I copied and pasted this from a friends page.

My reasons are personal about this...maybe if people's heads weren't buried in the sand of ignorance and they took the time to understand, instead of judging and thinking it won't happen to them because they have the perfect family, life would be a little bit easier for people that do experience this! This hits close to home for me, for family and friends who live under this shadow. The days of 'it' not being talked about or being taboo should be over. In the most difficult moments of life you realize who your true friends are, and the people who really appreciate you. Unfortunately, most social media 'friends' aren't true friends. They will send you a "like" here and there, but in reality, they do not take time to read your status if they see it's lengthy. More than half will stop reading right here, or have already scrolled on to the next post on their page. I decided to post this message in support of all those who continue to battle with their mental illness. (Su***de is at an all-time high). Now, let's see who will have taken the time to read this lengthy post right through to the end. If you have read everything so far, please "like" it so that I can put a thank you on your page. More mental health awareness is urgently needed. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean people aren't suffering. Please, try to spare a little of your time with someone who may just want to talk (about anything). Talking can help us all to cope a little more, keeping things bottled up just makes it worse. Most people will say, "if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me, I'll be there to help you" but will they? I believe a select few of my friends will post this, to show their support for those who may be struggling. You just have to copy and paste rather than sharing. I'd like to know who will take a minute out of their day to read this all the way to the end and then copy and paste it to their page, will you? If so, please write "done" in the comments. Thank you!🙏🏽 ❤️🤗

Marriage counseling at Star Point Counseling Center in Brandon Fl. & Tampa Fl. can help. Generally, distressed couples recognize that they have gotten caught up in negative interaction patterns and want to improve their communication and connection. I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) which works to address the negative patterns rather than the original difference or argument. Shifting the patterns of interaction leads to long term relief and improvement in relationship satisfaction.

EFT uses the concepts of attachment theory to help couples understand where distress in relationships originates. Distress results from the perceived threat to basic adult needs for safety, security and closeness in intimate relationships. EFT helps couples to de-escalate, slow things down, and start to feel, think, and communicate to their partner what is really going on below the surface, to help them connect in a powerful way. This results in a stronger bond between the couple, and an increased ability to feel safe and secure, communicate, and solve problems more easily.

Is marriage counseling a good option for me? Many people consider getting counseling when they go through difficult times, such as a severe health problem, experience anxiety or depression, or even when adjusting to normal life transitions like the birth or death of a family member. Some research suggests that most people go to counseling to discuss their concerns with their relationships. Marriage counseling can be helpful when couples are experiencing difficult marital problems.

Marriage problems come in all shapes and sizes; they range from feeling a little stuck or stale in the relationship and wanting to tune things up to more intensive problems that may be threatening the marriage. The most common reasons that couples consider marriage counseling are: infidelity, alcohol and drug abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, mental health problems, constant arguing, sexual difficulties, not agreeing over family finances, working too much, division of household chores, blended family issues, chronic health problems, poor communication skills, and loss of romantic feelings.
