Well I have been observing this site (daily during my periods of depression) for 2 years now but have never posted anything, until now.
Now, I remember a member by the name ‘Unique’ and really wonder how he is doing. Is he still around? His is one of the most heart wrenching and compelling life-story I have encountered. His story left an impression and really made me ponder.

I understand there is an unwritten code that members on this site assume—if a fellow member signaling his suicide intent does not come back to update, then he most likely had gone through with the ‘deed’.
I wonder where he is now.

He went to India on a journey of discovery
That is as per the last post on here, no further updates since. Not being busybody but wish him well though.
He hasn’t been back to the site since. No one I know has heard from him. He was one of my favourite people.
Hope he’s staying strong and alive.
Well I don’t recall that many usernames but most likely would have read your posts. Nice to meet you though.
I don’t automatically assume someone has done the deed if they stop posting. Unless they gave us their real name there’s no way we would ever know. I think people can get tired of this site like any other site and simply choose to move on from it.
I didn’t know Unique; I see his last post was a couple months before I joined. But I too hope he’s doing well, he seems like a good egg.
I think about him too. Even after all these years, I search him for news. I wrote him a letter and posted it to India. Not sure if he ever got it, or if he gave me a dummy address, or if he caught the bus.
