TEEN SUICIDE OUT OF CONTROL

Teen suicide is soaring. 

…The suicide rate for white children and teens between 10 and 17 was up 70% between 2006 and 2016, the latest data analysis available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although black children and teens kill themselves less often than white youth do, the rate of increase was higher — 77%. A study of pediatric hospitals released last May found admissions of patients ages 5 to 17 for suicidal thoughts and actions more than doubled from 2008 to 2015.

Seasonal Depression is a very real thing…


Seasonal Depression is a very real thing…

So are you suffering with depression ? Do you feel worse in the winter then the summer ? Do sunny days make you feel better and cloudy days make you feel worse ? Does the cold bring you down and warm weather make you feel better? Even wind can be a downer . If this makes your depression worse then your not alone...millions of people who are not dealing with depression feel down at these times so we can imagine how we feel in these season changes… Also suicide rates are the highest between Jan through March… If you live in parts of the world where this type of weather is common like cold and rain..well your depression is even higher.. People in Russia with the cold and long winters have very high rates of depression .. In the USA people in states like OR and WA also have very high rates of depression...some of those states because they are so rainy leave a bowl of chocolate on the kitchen table to help.. BTW dark chocolate is the best for depression ( mild) . So whats the up side as not everyone can move to a tropical Island.. well history tells us that great thinkers, writers, poets, musicians , song ,writers, painters, artist often come from cold, raining, cloud dark places..see these dark places draw out the deep inner person. Very few people are as deep in the sun as we in the dark.. So if your trapped in these dark seasonal places...well write a poem, a book, a song, pain, get into art work. Counsel people for only ones who know these dark places can help others in the same dark places.
From the ashes of disaster grow the roses of success and though the rain and storm clouds are in your life today… the sun ALWAYS rises. I pray that not only the Sun shines on you but that the Son lives in you. He gives light in the heart even when there is no sun in the sky…
