"27 straight days of rain? How do you handle it? How far you have to go inland to get away from it?"

Interestingly, most suicides here happen in the summer when its sunny, not in the winter.

"Then again, Doyon was shy, a loner living a largely reclusive life that even colleagues of two decades knew little about. She almost never went to parties. She didn't go to staff meetings at the radio station. Colleagues couldn't say what neighborhood she lived in, or if she had a love interest."


I suspect this woman suffered from what I experienced for several years which was Fight or Flight Syndrome. In case you don't know, F or F is a normal, physiological condition that people go into when they are confronted with danger. When confronted with danger, people begin to breath heavily and its that act of breathing hard which brings on F or F. However, there are times when people either through genetics or through a series of bad events suddenly begin to breathe more heavily than normal. Its then that people can experience F or F on a regular basis as well as other diseases like asthma, rhinitis, CHVS, Lyme's desease etc. I know I was one of them.

For several years I suffered from it and saw suicide as the only way out. Fortunately, I lucked out and found a breathing technique that helped me to reduce my breathing which pushed me out of the Syndrome as a by product. I think a lot of people suffer from the Syndrome esp. those who are not diagnosed with bipolar or some of the other officially recognized pyschological illnesses.

I see these people all the time now. There is a guy across the alley who is home most of the time or least whenever I am home. He's probably in his late 20's/early 30s. He's a virtual recluse. Like most of these people, he works out of his home.......I think during the middle of the nite. Probably few people who know him know much about him.

Every so often he goes out but its fairly rare. Like I used to feel, I am sure he only feels safe when he is home. People like him know something is wrong and know that they are different but they don't know what it is. Its worse if these people were born that way......they have no clue what is normal. At least I experienced normal before I went into F or F. Its been a long haul but my life is started to be like it was before I was in F or F. I just wish the word was out.

For that reason, I've really considered writing a book.........to let other people know what's up.
