this hits home with me because i am 35, just like the man in the article...
i know depression can be a terrible, terrible, condition to have. i speak from experience and have known others who have suffered from it. it affects more people than you would ever realize... i read this article and it just made me sad....from the guardian. it does not specifically say if they had depression, but that is the major reason for suicide, and the woman had a severe eating disorder, so she had some other issues going on as well....i am not expecting any replies to this, but i just posted this here because none of us will ever know how bad their suffering was, but it had to be so terrible that they could not go on another day...may they find the peace that so tragically eluded them in this life...so sad... :(
Suicide pact couple 'met only hours before death'
Stephen Lumb, 35, and Joanne Lee, 34, died in fume-filled car on Braintree industrial estate after making contact online

Police believe a couple found dead in a suspected chemical suicide pact met only hours before and had made contact via the internet, it was reported today.
Stephen Lumb, 35, from Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire, and Joanne Lee, 34, from Great Notley, near Braintree, Essex, were found in a car parked near an industrial estate on Monday.
It has been reported that the pair made contact online.
Lumb, a lorry driver, then drove 200 miles to Braintree to meet Lee.
The Sun reported that Lee wrote on a website on 4 September that she was "desperate" and wanted to "do it ASAP".
She wrote: "I haven't the strength to do this alone. I'm not a cop, a cannibal or a murderer, just desperate. I have all the ingredients and want to do it ASAP."
The bodies were found in the fume-filled car, which had notes placed on the windows warning of the toxic chemicals inside.
The Sun said Lee, who reportedly had a severe eating disorder, had used the forum to ask advice on concocting a toxic mix to take her own life.
A source close to the investigation said: "We believe they met a few hours before this tragedy."
Sources said it is possible the car had been parked on the site over the weekend, when the area is largely deserted.
Essex police said the deaths, near Braintree Enterprise Centre, were "highly unusual" and confirmed that "noxious" substances had been found inside the vehicle.
The force is treating the deaths as unexplained. The car has been taken to a secure compound.
Firefighters had to wear specialist clothing to remove the bodies from the car.
Lumb's father, Melvyn, who shared a home with him, said he was too upset to pay tribute to his son yesterday, saying: "It's just a shock."

Godfather.
but whats worse is that people take their life every day.
i wonder if whoever gave her the "recipe" for the toxic concoction would be/could be held partly responsible for this...it sounds like she got that info from asking someone on a forum, rather than just google-ing how to do it...so there was some assistance there....and obviously the person who gave up that information knew what the Lee had intended to do with it.
