This article should come as no surprise to anybody who has friends or relatives and acquaintances. We’ve lost a couple family members and friends to suicide over the past few years. On the outside, the facade they placed made it seem like all was well - but you could tell something was not quite right.
I think about what happened to the late EDM artist Avici - the guy clearly had mental issues. He even would agonize about his work schedule and mental health on interviews for years, and I’m thinking while listening to them - GET HELP DUDE! Quite your gig and get help, who cares what your ‘handlers’ say.

There are a lot of people out there suffering right now. Use your resources if you are suffering from these types of thoughts.

1. Family 2. Friends 3. Church Outreach 4. Suicide Prevention Networks 5. God Himself (JESUS) **last but not least**

The Bible says your life & soul is more precious than the entire world. That’s how valuable you are! Mark 8:36

Lifting up all of those in prayer who are down in their struggles that The Lord will rejuvenate and rehabilitate them to the Joy He intends for all of us.

God Bless You All!

I’m OK if God decided to reboot the planet. We’re either going to get a President Biden or massive destruction in the country. The former could also lead to the latter.

[AFB-XYZ]

It’s heartbreaking, but not unexpected.

Wonder how many who consider taking that final step aren’t trying to “escape” per se, but instead (in their own minds, anyhow) duplicating the actions of the inhabitants of Masada in A.D. 73?

[Arcadian Empire]

There is too much **** happening at once.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I did my part. My ghost is posting on my behalf for now.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Who knows?

Either way, that is not the answer God intends for people.

Many of the prescription drugs people take have side affects that vary by individual—but can lead to suicidal thoughts.

Imho that is a _major_ contributing factor...

Not just the “bad news”

the total shutdown of social activity and virtually all recreation events.

The isolation and the internet.

Suicide rates, alcoholism, drug abuse, overdose, and domestic violence are all up.

Thanks Fauci.

And gathering to worship at church is also a social activity and the damned judges have decided that it is not constitutionally protected yet there is is at the top of the bill of rights. Sorry, bill of riots. Rioting is now the only protected speech.

Sadly, our overall mental health was already in really bad shape coming into this year. In 2019, it was being reported that “deaths of despair” in the United States had reached an all-time record high

50+ years of expanding liberalism. Liberals have said and done nothing in my lifetime be dispense negativity. They have maliciously wrecked lives to then feed on them.

They have passed numerous laws to prevent disturbed people from getting help (think homosexuality and transgenderism as examples). They have appointed huge numbers of judges to stop legal attempts to help people with mental/emotional problems. This nightmare has been in the making for a long time.

be dispense negativity=but dispense negativity

Romans 8:18

Whatever is happening now, believers can keep our eyes on the Lord and the promise of heaven.

[Obadiah]

Trump said this would happen, and yet Fauci is out there say idiotic stuff like, “We will never get back to normal” and “We should never shake hands again.”

Stuff like that is super dangerous. And then we have Woodward and Democrats bellyaching about Trump downplaying COVID.

[JustTheTruth]

I would be interested in sourced statistics about the number of attempted or actual suicides this year vs prior years. Does anyone have actual data?

[Roman_War_Criminal]

All sorts of charts and graphs here:

“people are considering suicide because of all the bad things that have happened this year”

A ludicrous assertion.

IF there is an increase, it’s because of mental illness.

[shanover]

There is too much **** happening at once.

That is the plan by the left. It's quite documented.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Have to disagree with you.
There’s been a lot of $hit happen this year that can easily make the rate go up.

Financial ruin, job loss, isolation, and hunger can cause people to quickly lose their hope and thus make horrific decisions. Maybe mental illness plays in with a few of those, but not all.
