Local Suicide Strikes Again

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.

It's Really All About You. No Excuses.

Focus on Reality.  You Can Only Ever Change You.

The current social and political climate has become violent and toxic.  The fighting and the angry rhetoric have to STOP, folks. It ALL SOLVES NOTHING. Posting defamatory Biden posts, hate Trump posts only says that you're interested in creating constant negative chaos and fear. NO ONE EVER CHANGED THEIR MIND BECAUSE YOU BEAT THEM SENSELESSLY ABOUT THE HEAD AND FACE with angry rage and attacks.

What have you done today to make the world a BETTER PLACE, instead of seeing everyone who disgrees with you as the enemy?

I am FED UP with all the political infighting, especially in Congress. Our most trusted institutions play patty-cake with our lives like 2 year olds on the playground fighting over the next one on the slide.

Violence is violence, no matter what form it takes, and it is wrong, wrong, wrong. If you are posting Hate Memes it is wrong. Hate speech is wrong. If it's violent, then it's NOT a protest.

The POTUS is just as guilty as Nancy Pelosi. Period. NO EXCUSES.

I wake up every day and ask God to Forgive ME. That's right, me. Forgive me when my Ego runs wild. Forgive my past misdeeds. Forgive my short comings. My defects of character. Forgive my inability to forgive myself or others when I am angry, hurt, or scared. I ask for forgiveness when I do stupid things, say stupid things.

And then I ask for help. Because I understand one very basic thing about life. See, it's not about you, it's about ME. How am I going to choose to live in this short space I have here, this life? I cannot change one single person in this world, but with God's help, I can change me, who I am, who I WANT TO BE.

And this has made all the difference, God has given me a peace beyond all understanding, and fortitude to persevere in this tumultuous time. A space to bring love and joy to my elderly father, and peace to my neighbors and friends.

So... I invite you to try something different. Focus on what's wrong with YOU, instead of everybody else. Fix that, and see what's happens. Focus on gratitude, and what's right about the people around you. I guarantee you will make miracles.
