A guy at work hanged himself a couple of hours before our shift started today. When I arrived at work, I was told we were having a meeting. I then found out that grief counsellors were coming too. That was when we were told what happened.
Apparently, they told us he had been dealing with depression over the past few months and his family was trying to get him to get treatment. I along with a few others had to leave work as it just messed with my head too much. I wasn't close to him but did sit next to him in the lunch room and chat occasionally with him. I initially had those feelings of guilt about seeing signs but as the counsellor explained, he wouldn't even let the professionals know his real issues and he was good at hiding it.
We are raising some money at work to assist his family. This is the 3rd suicide at my work place since I have been there over almost 10 years. The first time that I worked closely with the person. Pretty brutal.
