Mortified Nation: An Alternative to Suicide?

I came in from the Hot Tub and blogging on my laptop out there on the redwood deck and backyard to find my wife and two daughters (18 and 25) watching "Mortified Nation" likely at Netflix or Amazon prime through our Roku puck on our 60 inch flatscreen. I wanted to make sure I shared it with all of you thinking it might save your life just like writing helped me stay alive between ages 10 and 15 (1958 to 1963) when I had childhood epilepsy and seriously considered suicide because I was so terrified from what I was experiencing then. Or when I was suicidal from breaking up with two girlfriends (one in 1966 in December and then another one in 1969. (both girls I loved enough to marry). So, when I lost both of them to circumstances beyond my control in addition to being asked to leave my childhood church because I was too progressive and 1960s for them it was too much for me. So, hopefully you will choose to stay alive too and laugh with the people at Mortified Nation as they reveal their most personal thoughts (usually about 20 years or more before right now) from their diaries.

In some ways what I'm doing at this site is to encourage people to share more of their problems (but not their addresses or full names or jobs or kids names) at their own Blog sites around the world. Doing this helps everyone find a way to stay alive by writing about their problems. 

Even if you don't have a therapist or counselor or anyone to talk to right now, writing about what is bothering you might just keep you alive by learning to understand yourself better. Because in the end who knows you better than you except maybe God? And then when you read stuff you wrote 10, 20, 30 years later you might say, "Oh my God! Is that what I thought then?" or you might laugh and be grateful you survived all that.

Also, sometimes I will write a rant about one thing or another and realize within a minute to 24 hours that many people will misunderstand it so I delete it in order to create more positive results in their lives. However, just writing what I write sometimes really heals me even if I write it and delete it immediately or leave it up for 24 hours or so. So, this site is not just good therapy for me it is also good therapy for you as well.

So, here's some stuff on Mortified Nation to either entertain you or heal you and likely both.
