By the time you finish reading this, two or three people would have committed suicide. In fact, according to WHO, every 40 seconds, someone commits suicide, and close to 800,000 people die by suicide each year. These stats are alarming. There are a lot of people out there who are desperate and tethering on the edge of life, not sure whether they should stick around or not.

Suicidal thoughts are not spontaneous; a lot of symptoms serve as potential warning signs for suicide.

The symptoms include the following:

#1 Excessive sadness and moodiness

#2 Withdrawal

#3 Hopelessness

#4 Dangerous or self-harmful behavior

#5 Talking about suicide

#6 Shame

#7 Sleep problems

#8 Recent trauma or life crisis

Even though I am not in your shoes right now, you need to keep on swinging because life has its ups and downs. You need to stick around because tomorrow is full of possibilities. You might feel like the only way out of your pain is to stop your pulse, but this is just a fantasy. Swallowing those pills, or firing that gun will only result in more pain.

Give yourself a chance to hope, to dream, and to love because you deserve it. If you stick around, you will be able to love, grow, find your calling, and feel gratitude once again. The best thing is sharing your problems and finding a solution to them.

Whenever you feel like giving up, remember the reason you held on for so long. Life is worth living. Give it a chance!

Addiction is Seductive

Addiction is Seductive

Addiction is a battle that many lose to over and over again. The good news is….even though you may lose the battles, you can win the war.

One big challenge with addictive behaviors is that people mainly recognize only drugs and alcohol as the culprits. Today sex addiction is becoming more of an issue in relationships.

An article published on foxnews.com highlights the sex addiction of a former NFL football player Mike Caussin. His sex addiction has caused marital issues between him and wife Jana Kramer. Within the article the couple mention a few pointers to shed light about how to overcome sex addiction within a marriage.

This is what happens when you don’t face your addiction.

#1 Shame On You!

Most people don’t seek help for addictions because it will cause shame and embarrassment. The true shame of addiction occurs when you don’t admit you have an issue and when you don’t seek the treatment you need.

#2 A Rocky Family.

Active and continuous addictive behaviors when left untreated will cause family instability. Addiction doesn’t just affect the prime participant, it has adverse emotional and physical effects on all family members.

#3 You lose.

Addictive behaviors cause you to become ineffective in significant areas of your life. When you fail to properly address the issues of addiction your lifestyle goes down. You lose financial, material, relationships, careers, family and most importantly you lose YOURSELF.

Everybody knows somebody. Battles with addiction should not be faced alone.
