Breaking Point

Everyone has some event in their life where they lose control of a situation which is ending badly and out of desperate attempt to save something they hold dear, they snap.  There's a brief mental black-out where all that matters is that the anger and frustration leave your body or that the message is somehow gotten across another way because verbal expression doesn't seem to be getting anywhere anymore.  That's the point where kids look for guns in the closet,  things that aren't meant are said to an extreme, and where violence and suicide rear their ugly head.  


Something I've been seeing a lot lately is mental health issues and what society does about them.  Oh! We think we're so progressive considering some countries through the handicapped in a closet hidden from life.  Are we really that different? 


I truly hope someone out there in the world will read this blog tonight and absorb the message. Don't isolate someone for coming to a breaking point.  Isolating them only festers awful thoughts and feelings in someone who's already unstable.  I can't imagine what it's like to constantly feel friendless, anxious, sad, physical pain, blocked, scared, nervous, etc.  I can't imagine what it's like to see not only that something taken from me that I held so dear but also to what the ripple effect of my connected world disintegrating around me.  


If anyone you know has issues and is/isn't seeking help for it, please just be open to the idea that they may need you more than you need them.  They may need someone to just listen or be in their corner.
