LISTENING = THE BEST SUICIDE PREVENTION

A Mindful Good Morning to you!

Debbie & Dr. Heath here. Our area of expertise is ‘neuromechanics' (e.g., neuroscience, neuropsychology, forensic psychology).

September is Suicide Awareness Month. All month we’ve been sharing mindful facts about suicide prevention.

No one really wants to kill themselves. Self-Harm behaviors originate from distorted thoughts & a desire to avoid non-preferred events, situations, and circumstances.

Asking someone if they are having thoughts of self-harm is the most loving, caring thing you can do.

Many people are afraid to ask because they think by asking they will give the person the idea to do so. This is not true. Someone having thoughts of suicide has been thinking about it already.

Ask questions, listen to what they have to say, & help them challenge Automatic, Negative Thoughts (A.N.T.s).

Listening to understand, not JUST to respond, promotes healthy relationships AND can save a life.

If you are having thoughts of suicide, text “HOME” to 741741

-OR-

Call 988 to talk to a crisis counselor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

So these past few weeks have been interesting. We moved all the way across country and starting brand new in a whole new state... again. I like having new adventures but this is pretty insane. I have been having a lot of panic attacks to where I can't even breathe or move. These have been so bad I almost went to the emergency room because I never had panic attacks like this. I have been feeling lonely and I miss my family so much. I am used to moving around but I never been this far from everyone.

I know if I wanted to continue my marriage with my husband, then I was going to have to take this step to make things work. Our relationship is not bad but we do have trust issues and being so far away from each other was not helping. I used to get the worst anxiety being away from him because he was such a comfort blanket to me. Now I have to learn how to live with him again. It's not bad at all just different. I was so used to my niece and nephew around me, talking to me about their day and packing all the kids lunches for school. Things are different now.

This new chapter I have entered in my life is such a huge change and mostly challenging. I have to make all new friends and live in a new environment. My kids will also be doing this as well, I feel bad because I have moved them around so much that I feel like a bad parent for not just settling down in one place so they can be kids. I know that they will not have an issue with making friends and they already love the house we live in, as do I. My daughters are so happy that they get to see their dad on a regular basis again. He has also expressed how much he missed them and im not going to lie, having him around to help me out with the kids is nice because I was doing this by myself for such a long time. a little help is actually pretty nice.

Trying to keep myself together during this time has been tough but I know in the end it is going to work out for the best. I know that this will change my life as well as my kids for the best. Just learning to be in a ..... active marriage, I would say, is going to be the real challenge. I know my husband is happy his family is together again but what wonder is, is he happy that im present back into his life as his wife? That's my biggest question that is constantly running through my head 24/7.

Making Your Military Move: Neighborhoods Near Military Stations!

The DMV area is home to several major military bases – Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines – with many on-base housing options. However, for those families who choose to live off-base, there are loads of alternatives. Here’s a brief overview of some of the areas that surround Andrews Airforce Base, Fort Belvoir, and Fort Meade.

And when it is time to relocate, CENTURY 21 Redwood Realty has more than 150 military-certified relocation agents who can help you buy, sell or rent. Not only will these professionals guide you through the entire process, they know how to help you get the most financial gain from your move.

Joint Base Andrews spans over 4,000 acres in Prince George’s County, Md., and has an on-base residential property population of approximately 2,600 people.

Greater Upper Marlboro

Located in Prince George’s County, Greater Upper Marlboro (the county seat) has a population of around 20,000 people, but the census divides the area into several smaller designated places. The median home value is $376,400.

This area is a mix of urban and rural. The town itself is small and quaint. Family entertainment includes:

Watkins Regional Park with an authentic, hand-carved and restored turn-of-the-century carousel, miniature train ride, putt-putt golf, a playground, and camping;

Six Flags America (nearby), a theme park with more than 100 rides, games, shows, and attractions;

Montpelier Farms, a working farm featuring activities, festivals, and a farm market.

Clinton

With a population of 38,760 at the time of the 2020 census, Clinton is home to the Surratt House Museum, a Maryland-National Capital Park, and Planning Commission facility. Built in 1852 as a middle-class farmhouse, its interesting ties to John Wilkes Booth make it doubly worth a tour.

