Personally I have been going through years of exhausting harassment. The enemy never
tires. Im a Christian so I would never commit suicide but I get into deep funks at times
and suicide crosses my mind. I know that its because I dont understand whats going on in
my life alot of times. People can be very confusing when they want something. I get
extremely frustrated and my hormones dont help. I had a bad episode recently due to
menopause and harassment. Im a widow now and the harassment continues. I have 4
grandsons and I plead the blood of Jesus over them constantly. Something always seems
to happen to those who love me or are on my side.
Anyway, its sad when someone gets to the point of committing suicide because the root is
a lack of direction or maybe harassment and the inability to move forward and get on with
their lives. Opression can make a wise person insane. I hope I helped a little bit. Kim
