Death of a PI.com member

OMG i has spoken to him a couple of times as he only lived less than 20 minutes from me.

What a waste of a life at such a young age.

SIS was the high- light of this website that he dominated. Every post was intelligent, with humour added.

He was young and full of life.

I bumped into him on another website. Aussie Stock Forums.
I was only thinking of him a few weeks ago. He hasn’t posted there for a while.

I hope the moderators create a posting of a few of his
posts so the new members can see who we’ve lost .A young man full of fun and very quick witted.
SIS was a doer.

full of sadness.
bruham.

Oh thats tragic.
Was he the young guy who had done heaps of property deals and really succesful by 21(from memory)?
You never know whats going on inside a person.
my heart goes out to his family and all you guys who knew him,
really sad.

I’m just amazed and shocked at the news. I’ve re- written this post several times just trying to find the right words. Depression is a real sickness, that often gets ignored, and has sadly claimed another victim. What a waste of talent.

Hello all.

I’m saddened to hear the news. A friend of mine, also a young guy, ended his life last Easter after battling Depression his whole life and it’s still haunting all his good friends and family.

If anyone out there, particularly men (as we don’t tend to be as inclined to seek help as women), are trying to cope with the often debilitating symptoms of Depression please, please, please seek professional help. Friends and family are awesome support but they aren’t qualified to treat the source of the illness.

Please take a moment to check out the National Depression Initiative at http://www.beyondblue.org.au and refer it to anyone you think might be at risk.

Peace,

I prefer not to trivialise clinical depression by calling it sadness. This intimates that all you need to do is try to cheer yourself up and that the state will pass in a short while. It doesn’t reflect that this can be a chronic illness caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain like other diseases.

I would prefer to see it called Seratonin Deficiency and lose the stigma of the term depression and the way well meaning friends and family think that you just need to buck and and get over the “sadness”.

I am guessing our old friend SIS was more than just sad. Sad people don’t seek such a final resolution to their condition.

If any of my friends here feels so bad that they think that they have no further options in life please drop me an email or a call and I will help you find some help. That’s a promise.

SIS dropped away from this forum a while back when the boom showed signs of transferring to the sharemarket. By all accounts he did well there too. Sometimes share traders spend too long in front of the PC and not enough time with friends. We all should be careful not to end up there.

Lets all have a New Year that is an improvement on the last in every way we can.

Dazzling, I have send a private email, but was wondering if you and other forum members think it is a problem that men tend not to “vent” their feelings like women are prone to.

You know, have a good whinge and a really good sook, and feel better after.

I have a good life, happy marriage but just before Christmas I just felt blah! Like someone had lifted me up and I was living in a parallel universe, not really connecting with my family. I was depressed – I have no doubt – but it went on for about a week before I felt better. I didn’t feel close to my hubby or my kids. I really felt like I could have left home and started somewhere new.

I have experienced depression in close family members and would not want to feel like I did for any length of time, though I do accept that we can’t feel on top of the world all the time.

My hubby would rather have his teeth pulled than really “talk” about his feelings. He sees it as being weak in some way, and that it doesn’t help how he feels when he is down, which is a bid sad.

Hi,

I’m not sure how I missed this post, but in reading the comments I would add that any person who is happy to share his or her time by helping others leaves quite a footprint.

SIS was a welcome and valued contributor. His passing is sad news indeed.
