Dear Jane,
How can I forgive myself and my husband?s family when our faults contributed to the death of my son (to suicide)? I was fearful that my son would commit suicide. Because of this, in your view, did I get what I thought? (I guess I already know the answer, which is yes, but in a roundabout way – through not speaking my mind because I was afraid of being rejected/abandoned.) I am angry and resentful at family members for growing marijuana for profit/greed. (They are not poor). My son started out with marijuana. I forgive them intellectually but cannot as yet emotionally. Do you suggest discussing my feelings with them or let it be. I have had advice both ways.

I guess it’s time to write this. If you are entertaining, considering or just wondering about suicide, this is for you. There is nothing real to escape. The only thing that we want to get away from is what’s inside our heads. There is nothing inside our heads that is not imaginary. With that in mind there is nothing we need to escape from. I’m sure it makes a lot less sense to run from an imaginary world than a real world. The real world is only the solidified imagination. It can be dissolved and reformed by that which caused it in the first place. There no permanent thing anywhere. No permanent society, no permanent people, no permanent earth, ideas, laws, importance, religion or for that matter, even imaginary ideas. With this in place the world changes from life sucks to this little impermanent picture sucks.

By David Riffey
On May 1st 2008, so called DC Madam Deborah Jean Palfrey was found hanging in a utility shed at her mother?s mobile home in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Two suicide notes were found.

As a Certified Handwriting Analyst, my training experience includes examining writing found on suicide notes. The normal suicide note reveals personality traits that are emotional dynamics of a suicide state. Depression, low self esteem, moodiness, and impulsiveness disclose a person who may act in a self destructive manor. Full Story »
Recent surveys say 88% of Americans believe adultery is wrong. Yet 77% of marriages involve at least one adultery. As sad as this dichotomy is, it gets worse. 96% of those surveyed profess a belief in God. 70% are active church members, and 77% of those believe they are going to heaven. How can this be? How can people who believe in God, who know adultery is wrong, still believe they are going to spend eternity with their Savior regardless of their disobedient behavior?

One of the greatest, but too often unspoken, dangers of teen drug use and addiction is the high risk of suicide that tends to accompany it. Teens who use drugs regularly are more likely to consider suicide as well as to act upon their thoughts. According to the American Psychiatric Association, many teens suffer from depression. In many cases, teens will often “self-medicate” with drugs in order to avoid exposing themselves and their problems to adults. The use of drugs does not alleviate the problems, but instead, usually aggravate them, leaving the teen with a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness. This places them at greater risk for suicide attempts. Drug use and dependency clouds judgment, and lowers the teen’s natural survival instinct. Full Story »
When you go through a break up you have so many mixed emotions, especially if you were the one who got dumped, because you are still in love and you don’t know what you are going to do without him in your life. You probably feel desperate and are trying to figure out how to get him back after a break up.
As women when we get into a relationship we tend to fall hard and fast. We give our all to the man we love. We lose sight of ourselves and become an extension of him. Everything we do starts to revolve around him and we become clingy and insecure. Full Story »
