Same reason as why mass shootings have exploded. Widespread use of antidepressants and SSRI drugs, combined with militant atheism and perversion.
If only Hellary had won.
The Good Lord cleansing the planet?
The usual: No religion, no children and no grandchildren = No hope for the future and no prayer of success (literally), no comfort, all pornography/drugs/surface dating/casual sex/work/sports only lifestyles, all commercial products and appearance of success (not actual success), ...
Darwin succeeds!
When abortion/gay marriage/lesbian relationships, divorced relationships (over and over again) with no stigma of failure are PRAISED - instead of countered or condemned by the culture, then the “Natural drive to perpetuate the species (the person)” is warped mentally into an endless “I have failed” depression.
And those who succumb to that depression are right. They have failed in the one drive that every OTHER life on earth intends. Except today’s liberal culture of death.
Anti depressants. Abortion culture. Day care and the abandonment that takes.
Snowflake expectations crashing into real world realities, and psychoactive prescription drugs.
It all traces back to the schools. We lost the schools a hundred years ago and are paying the price now.
The mid-life crisis is intensified from use of potency enhancing drugs? Suicide on steroids?
But now faith, hope, love, abide these three;
but the greatest of these is love.
What happens when Faith whithers
What happens when Hope dies
What happens when Love grows cold?
The answers to this are all around
What is seen in society now is a catastrophic failure of primary Virtues,
Gratitude, Humility, Prudence, Fortitude, Courage, Justice,
Temperance, Chastity, Charity, Patience, Kindness...
Secular humanism.
There is no God, there is no common fabric of the Universe, QED there is no point to existence.
Being “good” is a choice, not an imperative. Live or die, it makes no difference.
Dang. I am bumming MYSELF out. Thank God He exists and reminds me daily of His miracles, starting with my wife, my family and then going on the the beautiful and delicate Japanese elm in front of my door (in Texas mind you) and the majestic Oak in my back door.
People who do not see God and His wonders and love in the significant and pedestrian rob themselves of life and love.
No wonder they end what they see as meaningless.
coupled with massive inflation of everything else (from self esteem to relationships to material goods and healthcare)
During those years, older white men were villified. Detesting them was considered legitimate. They were especially vilified if in rural areas. If they had been blue collar, their employment was often gone, and economic hope with it. Large numbers of thrifty retirees saw their income plummet as government bond returns fell through the floor. An enormous amount of wealth was transferred from those investing in government bonds to those investing in the stock market. Many saw an insurance premium as a way to save family members or the family business or farm. Many veterans despaired with the odious attacks on the military by the Obama administration.
I expect the numbers of suicides to go down with the Trump presidency, which gives men hope that they are not forgotten, gives veterans an idea they are appreciated, and which has brought back employment and rational policy to the United States.
Hopelessness is making the suicide rate rise. Satan is keeping people in hopeless nonbelief.
No nuclear family, so no emotional foundation, no feeling of stability. no confidence of love existing in life. People bouncing off the proverbial walls feeling disconnected from everything and everyone. JMHO.
“Why is America’s Suicide Rate Skyrocketing?”
Hope it’s because of Trump.
I’ve heard the uptick is since 2016. Best day ever was 11/8/2016. Is there a connection? I wonder if these people are Democrats. (I’ll say no more.)
White genocide.
A terrific and informative read. Thank you.
Same reason as the spike in PTSD. Everyone under 30 is a wimp.
