SUICIDE ALERT! derpy chuian. PLEASE HELP
14 years ago
i normally wouldn't do this, but a fan of the comic just sent me a suicide note. they've told me not to tell anyone, but i'm not a douche.
i don't know anything about this guy. i don't have his address. i don't have his phone number. if you do, please PLEASE contact the authorities. PLEASE call him. i've e-mailed him back saying not to do it and to please come talk to me, but that's all i can do.
i apologise for passing this on to FA, but the guy honestly needs help that me being across the country and only an artist he knows can't provide. i can't get there fast enough or get anyone who can help there fast enough. if you can, please do something. or at least hold him in your thoughts.
on Sofurry (i've never heard of this site before) he's known as "Fur the Reanimator" and this is literally the only bit of information he gave me.
joseph has found his steam username here and so far that's it. i'm attempting to load my forums and see if he ever posted a comment (giving me an IP would help us track his ISP and maybe get EMTs there)
his last KNOWN login to the MUD was from IP 75.90.113.218
this means he is in GEORGIA (i think)
just received another email from derpy a few minutes ago, talking specifically about a gun in his hand and saying his ip was "jacked" and the police won't find him if they trace it. i'm really scared right now you guys.
i have derpy on e-mail right now, he's said he's "lost the resolve" for tonight but i'm still concerned. if you know him or can help him please h urry over. i don't want him to be alone right now.

for some reason, they chose me to be the one to send their suicide note to. i guess they felt they were close to me, but i can honestly say i only knew them as a very friendly player of my MUD and chatted casually with them a few times. i wish i knew more because then i could help more, but this really is the extent of my knowledge of this person.
Best of luck to everyone, and I hope more people respond to this journal.
Theres only so much you can do, before finding out that the best you can do, if make them feel a little better.
I hope it all turns out ok, but you've done all you can, Not-Fun.
you can't call his police, you cant do anything else...
This may sound harsh, but you can't keep holding their hand for months on end.
I've been there, it drains your soul. I'm the guy who help others out when I can.
That said, you've done the best job you could.
I mentioned that several times in my post.
But I've walked this road with about three or four people, and while they seemed to go away, marginally better, I was slowly becoming depressed by having to spend hours cheering them up.
When I say sould draining, I mean it. I had to stop talking to one because he would seem okay, log off, then the next morning, need fixing again.
Sorry if I sound like I'm telling you to cut him loose.
TL DR version
When you can help, do so. Dont help so much that you started getting depressed.
but no, i know what you mean. when i was younger i attempted to be the "pillar" for most friends, and it was just a poor choice of things to be. i stopped and i don't intend to be that person again.
this was dumped in my lap so i did what i needed to in an attempt to get them help. if they send me a second threat, i won't respond and i'll send it directly to the police office along with every piece of additional information i can come up with. i am not their emotional dumping ground and as i've said, i barely know them. it would be extremely unfair of them to just decide i would be their go-to "suicide stopper" for the rest of their life.
I understand the stress part. Someone randomly dumps a threat of suicide on you, you have no clue who they are (and so know nothing of their reasons, so cant help much), add to that that you are a good person, you feel complied to help when you can.
You did well here.
I hope they feel better soon. I don't really know many people in person. So there's really no chance of me knowing them.
Though judging by the time of the year, I suspect the terrible December crash might have a part in this. A holidays about getting together and getting along can be all the more depressing when life hands you lemons. December is both good at pointing out and making the good times better, as it is at making bad times all the more worst with the stress you have to deal with that time of the year.
I sincerely hope they feel better soon.
i suspect it may have been, because when i got him talking later he seemed to avoid details of xmas and generally spoke of them in a depressive way. although me myself and i, having little/no swag on xmas wouldn't drive me to that point...
