My niece was depressed and running into many problems including drugs. One day she mentioned to her father that she wanted to kill herself and that she had tried. My brother got help for her real fast. In therapy it was discovered that the nub of her pain which caused all the depression was the death of her best friend which she thought she had caused. It was her deluded thinking clouded by her depression which snowballed into thoughts of suicide and an attempt.

She is fine now, went back to school, got away from her drug friends and met a nice stable young man. We have just been invited to their wedding.

Sounds like this poor soldier was dealing with similar issues.

When you hear something weird at night, and walk into the bathroom of your home to find your teenaged child barely moving after taking a handful of pills...

I can tell you it is the most helpless feeling in the world.

No previous signs. A stupid break up with an idiot boyfriend.

People that do this are not ALL nuts. Sometimes they simply get sick of carrying the load and they do not think anyone else will be able to help them.
