What more do you need to know? It's all there in black and white

Apparently he went back inside at 9.45am shouting and screaming.

 

So we was unharmed, thankfully.

 

Some people don't like heights and so for these kinds of people jumping off a block of flats is not a good way to go. I'm assuming he got to the top of the flats, panicked, looked at the drop, suffered from vertigo and thought "this might hurt" and decided to go back inside

"BREAKING"????

 

Theres been 2 threads on this already, do wake up at the back.

Somebody being in sufficient mental turmoil to consider throwing themselves off a tower block is no joking matter. Have some decency please and cease with the cheap jokes.

I happen to know the individual and he is having a tough time at the moment, social services are trying to prevent him from seeing his kids and he'd just received some devastating news about the health of his wife - these issues alone are enough to cause anyone to try and drown the sorrows and end it all. I don't necessarily agree with his actions but when you're as emotionally low as he's been anything is possible. He's ill and needs support rather than being riddiculed.

I Hope your friend finds some peace and gets the help he needs. No one deserves to be so desperate & in such a dark place. good luck to him & I Hope he can gather all his strength & come out of all this a much stronger person. XX

Thanks for your kind words "Bethsmummy". He's more than just a friend - he's my younger brother and we care for him very much. As a family we want to try and help him re-build his life - but he also has to try and help himself on this difficult journey.

i can imagine what he is going through, he needs his good friends around to support him, and try and get him to fight for his kids, and not give up on his life, they need him more than anything. He is at a low place at the moment, where noone else can enter, i have been there, and my friends and family helped me out of it, it took time. It always does, but its worth it.
