WHY PEOPLE GIVE UP ON LIFE -YOU CAN FIND HELP

Talk to Somebody

"When someone is alone with his problem, then he usually sees it as disproportionately large and as unsolvable,"  says Bela Buda, the Hungarian health official quoted earlier.  This observation underscores the wisdom of the ancient proverb in the Bible: "One isolating himself will seek his own selfish longing; against all practical wisdom  he will break forth." -Proverbs 18:1. 

Listen to those wise word. Do not allow yourself to flounder alone in a sea of  overwhelming  personal problems.  Seek out someone you can trust and in whom you can  confide. 'But,' you may say, 'I don't have anyone to confide  in.' According to mental-health professional. Dr. Naoki Sato, many feel that way.  Sato noted that patients may avoid confiding in others because they do not want to reveal their weaknesses.

Where can a person turn for a hearing ear? In many places he or she can enlist the help of a suicide prevention center or a crisis hot line or find a reputable medical doctor who deals with emotional problems. But some experts also recognize another source of help-religion. How can that help?
