Well sask and every other province has more opoid deaths than covid. I consider that a form of suicide.

Everybody knows that this will be a major problem but it will not be talked about much. When you need to find opportunities to grow your business but don't socialize much good luck. From now on any socialization is totally illegal. You can't legally meet with your landlord right now. What frightens me the most is the psychopathic idiots that are using covid to feed their need to control and suppress others and there are a lot of them here in canuckistan. Just wait will the pogey starts drying up and the depression really get rolling.

It’s been a problem around here for quite a while already. I know a few personally that have gone that route and it’s horrible for the rest of the family. If anyone ever needs to talk just send me a message. There is alternatives.

Biggest issue around here lately is divorce. Just going over the list for Christmas calendars and the amount of “revisions” is way higher than normal.

Take care everybody 🍀

A 1% rise in unemployment means a 2% jump in suicides.

Lockdowns will have consequences unfortunately.

Will be just one of the spin-offs of this flu. Wearing these damn masks for too long will end up having long term effects as well. The shit storm that’s gonna hit next summer when people have no work and no money just to live is gonna be far worse. Then the crime explosion will be astronomical. Broke government equals helpless people.

Suicides I know:

A fairly recent immigrant, father of one, worked in the service industry.

A 40ish male nurse at the RA hospital in Edmonton. Wife was a psychiatric nurse.

One more, not sure if Covid related.

Since March.

I am a very small fish in this big pond. I am nobody, 30 miles out of the nearest town.

Ugh, army not needed.

Have heard it is becoming an issue and can understand and beleive it but you got to compare it to a baseline. Article says 17000 so far this year but the last annual total they list is 20,000 so not really much different. Same problem with everyone's argument they always try to make the numbers fit the headline.

Mental health gonna be rough for lots through the holidays I'm sure, hopefully it doesn't get out of control.

Just read tonight, In Japan, MORE suicides in 2020 then COVID attributed deaths!

Which is more of a tragedy?????

Mental health is like looking down the neighbors' well casing.
You can only listen, validate, and hopefully encourage.
The rest is up to them.
