Recession Blues

Before things get any better they are going to get a whole lot worse. Hotlines across the US are lighting up with callers who are distraught over the loss of their jobs, homes, and the uncertainty in the stock market. With all of the newly depressed the mental health agencies are starting to become overwhelmed with the number of people seeking help.

I find it more and more astounding they way people are coping with the recent economic conditions. In a story from newsday.com medical centers are starting to see more and more people coming in for treatment of alcohol abuse and intentional overdoses. More people are looking “overwhelmed and suicidal, because of the economy.”

My thoughts are this matter is in life we all go through something. Sometimes the situation gets to a point where it breaks you down to where you think you cannot make it and this is what many folks are experiencing with our country’s current economic situation. Some how people have to know that things will be all right. I know losing your job and feeling like you will never be secure again is a hard and depressing issue but some way people have to know things are going to workout!
