IHIJ Suicide

It happened in Jaapan today. About 100 people committed suicide. One of them told a friend he hated his life. Another had not been out the front door for 8 years. 7 of them met online, then met physically and gassed themselves in a car. One couple rented a hotel room and mixed up household chemicals dying together as the police evacuated the surrounding blocks as the stench spread. One man consumed agricultural pesticides and when he threw up in the ER, several people suffered ill effects from the gas. Every one of them felt that this life was not worth living or that some problem was so insurmountable it was not worth going on. Many suffered economic disasters, some just could not find a place to fit in, and others were just a pill a day away from stability but could not face the stigma of consulting a psychiatrist.
