Wazzu backup QB suicide?
- Thread starter barney44
- Start date
Suicide is awful. Had two people I know, one early 20s, other late 20s commit suicide within the last 4 months so this hits close to home. Sorry for the family and friends impacted by this, so sad.
Had family members commit suicide, had friends commit suicide. You don't get to chose who you do and do not hurt when you kill yourself.
If you need to, just talk with anybody. I'd take time out of my day to talk with a perfect stranger.
If there are any men out there close to doing this, understand you were not created to be a lone warrior out there, you are a social creature and you can talk with a brother out there about anything, they may give you something to think about that you need to help fight it off you. Even if you literally have no family.
I'm here in the North Platte area if anybody needs help.
God bless.

They don’t understand either. That’s whats so hard about depression and anxiety, not understanding what is going on in ur own head. The best bet is to talk to a dr who can explain the actual chemical reactions happening in your brain that causes it. This is a sad reminder of how fragile life is and that these football players we watch like commodities are souls with struggles.
Very sad.
"The athletic department announced that the football team was brought together Tuesday evening and informed of Hilinski’s death. They were met by campus and department counseling and psychological services, including the athletic department’s on-staff clinical psychologist and a licensed mental health counselor, along with the department’s medical team.
The university will continue to coordinate and provide ongoing counseling care for all student-athletes as long as needed, the school said.
Hilinski appeared in eight games during his sophomore season, throwing for 1,176 yards and seven touchdowns. His most memorable outing came in the second week of the season when he led Washington State from a 21-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Boise State 47-44 in triple overtime. Hilinski threw for 240 yards and three touchdowns coming off the bench.
His only start came in the bowl game against Michigan State, although he played extensively in a loss to Arizona."

There can be all kinds of things that precipitate something like this. Genetics can play a role in depression and IMO usually does. Alcohol and drug use (including "harmless" MJ) can lead to paranoia and suicidal thoughts. Winter "blues" from the dark short days of winter is a problem for a lot of people. There can be a TON of pressure for college students from grade or social (girl/boy friend) issues. I lost a 62 year old friend to suicide who had battled depression for ALL of the 30+ years I knew him and I had no idea. Played basketball with him for 20+ years. He had played in college. I knew the last few years he had multiple back surgeries and the last time I talked to him he said he couldn't sleep at night because of the pain and nothing helped. Narcotics didn't even help. Anybody thinking about suicide needs to realize that there are probably dozens of people who care about them that would love to help and who are going to be devastated if they do it. It isn't the answer.

make sure you re-post this fall the first time our QB turns the ball over.
I remember NU football player in the late 80s I think he was from Shelby that ended his life, the thing we need to remember that they are not mentally stable depression or some other type of mental illness something we cannot see and difficult to understand.
My ex wife committed suicide this summer. She had been depressed long before I met her and long after we divorced. She ended our marriage because she thought that would make her happy. It didn't. It seems like nothing can make someone happy when they are dealing with this. It didn't shock me when I heard she had died but it was extremely hard to deal with.
Seasonal depression is real as well. Jan and Feb in Nebraska are a brutal time
The thing that they don't realize is that they see that's the only way out and they'll be in peace the problem is they create 1000 different issues with the people they leave behind, be it a spouse, brothers, sisters, parents, friends. I hate funerals but when you go to a older persons it's sad but you start to reminisce talk about the old day, when someone commits suicide it really depressingly sad and the same question is always why did they do it
Sometimes that is not seen as an opportunity to those who chose this. They see it as a burden.
Did you talk to her at all anymore or had you stopped communicating after the divorce?
We were pretty close for about 10 years after the divorce until I met my current wife. The last few years we just exchanged emails a few times a year.
Someone mentioned about what you do to the people you leave behind. My ex was not close to anyone in her family besides her sister. My ex was a pharmacist with a good career, home and savings. However, she killed herself and didn't leave a will. Now her sister is left to deal with all kinds of issues regarding my ex's estate through the court system. The rest of her family is pissed thinking they are getting screwed by the sister, yet they hadn't talked to my ex in 20 years. Just a complete mess.
I am sure she was not in a proper mental state, so I am not talking about her in particular. But a damn will/trust everybody. It costs $200 and takes 30 minutes with a lawyer. If you have a tax guy, they can probably do it or they have somebody in their office that can. Probate sucks. Get your stuff handled.
I know exactly what you're talking about like I said I'll vaguely discuss it on a open forum I happen to be a private person I don't do Facebook or Snapchat twitter. And I don't wish to have my friend being brought up I'm sure there people on this board who have a idea my name. But us that are affected do need to talk about it. I feel better just typing about it maybe i might reach someone who is thinking about about suicide and have a change of heart. Sometimes it's just a small word,jesture that will click with them and decide to get help
I am so sorry you have lost loved ones to suicide. I cannot even imagine. As per your offer, amazing. Well done. From a HUGE UCF fan, GBR.
Thanks man, it was 3 in one day actually. My cousin had her two children in the car and started the car and never opened the garage door. It was very early, like 3 am, so the kids were asleep and never woke up. It was pretty bad.
Suicide, or worse in that case, is horrible for those left. They'll never understand.
God Bless you for surviving such a tragedy. Words escape me. Prayers to those poor innocent children. Wow.
Well that may be the worst thing I’ve heard in a long while. I’m sorry you’ve had to be apart of that.
I'm sorry to anybody if I've depressed you reading that.
I wish Hillinski(sp) could have made friends with a child who has no parents, or legs, or participated in something impactful not only to someone else but himself too, that could have shown him people need guys like him to stay.
There is a lot of real love in demand out there.
