Today a man took his life by jumping from the Driving Park bridge, in Rochester. NY. A precious life lost to suicide. Friends, There is no problem so great that taking your own life will solve. Relieving the pain that leads to suicide is the only answer.
People who take their own lives are really only trying to escape the horrible, internal emotional pain they cannot manage. A pain so great you and I cannot imagine.
Our current mental health system is over loaded and under staffed. After losing so many people to Covid these last three years, the population has an enormous number of individuals grieving the loss of loved ones they often did not get to see before they passed.
Such grief and bereavement can cause Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and lead to suicidal ideation or thoughts of self harm. PTSD takes on a life of its own, causing difficulty sleeping, mood swings and angry outbursts, depression and anxiety, and other symptoms.
