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.

At Star Point Counseling in Tampa Fl. & Brandon Fl. have seen a rise in alcohol consumption with our clients due to the pandemic. Some are experiencing Delirium Tremens.
A severe type of alcohol withdrawal is called delirium tremens (or DTs). It can occur anywhere from two to four days to up a week after you have your last drink. DTs might be more likely to happen if you are malnourished.

DT can be life-threatening: about one in 20 people who develop the condition die from it. If you or a loved one has symptoms of DT, seek immediate emergency medical care.

The symptoms of delirium tremens include:

Agitation
Confusion (which can be severe)
Dangerous changes in blood pressure
Excessive sweating
Fever
Hallucinations
Heart arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)
Rapid changes in mood
Seizures
Sensitivity to touch, light, and/or sound
Tremors
The symptoms of DT may get rapidly worse and can be fatal. A person with delirium tremens needs to be hospitalized until the symptoms can be controlled.

At Star Point Counseling Center in Tampa Fl. & Brandon Fl. we have experienced a higher call volume from people with alcohol withdrawal symptoms since the pandemic started. When you suddenly stop or cut back on drinking after chronic or prolonged use of alcohol, you might experience the physical and psychological symptoms of alcohol withdrawal.1 Depending on how long you have used alcohol and how much you typically drink, the severity of these symptoms can range from mild to severe.

Causes
Alcohol is a depressant, which means that it slows your brain.2 When a person drinks heavily, frequently, or for prolonged periods of time, their brain compensates for alcohol's depressant effects by releasing more stimulating chemicals (compared to when a person does not drink). Overproduction becomes the brain's new normal.

When a person stops drinking, their brain is still producing extra chemicals, which can potentially cause unpleasant alcohol withdrawal symptoms that are associated with overstimulation. The brain will readjust, but until it does, a person in withdrawal might feel unwell.

What to Expect From Alcohol Withdrawal

Symptoms
Not everyone who quits drinking alcohol experiences withdrawal symptoms, but many people who have been drinking for a long period of time, drink frequently, or drink heavily, will experience some withdrawal symptoms if they stop using alcohol suddenly.

There are several mild to moderate psychological and physical symptoms you might experience when you stop drinking.1

Psychological Symptoms
Anxiety

Bad dreams

Depression

Difficulty thinking clearly

Fatigue

Feeling jumpy or nervous

Irritability or becoming excited easily

Rapid emotional changes

Shakiness

Physical Symptoms
Clammy skin

Elevated blood pressure

Headache

Insomnia

Loss of appetite

Nausea and vomiting

Paleness

Rapid heart rate or palpitations

Sweating, especially the palms of your hands or your face

Tremor of your hands
