My summer has been by far one of the worst few months of my life. I was really looking forward to it, I was planning on going to Europe with my family and traveling around through France and Belgium and such. A few weeks into July just before I was about to leave, I drove down to my best friends house to see if he wanted to go to the bar. He wasn't answering his door so I walked in, because usually he's playing a game or something and can't hear me. I called his name a few times and didn't get a response so I walked into his living room, and found that he'd shot himself in the head. My best friend was laying in a pool of his own blood in his living room. There wasn't a note left or anything, he just decided to take his own life like that. He didn't have depression problems, he was actually the happiest and funniest guy I knew. That's why he was my best friend. Awesome start to my summer.
About a month before summer, my Jack Russell who I had for about 12 years was hit by a car and killed. I decided now was the time to get a dog i've always wanted, a border collie. I got him just before my friend killed himself, and about a month and a half later he seemed a little weird. He couldn't balance properly and was stumbling around. I took him into the vet and they said he had severe brain damage from an infection at birth and it was only going to get worse. Over the next few days he did indeed get worse. He couldn't recognize faces, he wouldn't listen at all, he couldn't stand up, drink water, eat, and he couldn't control his body temperature anymore. I had to put him down.
Here's the little bugger, named Scotty

About a week ago I found out my parents are getting a divorce, and my father left a day after I found out and is back home in Scotland. He never even said goodbye, and I don't know if I'll ever get to see him again.
Just today my great grandma who helped raise me as a child was admitted to the hospital because she's having some serious problems and she probably won't make it through the next few days. On top of that, my aunt was diagnosed with leukaemia and decided she didn't want to go through with chemo because they said she wouldn't have a good chance even with it. I'm not sure how long she has to live.
TL;DR, my best friend killed himself and I walked in on it, my dog of 12 years was killed then the puppy I got right after to replace him had brain damage and was put down, my parents divorced and I may never see my father again, my great grandma is about to die, and my aunt has cancer and isn't going through chemotherapy.
I know most of FP won't care, but I really needed to vent because this has been the shittiest time of my life

Hahaha, I can't believe this. We're in the middle of a storm (I love in the mountains of BC so this isn't unusual) and half of a tree broke off and landed on the side of one of my trucks I have parked beside my house, breaking the windshield and putting several dents in it. Just my luck

Damn and even I thought that was a tad cruel, still laughed though.
That's nothing. You've obviously not gotten your dick stuck in a desk fan.
I feel sad for you. But dont you think your friend killing himself is a bit odd. He didnt leave a note or was depressed. I think he was killed. Other then that have a heart

No, it was suicide. I was hanging out with his ex-girlfriend the day before, and he asked her if she wanted anything of his, like his car. His last facebook post was "What happens when the last thread finally breaks?" We had no idea what he was talking about - in retrospect it seems incredibly fucking obvious what was going on and if we weren't complete fucking idiots we could have done something

Still isnt it weird. Just shoots himself. Did anything cause this? Like life, or parents. Its weird to just pop out a gun one day and shoot yourself.
Sucks man, just think, everything has to get better for you sooner or later, just take things in stride :unsmith:
I had a sad experience when my aunt died. She was so friendly. My cousin just dissapeared after that. She has never went back to work. Her car is there but she isnt.

What i mean is she ran away. Probably dead.

The only reason anyone could think of was that his girlfriend broke up with him. But he didn't seem depressed at all, until you looked at the texts he was sending to her. He was also the kind of person that did something without thinking of the consequences. Like jumping into a hot tub of a random house while the people are home. It just happened.
His little sister turned 9 today. She still thinks it was an accident, I think it's better that she thinks that because he meant the world to her

If i was you id do some hard time CSI Shit. I mean i wouldnt pop a gun to my head if my girlfriend dumped me. Plus i did hard time csi stuff when my cousin left without saying. I learned alot of stuff that could have caused it.
A guy on my street drove his car into a train because his girlfriend broke up with him.
Of course that was 20 years ago or so so I didn't meet him. He might have been a little nuts. Point is, people do that stuff.

There was already an investigation and they also concluded that it was suicide. He took the battery out of his phone so no one could call him

Ouch.
Wow man that really sucks, You have my condolences.

or the murderer took it out so nobody could call him while he was being murdered :iiam:
Have a free hug :sympathy:
[QUOTE=sphinxa279;24562865]or the murderer took it out so nobody could call him while he was being murdered :iiam:[/QUOTE]
the murderer must have also taken his phone the day before and sent texts to his ex-girlfriend saying "only you can save me" and such, right?
Wow... I'm really sorry. :/
I'll be your new best friend.
[QUOTE=Pandamox;24562883]the murderer must of also taken his phone the day before and sent texts to his ex-girlfriend saying "only you can save me" and such, right?[/QUOTE]
He knew he was going to be killed and that his girlfriend could save him, once again :iiam:
Rated Funny.
EDIT: Saw the friend bit, I feel bad.
Here, have my shitty heart.
<3
That's horrible.
This gave me a major sad face.
That's really depressing, but luckily it sounds like you personally are neither dead nor dying. It's going to be hard but you have to move on. Stick with others, try not to sit around by yourself too much.
Holy shit. I feel sorry for you - no-one should have to suffer that much emotional loss.
