Not sure what to post here, following instructions to write something, I am a friend of G1974 who died at 11:28 Saturday night following a car crash. I had no idea he was considering suicide. I wish he had come to me first. I recieved a text late Saturday afternoon from him, saying he had emailed me some instructions, posting here being one of them.
We served together in the Royal Marines and he saw some pretty awful things being a medic. As it turned out, it was his childhood that would eventually catch up with him and torment him much more than I or anyone else had imagined.
Everyone he has left behind will miss him terribly. Rest in Peace my friend.

Poor guy… Everyones on the “splinter” thing, and thats all people care about right now (To be honest, I dont really get what its about, but it seems to be the talk of the site). He made a comment on it and a lot of people started getting angry with him. I hought this was supposed to be a place where everyone could relate to you and possibly make you feel better, but instead people here dont really seem to care anymore. Too many sad stories, and it just makes people feel even worse. Sometimes people have gone through worse things than others and the person whos gone through less than the other feels like crap because he/she thinks that they have no reason to be sad because the other person has it harder. (Sorry I dont know if that made sense. Im not good with advice because Im depressed myself) but maybe thats how your friend felt. I’m VERY sorry for your loss… R.I.P G1974
RIP G1974…
it is always saddened me so much to read the story/account of a person undergoing all the terrible experiences in his/her childhood, even in his/her entire life, with no appreciation or anybody understanding him/her whatsoever!
Even though your friend has now gone,..I truly believe that there must be *something*, an important MESSAGE that your friend (G1974) is trying to relay to you, and many others.
Don’t close your heart to the *message*,
learn from it,
respect it,
honor it,
and LIVE it,
then,..your friend’s death will not be in vain at all,..it would be a Meaningful one.
Worthlessgirl: The levels of a persons depression or suicidal feelings does not outweigh anyone else’s – but there is no need to ***** about the ‘attention’ someone else is getting and forcibly try to steer that ‘attention’ onto yourself (the very fact that you use that term to describe people’s reactions to someone just highlights exactly how you perceive this sight, and not the fact that it is here to help people not give merely ‘attention’).
I feel for your troubles, I really do, but I don’t care for your behaviour, it is depressing me, thanks! I notice that you yourself are talking more about Splinter in YOUR posts than anyone else is, only you’re talking negatively. You say this post is supposed to be people caring for each other etc – well heed your own advice girl.
You’re embarrassing yourself.
I guess it was only a matter of time before the vultures loomed for the leftovers.
Farahxx: Don’t bite my love, she is purposely being provocative, best ignored, honestly. Some people are just so shit no matter what. As depressing as it might be some people use systems like this just to be awful, because no-one wants to be accused of upsetting a ‘suicidal person’. It’s a form of abuse and all it does in the end is dilute the real concern. It’s life, people are shit.
Okay I meant NOTHING by it so why the heck is everyone attacking me?! Im just saying a lot of people like splinter and yeah it makes me a little jealous. So what? Im 17 and only human. And Im not PURPOSELY being provacative. And thanks for calling me shit! And I was NEVER trying to steer the attention on myself! You really know how to make a person feel better. You never read my story and you dont know what I’ve been through so why dont you just shut your fucking mouths. I was only expressing my thoughts! You cant do anything nowadays without people judging you and giving you shit!!! I’ve had enough of this site! Im ending it all here and im going to stab myself repeatedly so goodbye JERKS!
It is sad to hear that another person in the world is gone. The thing to do is to learn from it and see if maybe you can understand him. Needles to say I wish I knew him.
WorthlessGirl: Please don’t Go just yet. You have a voice use it. Your chose Your voice.
Ever one has a mind and a heart. Bad things, Horrible things but the thing that makes us human is that we stand a take it until we give up and die or find other happiness
After what happened to G1974, someone who risked his life in war to SAVE lives as a medic, then getting lamblasted by people here for no good reason at all (other than they wanting to dish out some of their pain themselves)… on a post meant to commemorate his deeds, I find what’s happening to not “WorthlessGirl”, on this post especially, to be disturbingly ironic.
I don’t know you, but RIP G1974.
