SUICIDAL FEELINGS
Very few sensitive souls have not felt suicidal at a moment or two in their lives. This world is filled with incidents and accidents that give tremors to our hearts. For all of us, there are times when it just seems too much, or we get too tired and fed up, or someone betrays and hurts us to a point of no return. It is at that exact moment that we must call upon our higher selves in order to get through. What strength we cannot find within ourselves, we must seek outside of ourselves, such as angels, ancient masters, religion, workshops, therapy, books, films or anything that we feel can feed our spiritual and emotional hunger.
There are many different emotions that stir a sense of deep despair. Because suicide is so on the rise, we felt that we would be doing an injustice not to give some promising suggestions. We do not have THE answer but we do care enough to try and share some of the things that have worked for ourselves and others. However, getting professional help is more often than not necessary, whether that be a counselor, therapist or groups. Also, today, there are many web sites offering assistance under the title of Suicide. Reach out and when you do, know that one day, someone may be reaching out to you.
"According to studies conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), more than one in twelve drug-related hospital emergency room visits by adolescents was a suicide attempt." ~ Nancy Schimelpfening, The Depression Guide (see the article here)
Testimonials
“I was abandoned as a child and felt that I must not be worth much if I could be abandoned. So I lived my life, not caring whether I lived or died. I surrounded myself with people who felt as I did and I let bad things happen. However, I went for help and it was through that help that I found Onionhead. I now realize that all this anger I thought I felt was really sadness and grief. Through Onionhead Cards and Dictionary, I learned how to channel my feelings appropriately. As a result, my life has changed completely. I am surrounded by good people who do good things. Actually, I found out that my passion is to rescue abandoned animals, which I now do. Thank you, Onionhead, for helping me to get to know myself and turning my life around.” ~ N.H.
“I have felt suicidal most of my life and I am near 60. I am a very sensitive person and I found this world just too difficult. However, ten years ago, I found a higher power within myself. I then knew that I am in this world to change and transform it. Now problems just seem like opportunities to help myself or another. I view everything from a different perspective. I want to thank you for the Universal Truth Cards. I do them every day and they help me to realize my purpose on a day to day basis. Now my life has so much meaning. With gratitude” ~ B.B.

Nelson Mandela spent 26 years in prison for trying to free his people in South Africa from slavery. He never lost hope and truly believed that he would indeed free his people. In 1994 Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as the first Black President of South Africa. "Dreams can become a reality" ~ Nelson Mandela |
Mahatma Gandhi spent years being imprisoned for taking a stand against the British government. He only wanted freedom for his country, India. He never lost hope, he never gave up. In l948 India was freed from British rule. “Strength does not come from physical capacity: it comes from an indomitable will.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi |
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our Light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
who am I to be brilliant gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are NOT to be!
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us … it is in every one of us.
And, as we let our own Light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
~ Marianne Williamson
