going to get bent out of shape enough to off themselves because of a little bit of cyber-bullying by some libtards on her Twitter. I'm guessing it was drug related (and by that I don't mean an intention OD).

    Come on man. Her career choice alone is a good indication that she was broken. Confident and well adjusted women don't wind up in porn. Chicken or egg or whatever, she obviously had issues besides Twitter.

    Of course, but most porn starlets are also huge crackheads.

    It's kind of silly that more than one person thought a conversation about mental health is somehow political or religious.

    Yeah fair enough. All the trappings of a life gone sideways.
     
  11. As a 16 year I lost my father that way, no way I’d put my wife and kids through it,mind you all the other stuff that goes along with it. On a positive note after some years of back and forth it’s made me a 100% better person and surely appreciate life a lot more at 41 than I ever have. Point being no matter how bad things are there’s surely something positive waiting in the wings.

    I can honestly say I have never thought about suicide being an option for me. I could see running away and disappearing in a foreign country if things went pear shaped on me but apart from the painful terminal illness scenario I really can not imagine things being bad enough for me that I would consider taking my own life.

    But ya, there had to be more going on here than cyberbullying.

    Discussions about mental health and care for it gets political very quickly.

    I can absolutely see exceptions but for now and even then no matter how bad things got it just wasn't an option.

    Well...I love my wife but if she decides she'd rather have a different wiener I'm not offing myself over it. I can't say there won't be the occasional hooker making enough money to pay her rent this month but....dead over it. Ummm...no.

    I've gone through bouts of depression throughout my life with any rhyme or reason. Some last for a while and others are brief flashes, sometimes nothing at all brings it on. I had two suicide "moments" in my life, once when I was about 15 and then I went through an absolute careless and reckless life willing to put myself in harms way almost tempting death. And then another at the end of a brutal year which was 2001. I lost my Dad, a few friends, a business and a unhealthy marriage that year. Christmas morning I was all set to run my bike into a Arizona cliff- I just did not have a single care left in me to continue living. I sympathize for anyone struggling.

    At this point in my life and with the responsibilities of my kids its simple not an option. I've had too many friends/family members end their own life and have first hand experience with the aftermath.

    RIP Ms. Ames.
