WHY IS SUICIDE CASE INCREASE SO RAPIDLY?

Yes, nowadays suicide is increasing so rapidly because everyone is taking care of their mental health.

A good healthy body not only consists of good physical health it also comprises mental health also.

We go to the hospital when we are sick and we take medicine to cure it.

But u feel mentally low or your self-esteem gets low you don’t care it as much.

This leads to the starting problem of depression, anxiety and stress which leads to stress-related disorder and attempt the suicide.

Due to technology development there, is a lack of communication between people.

Nowadays everybody is busy with their own works so that communication among family member is also decreasing.

More the technology had developed, mobile had been a part of our life.

So that there is no face to face communication and interaction between family members and friends.

The trend today follow is expressing our sadness and reactions to WhatsApp status, Instagram stories and tweets.

So that we forgot what is the real meaning of expressing our moods.

When you feel happy you upload a status, when you feel sad you upload a status.

So that you only share those things to show that you are happy not that you are really happy or not.

Whatever you chat through WhatsApp will not be equal to sharing your feelings by seeing your friends face.

Even though you chat face to face conversation will not equal to it.

Even though we have many friend and loveable family we sometimes feel shy to share the thoughts and feelings of us.

When there is a lack in communication we automatically start to dump all our feeling sorrows into our mind, that causes depression loneliness stress and lead to suicidal attempts.

People who attempt suicide have various reason to end up their life.

It’s not like students, people with job insecurities, family problems, fear of meeting up family expectation, love failure, parents pressure, everything that they feel that they are not able to handle the situation and move on to next part of life.

There is a misunderstanding that people who are weak and people who are discouraged attempt suicide.

But it is not like that people who attempt suicide have the courage of ending up their life on their own.

They feel that life is that’s all and they are not able to survive hereafter.

People who attempt suicide are not able to accept their failures in their life.

First, we have to understand one thing life is a mixture of both success and failures.

We celebrate our success in the same way we have to accept the failure, experience it and move on.

As we all heard FAILURE IS THE STEPPING STONE OF SUCCESS.

All the failures we face help us to learn and experience new things.

We may have a target of one goal or aim which does not succeed.

But remember that we have another special destiny to reach.

Every failure teaches you sculpts you to make a step on next.

It makes you stronger and wisdom for your success.

We all have to develop the quality of celebrating failures as we celebrate for success.

Remember one thing every failure teaches a lesson which helps you to make a stronger move for your success.

SO CELEBRATE FAILURES AS YOU CELEBRATE SUCCESS.
