I just found out that a friend of mine committed suicide last July. I suspect taht I should have kept better contact with him, but occasionally I get caught up in big hacking projects or whatever, so it's sometimes several months before I try to re-establish contact. Losing a friend like this is like losing a big bundle in investments. You invest your quality time and build better friendships out of them. I'd like to not lose an investment like that again, so I'm asking: Are there any signs that I should watch out for? How can I tell if someone I know is having suicidal tendencies? Suppose s/he does have these signs, how do I help stabilize them? -- Ken Turkowski @ CADLINC, Menlo Park, CA UUCP: {amd,decwrl,nsc,seismo,spar}!turtlevax!ken ARPA: turtlevax!ken@DECWRL.ARPA
