“Also, have a little compassion and don’t sound so belittling. There is help for people who have struggles and the belittling from others is what causes the stigmatization that prevents those who need help from getting it.”
I had no intention in my post of belittling anyone. I honestly do not understand what would drive someone to actually kill themselves particularly those who have families and young children. Did this television personality feel stigmatized and not seek help? I guess it may be something beyond psychological help; perhaps something induced chemically within the body’s systems.
Like I said, do some simple research. Almost every question can be answered on the web. And I am sure you might get some help from us Freepers if you ask nicely.
Its like living with bigotry but worse. The main problem is that we can’t see it, so we don’t know that there are billions of people with the same problems all around the world, and we can’t join together with someone who understands because we have to confess it first.
Besides the psychological and physical responses of our mind to stress, there are chemical imbalances, and what is not discussed much because we are an advanced scientific culture, we can also come under spiritual attack. All three fronts should be addressed. It can be daunting.
