121 soldiers committed Suicide in 2007 2008-01-31 18:57:00 This is one of the main reasons I wrote my book PTSD: Pathways Through the Secret DoorWASHINGTON (AP) -- Multiple new efforts aimed at stemming suicides in the Army are falling short of their goal: The service anticipates another jump in the annual number of soldiers who killed themselves or tried to, including in the Iraq and Afghanistan war zones.As many as 121 soldiers committed suicide in 2007, an increase of some 20 percent over 2006, according to preliminary figures released Thursday.The number who tried to commit suicide or injured themselves for some other reason jumped six-fold in the last several years - from 350 in 2002 to about 2,100 incidents last year. Officials said an unknown portion of that increase was likely due to use of a new electronic tracking system that is more tho Read more:Suicide

Data sought on veterans' suicide 2007-12-12 19:28:00 By KIMBERLY HEFLING, Associated Press Writer The parents of an Iraq war veteran who committed suicide and members of Congress on Wednesday questioned why there's not a comprehensive tracking system of suicide among Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.Mike Bowman, of Forreston, Ill., said his son, Spc. Timothy Bowman, 23, is a member of the "unknown fallen" not counted in statistics. His son, a member of the Illinois National Guard, took his own life in 2005 eight months after returning from war. Bowman said he considers his son a "KBA" — killed because of action."If the veteran suicide rate is not classified as an epidemic that needs immediate and drastic attention, then the American fighting soldier needs someone in Washington who thinks it is," Bowman said.Bowman was one of several witnesses

Failure to communicate… 2007-12-02 09:24:00 Failure to communicate…by Timothy KendrickThis was one of my biggest faults in my entire existence on this earth. For many years I did not listen to anything except what I wanted to hear. My mouth overrode my, er, uh ass on more than one occasion.I did not realize at the time that the greatest key to success was the Art of Listening. Years later I would hear Steven Covey say “work diligently to understand than to be understood”Looking back and to this moment, every successful relationship I have is because of my ability to listen. Get my family together and they are the biggest bunch of talkers I have ever heard. The only one who listens is my Step-Dad. My mom jokes sometimes that I am the only one who made any money out of speaking. The truth is, it is from listening that

Commit Suicide
Each WeekBy Penny Coleman, AlterNetPosted on November 26, 2007, Printed on November 26, 2007 this year, using the clout that only major broadcast networks seem capable of mustering, CBS News contacted the governments of all 50 states requesting their official records of death by suicide going back 12 years. They heard back from 45 of the 50. From the mountains of gathered information, they sifted out the suicides of those Americans who had served in the armed forces. What they discovered is that in 2005 alone -- and remember, this is just in 45 states -- there were at least 6,256 veteran suicides, 120 every week for a year and an average of 17 every day.As the widow of a Vietnam vet who killed himself after coming home, and as the author of a book for which I in
VA Fact Sheet on PTSD 2007-10-14 19:44:00 VA Fact Sheet on PTSD: How is PTSD Measured?How can one tell if distress after a personal tragedy is a normal reaction to an upsetting life experience or something more serious?It can be difficult to know whether distress is a normal reaction or a symptom of something more serious. Even experts may require the results of a detailed evaluation to answer this question. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is only one of many possible reactions to a traumatic experience. After a trauma, some people become anxious, some become depressed, and many find that they are not able to deal with their responsibilities as well as they had before the trauma. Although the majority of people are distressed for a while, over a period of a few weeks to a few months, most find that their upset lessens and the
Fear And The Subconscious 2007-10-04 20:55:00 Fear can seem very real. It is our perceived value of fear that helps or hurts us while finding solutions to our daily challenges and problems. I believe that discourage is the opposite of courage. However, fear can cripple you to a point of not even moving or taking any action because of the unknown. Fear can take on a life of its own. In combat, the Fear is indescribable. What are we afraid of, fear of failure? Some of the great inventors and leaders of this world have failed before they found the solution they were looking for. Failing is not Failure, giving up is failure. Are we afraid of success? I had to dig deep on this one because all of the unhealthy input I allowed put in my mind throughout the years. A poverty consciousness is very real. My solution for fear is
