With all the shit about Robin Williams and the inevitable suicide threads happening, I noticed that **Foggy** hasn’t posted here since June. His mum passed away earlier in the month, and his last post was again a notice that he would be likely to die in the near future too. Does anybody here know **Foggy** IRL, or have a way of finding out if he’s OK or not? Or if ya reading this **Foggy** …g’is a heads-up dude! Please? 😕 ---

Bumping, now that it’s closer to morning on the West Coast. ---

**Foggy** has struggled with severe depression and suicidal ideation/impulses (for those wondering). **Foggy** , are you there? Will you check in and tell us how you’re doing and how we can help? ---

I too have been worried about him based on the content of his last couple of posts here. I kept checking every so often to see if he was back but feared the worst as time went on without any word. I hope that he is doing okay. I hope it helps him to know that people on here do care. ---

I tried to PM him after those posts but he had PMs turned off. I’m glad to hear he’s still out there reading and hope one day he starts posting again.
