He often broke his Shabbat vows in small ways, and did not chastise himself for it—for he was sensible of the difference between duty that is dreaded, and duty that comes from love; he believed in the acuity of his own perception, and felt that whenever he broke the rules, he broke them for reasons that were right.

Anxiety attacks aren’t always hyperventilating and rocking back and forth

Anxiety attacks can take different forms, such as:

Unpredictable bouts of rage or irritability

Nit-pickiness (obsessive behavior, which may be a part of OCD), and even a hypersensitivity to disarray, chaos, or any sort of change

Fast-talking, stuttering, stumbling over words

Not talking at all

Sitting rigid, staring into space, almost seeming “zoned out”

Understanding the way our or other’s anxiety works can help to decrease the stigma and help to calm a person faster and get them out of that state. These are just a few, but it gives an idea of the range in which attacks can come.

Dwelling on past bad decisions you’ve made only allows those decisions to keep defining you. Forgive yourself and move on.

Research and statistics say that every 13 minutes somebody commit suicide. Can you imagine every 13 seconds somebody somewhere in the United States take their own life. What could promote such a death toll? I’ll tell you. Demons. They will have you believing their lies. Telling you life is too hard. Your bills are due. Your husband cheated on you. Your loved one died. So go ahead and end it all. Demons will tell you death is the best solution. Death bring no more suffering and pain. But that is incorrect. Death is only the beginning. It is a sin to kill yourself. Sin lead to a place of greater suffering and pain. Hell is real. Every 13 minutes the spirit of suicide claim another soul. Let us pray for those that battle with suicidal thoughts. God can heal that hurt and pain that push people to commit suicide.

my sister-in-law, who has no kids and does not spend time around children ever, decided she wanted to take my kids on an “outing” yesterday. (she sees them like 4 times a year usually). she took them to some weird historical u.s. military fort museum thing, it’s like a big compound with like 15 buildings enclosed by a fence. anyway my 5-yr-old saw one of those red metal fire alarm boxes on the wall and asked his aunt “what does that say?”

now the correct answer to this question, in my opinion, would be “that is a fire alarm. we only touch fire alarms if there is a fire. if there is a fire, you would pull the handle and it would make a very loud noise so that other people know to get out of the building.”

according to several reliable sources, my sister-in-law’s answer to the question was, “it says ‘pull.’”

so anyway that’s how they managed to evacuate all 15 buildings at the museum and why this is probably their last “outing” for a while.
