When talking about childhood trauma and grief, clinicians have really been referring to this as a silent epidemic, and that’s because so many of the mental and behavioral health struggles that we see today are really rooted in traumas and losses. Trauma is the experience of a real or perceived threat to life or bodily injury to a loved one or to themselves, and this causes an overwhelming sense of terror, horror, helplessness and fear. Theses childhood traumas eventually become adult traumas, if they aren't addressed appropriately.
We know relationship challenges are most likely being a trigger for deaths or attempted suicides and self-injury. We continue the stressed need for schools, law enforcement agencies, families and youth to, collaboratively, reverse a spiral of depression, anxiety and other mental disorders that raise suicide risks, and self-harmful behaviors.
Emergency room visits for suicidal thoughts and self-injury are on the rise, with Black girls and LGBTQ youth experiencing record rates of self-injury and death by suicide. Treating self-injury might take time, but it is curable.

Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral physical and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. It is okay to ask for help.

2 Thessalonians 2:9–12

The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sort of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason, God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

Satan’s first move was to entice the women to doubt God’s Word, and his strategy was to ask by means of the snake, “Has God really said?” (Gen. 3:1). People have been falling for this deception ever since. When they hear one of God’s clear commands, they rationalize that it’s not really what He meant, or it doesn’t apply in their case. When temptation comes, don’t believe Satan’s lies! Sin always has repercussions. Satan is constantly seeking to fill our minds with destructive thoughts—whether fear, worry, insecurity, anxiety, temptation, envy, and others.

It’s too easy for him to manipulate his way into your mind. We've allowed lies to command others to accept our lie and life simply because we don’t think it’s a lie.
You can live your life and lie and accept lies, but can you leave me out of it? We all have to stand before the judgement seat of God. (I believe) I can extend grace to you (without judgement), for you to do you, can you extend the same grace to me, to do me?

They really don’t, its perception.

“Nice guys” do the following, they'll be just fine.

Practicing compassionate and honesty. Share your true feelings while maintaining kindness. This allows you to be both authentic and respectful. Embrace “No”, learn to decline requests that drain you, recognizing that saying no doesn’t diminish your love or care but helps preserve your energy and boundaries.

Regularly take time to reflect on whether your needs are being met and if you're compromising too much, re-evaluate you. Use collaborative conflict resolution. Instead of avoiding disagreements, work together with your mate to actively solve issues. This strengthens the relationship through teamwork rather than sidestepping problems.

Nice guys don’t have to finish last; they are actually first when they operate in truth and confidence. Do not allow insecurities to overwhelm you or discourage you. Ladies really do like nice guys – sometimes they be buggin!
Be encouraged and remain faithful.

When we grow up in chaotic or even dysfunctional families, we learn unspoken rules and messages. While necessary to the survival of a child within that family community, outside of that environment, these messages do not make sense and can even be harmful as they continue to revictimize trauma survivors.
5 of the most common unspoken messages that childhood trauma survivors carry into adulthood are:

1. You must forgive or even ignore bad behavior.
2. Relationships will be painful.
3. Trust is not guaranteed in relationships.
4. It’s your fault. Whatever it is.
5. It's not safe to turn to families for support.

It is important to remember that these messages were formed due to years of dysfunction, abuse, or mistreatment, and that they are not true. Doing the work to unlearn these harmful messages can be done through educating oneself to heal the hurt and trauma from years of lies and replace them with the truth.
