Hi, /mu/,
I'm not going to stick around here except to tell this story. When the story's done, I'm not monitoring the thread or responding or anything, so if anyone claims they're me giving details or answering questions it's not me. I'm adopting a tripcode solely to ensure there is no confusion.
To get right to the point, last night my closest friend committed suicide. He and I both used 4chan, both of us being /b/tards for awhile until he started to use /mu/ exclusively and I started to use /lit/ and shit. I never got into /mu/ but it really felt great to see him get all excited about new music he found and try to get me into it.
He was decently social in high school but he had a lot of mental problems that started to eat away at him as he got older and at this point he rarely used the house. He had two friends I knew of, me and a girl he knew from high school who was dealing with serious illness. My friend was asexual, and their relationship was never a sexual one because of it, but he loved her like a sister and last month when she succumbed to her illness and passed away, he became very distraught, and I wish to god I could've been there for him but it wasn't possible. We talked on the phone as often as possible, but as far as I knew he was dealing with the pain all alone.

When I got the news last night, I was obviously devastated, and got in my car to come into town to see if anyone else really cared. I called his family, who were reasonably upset but unsurprised. He hadn't spoken to them about what was going on and they didn't know how serious his mental problems had gotten.
His suicide note was four pages long. Three of them were to me. The last page was to you. Apparently he was a tripfag on here, which was news to me.
In short, he said thanks for being there for him. He didn't post in feel threads about what was going on, but he didn't need to. "All I needed was somebody to be there, somebody to make me feel like I was surrounded by friends, no matter how awful they treated each other or me, all I needed was to be with you guys. I'm putting on Aeroplane and after it's done, I'm out (yeah, I know, and I expect shiggies for my choice but I thought about it long and hard)."
So I'd just like to thank you guys for being there for him when I couldn't, and let it know it meant a lot to him.
I'm sorry for posting non-music related stuff, and if you want to turn this into a music related thread I'm sure that's what he'd have wanted.
