No, there really isn't anything anyone can do. Already have had three friends commit suicide in the last two days.

That's terrible ): in a way, you're right that no one can make the suffering of losing someone go away. Talking and being comforted often can help help get through it though.

If you have remaining friends or loved ones nearby, try to keep in touch with them for mutual support. Try to take breaks from grieving, do something that distracts you and makes you forget about it for awhile. Grief can be very physically taxing and exhausting.

Sharing dark/depressed/grief-filled thoughts, where you don't have to worry about worrying your friends or family, can help. A grief forum, or a support forum, might be the best place. I think there are sites specifically for people who have lost someone to suicide.

Oh man, that really sucks. We're sorry, anon.

--Rogan

Holy fucking shit.

Have all of my internet hugs.

Wow, that's horrible! Have they offered any counselling through your school?

Jesus Christ. I'm so sorry, op.

Shit, that's absolutely gut-wrenching. No wonder you're upset...something like that takes a great deal of time to process and grieve and it isn't the kind of experience you forget.

So please take care of yourself in the meantime, and if you feel you need counseling please consider it. I imagine you need some comfort right now, so I hope you have other friends or family to talk to.

I hope you'll be okay.

Fucking hell, that's horrible. You have my sympathy...

That's horrible anon D: How are you feeling? Do you have people you can hang with? Or would you prefer to stay home and watch TV? Take care of yourself anon.

Holy fuck, I'm so sorry nonnie. You get all of my internet hugs and support.

Christ that's awful :(

There are several people I know online who I'm afraid to check in on right now because I'm terrified of discovering same... don't know where you are, but whole MH system and psychiatric hospitals have been on high alert where I am due to political events. And I'm too scared to check in with some people because I can't cope with even knowing yet. At too much risk myself.

well that was a rant you probably didn't need to hear, but I'm sending you virtual hugs. I've lost people same way in the past. too horrific for words.

The UK and probable NHS fuckery courtesy of the evil overlord, or something else? Either way, that's awful and I'm really sorry.

Probably the UK election from the sound of it, but those of us here in the US are on pins and needles waiting for a Supreme Court decision that could very well throw out the entirety of Obamacare.

Yeah, I don't think that'll happen. There already was a giant court case over PPACA, and the same bench that's there now just moderated it. Is John Roberts (who wrote the middle-of-the-road deciding opinion) really going to go back and say, "No, nevermind, let's gut the whole thing"?

If, somehow, he does, it's going to be an interesting year for the GOP.

I don't think it's as impossible as all that.

From a legal point of view, the questions at hand are quite different (NFIB v Sebelius was about Congress' power to mandate purchase of healthcare; King v Burwell is pretty directly about the interpretation of the specific text of the proviso about exchanges). So there's every possibility that someone could rule one way on one case, and the other on the other, and be perfectly fine in terms of legal coherence.

From a strategic point of view (or what we as well call the John Roberts point of view), I have to think that John Roberts would probably like to see Obamacare go away, and I think there are also strategic considerations that could explain his earlier vote - for instance, I have to think he'd be happy about forcing the left wing of the bench to sign on to a decision limiting the power of the Commerce Clause. And I think this is exactly the kind of way that he thinks, strategically speaking.

Finally, from a party political point of view, I'm not sure it's as bad as all that for the GOP. I have to assume that they'd pass some kind of 'fix' bill - one designed to be so repugnant to the left as to force either the Senate to filibuster it or Obama to veto it, you know, a whole industry wishlist, gut a bunch of stuff from the original ACA, etc. And I'm not sure that's really that bad of a narrative politically, if you can say "You had this law, and you wrote it so poorly that millions of people had their healthcare taken away, and we're trying to fix it and you won't even let us do that." I mean, it's still not a great line, but it's not an unmitigated disaster either.

Even with all that, I still think, on balance, they're more likely than not to uphold Obamacare as it stands - at the end of the day, it really is a hell of a lot of people to throw out of the healthcare system on the grounds of a variant reading of a single phrase. But there's cause for concern.

If you like to talk nonny, let us know. blahtherapy.com and 7cupsoftea.com have been helpful to me too for talking to people, before having a counseling.

That's a surprisingly high density. Were they about to graduate or something?

I imagine your whole peer group is shaken up, as well as other people who knew them.
