I don’t know if any of you remember my ex-boyfriend Jeff. We dated our junior year of High School for a few months. After we broke up, we remained friends for a few years until I got married and then we lost touch. I went to his wedding (he later divorced), he went to mine. He was a good, decent guy. He treated me good, we just weren’t a good match. After our break up, he told me about some psychological problems he had. I honestly had no idea this was going on when we dated. He was seeing a psychiatrist, so I thought he was doing ok. I hadn’t talked to him in years, but he ran into Chris about a month ago and gave him his phone number. I never called him. I thought it would be awkward. I guess his problems were too much for him, because he took his own life last Monday. I went through so many different emotions when I found out. From sad, to feeling sorry for his parents, to anger. I don’t understand it and I don’t think I ever will. I plan to go to his viewing on Sunday. I feel like I need to say goodbye. Thanks to everyone that helped me talk this out.

I'm so sorry to hear that. It's so confusing when you don't know what was going on in their head. It's hard to understand why. I hope you're doing ok.
