Where do I start?

I'm in the worst mental space I've been in in almost 20 years. I'm being treated like shit at work (not by staff but damn pharmacy customers). I want to say I need a vacation but don't know if a vacation will help. It's unhealthy and there's no end in sight.

I caught myself thinking about the s-word today while at work dealing with all this shit. It's been 19 years (back then it was constant and incredibly serious, whereas this was more the thought was there and I shot it down). I'm not worried about acting on said thoughts and this was fleeting and shot down but even having those thoughts for any length of time scares the fuck out of me. Couple that with the feeling of needing a drink when I get home from work every night is making me start to get real worried (note I consciously chose not to consume alcohol after work for this very purpose).

I'm not really sure how to start this, but... here it goes.

I just found out that one of my coworkers committed suicide. It's totally blindsided me, and I don't know what to think right now. I feel sick, gross, sad, and angry all at the same time. I knew this person really well, and we always got along when we worked together. I knew they had some personal stuff going on, but... I didn't know it was that bad.

I hope they're resting peacefully now.

Man that’s devastating to hear. I’m so sorry I couldn’t imagine losing someone to that I was with on a regular basis. Do whatever you need to do to process my friend.

All I can really do is keep going, I have to for my own sanity's sake.

Keep your mind busy if you can. I know when my father passed due to drug issues, that was the number one thing just trying to keep my mind distracted.

A small update on the situation, but... it's looking more and more like it wasn't a suicide.

Oh, man. I don’t know if that would make it easier or harder for me personally to process.

Well that's a lot of boxes open. We talking tainted drugs?
