Attempted Suicide Horrors
I was looking for Suicide articles and ran across this one. Its crazy, for those of you who feel the need to end your life (and I used to be one of you), please think twice before acting on it. It might not go exactly the way you plan.
Attempted Suicide Horrors
by Kevin Caruso
The vast majority of people who attempt suicide do not actually die by suicide.
(Let me emphatically remind you that it is never okay to die by suicide or attempt suicide. Never.)
So please let me share with you some of the horrors of people who have attempted suicide, and were left in bad shape because of their attempt.
Amber jumped off of a cliff. She lived, but broke her back (and many other bones). And now she is paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair. She lives with her mother.
Martin shot himself in the head with a revolver. He survived, but suffered extensive brain damage. He is in a care facility.
Steven tried to hang himself. He survived, but suffered extensive brain damage. His mother and father now care for him.
Donna thought that taking an overdose of pills would be a peaceful and surefire way to end her life. She took the overdose, but she did not die. Her mother found her lying unconscious on the floor. Donna lapsed into a coma. She eventually came out of her coma, but suffered internal organ damage and brain damage. She is in a care facility.
James shot himself in the abdomen. He did not die, but he suffered massive injuries and lost a kidney.
Elizabeth jumped from a bridge. She landed on a rock and broke her back (and many other bones). She survived, but is paralyzed from the neck down and is in a care facility.
Charles cut his wrists. He survived but severed a tendon and damaged several nerves in his left arm. He has never regained full use of his left hand.
Roger thought a shotgun would blow his head clean off so he would die instantly. He placed the back of the gun on the ground and pulled the trigger. He lived. The gun moved as he was pulling the trigger and his brain was not touched, but the tremendous muzzle blast destroyed his face--everything just below his eyes was gone, including his mouth, chin, nose, and cheeks. After innumerable surgeries, Roger still lives with horrible disfigurement.
And, unfortunately, there are many, many more sad stories like these.
Suicide is a very, very, very serious thing. It is never okay to die by suicide. And for many people who attempt suicide, the result is a paralyzed or disfigured body, or permanent brain damage.
Please don't be one of those people.
Please get help.
You really need to understand the consequences of a suicide attempt.
And all of the consequences are horrible.
Instead of reaching for an instrument to harm yourself, reach for your phone.
Call 911 or 1-800-SUICIDE and get the help that you need.
Take care.
And remember, people care for you, and people want to help you.
Don't harm yourself. Don't ever, under any circumstances, harm yourself.
You are awesome! And don't forget it.
Our inner Dreams

Dreams, so magical, so scary at times....filled with emotions and thoughts of all sorts.
As many of us already know, the rules of reality and logic do not apply in the mad world of dreams, as they most often do in our waking life.
As defined by Wikipedia: "Dreams are a series of images, ideas, emotion, and sensation occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history."
The scientific study of dreams is known as oneirology.
Well, by studying oneirology, I should gain a better understanding of my dreams and therefore also gain a better perspective on my own life.
So join me on this quest of figuring out my life through my dreams, and tune in next week for more information on Recurring Dreams.
P.S: Please comment on anything you'd like, it will help me in delivering the information that YOU would like to read about.
Have a Great week !!!

2012
Could it really be the end of the world?
According to the Mayan Prophecies, Earth and her inhabitants are currently traveling through the 13th baktun cycle - the final period of 1618-2012 AD, the cycle known at "the triumph of materialism" and "the transformation of matter." According to the Mayan predictions this time will be a time of "great forgetting" in which we drift far from our sense of oneness with nature. Humanities ego and domination has grown significantly.
So what will happen to us?
Well there really isn't a single concrete answer to that question. Anything can happen from cataclysm to enlightenment, world war to world peace, massive earth changes and physical destruction, to massive spiritual awakening to our inherent oneness.
The only thing we can do is wait for something to happen!
The old world is ending and a new one is soon to begin.
This is really interesting me now, tune in next week after I've researched it more. I'll get the whole 411 to you by Monday of next week (not tomorrow, next week).
Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