Oxon Hill

Named for a colonial 18th-century manor home overlooking the Potomac River, Oxon Hill had a population of 18,791 at the time of the 2020 census. The original manor house burned down, but a large neo-Georgian-style home was built in its place in 1929 and is owned by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and is used for special events.

Oxon Hill is also the location of the National Harbor development, a large mixed-use community with residential units, hotel rooms, retail space, upscale dining, and entertainment. The MGM National Harbor Resort Casino is located at the entrance of this development.

Oxon Hill’s family fun includes the Oxon Cove Farm educational facility and the Henson Creek hiker-biker trail.

Other attractions in nearby Fort Washington include:

Rosecroft Raceway (“the Raceway by the Beltway”) which offers harness horse racing;

The Henson Creek Golf Course;

The Tucker Road Athletic Complex with swimming and ice skating.

Fort Belvoir is located in Fairfax County, Va., halfway between Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Va., making it ideal for tourists who are interested in history as it is close to national parks, museums, monuments, and more. For those who work at Fort Belvoir but choose to live off base, Burke, Lorton, and Alexandria are popular choices.

Burke and Lorton, Va.

The 2020 census lists Lorton as having a population of 19,844. The median home value at that time was $463,767.

Burke’s 2020 census shows a population of 42,806. The median home value in Burke is $537,032.

The Lorton VRE station is served by the VRE Fredericksburg Line which runs between the city of Fredericksburg to the south and Washington’s Union Station to the north.

The Lorton Amtrack station is the northern terminal for Amtrak’s Auto Train which runs between this station and the Sanford station in Sanford, Florida.

Special attractions include the 218-acre Burke Lake and Lorton’s Workhouse Arts Center (a former prison!) which provides 300 performances, 12 gallery spaces, hundreds of classes, and several large-scale community events.

Alexandria

According to the 2020 census, Alexandria’s population was 160,146 — the sixth largest city in Virginia. The median home value at that time was $545,000.

Historic Alexandria is perfect for those who appreciate the arts, culture, outdoor activities, and entertainment.

Nearby George Washington’s Mount Vernon is the most visited historic home in the U.S., but there are also so many other historic sites here, as well as an abundance of restaurants, wineries, breweries, entertainment, and cultural events.

Located between Washington and Baltimore, Fort Meade is located in Anne Arundel County, Md. Surrounding neighborhoods include the communities of Odenton, Laurel, and Columbia.

Odenton

According to the 2020 census, Odenton’s population was 42,947. The median home value at that time was $337,700.

Odenton’s school system is ranked above average, and Bowie State University and Anne Arundel Community College are both nearby. Odenton offers natural entertainment in the form of parks. The Patuxent Research Refuge is nearby and offers fishing, wildlife observation, hiking, and biking.

Because Odenton is located just 19 miles from Baltimore and 15 miles from Annapolis, there’s also great proximity to historic sites, diverse dining venues and entertainment, but Odenton also has four main shopping centers as well as an ice rink, golf center, go-kart raceway, athletic club, and more. The Odenton MARC station makes this a great place for commuters to live.

Laurel

Located in northern Prince George’s County, Laurel’s population was reported as 42,947 in 2020 and the median home value was $337,700.

The City of Laurel’s Department of Parks and Recreation maintains more than 200 acres of parkland (19 park sites) which includes playgrounds, pavilions, athletic fields, trails, tennis courts, pools, basketball courts, and more.

A couple of unique highlights located in Laurel include:

The Maryland Jockey Club, known for world-class Thoroughbred horse racing.

Dinosaur Park, a fenced area where visitors can join paleontologists in searching for early Cretaceous (145 to 66 million years ago) fossils.

Columbia

At the time of the 2020 census, Columbia’s population was 104,681. The median home price was $385,900.

Located in Howard County, this planned community opened in 1967 and consists of 10 self-contained villages that were designed to enhance its residents’ quality of life in terms of human values (attempting to eliminate racial, religious and class segregation), rather than economics, and engineering.

Lakes Kittamaqundi and Centennial offer boating and fishing. The Rocky Gorge Reservoir offers hiking, horseback riding, and fishing.

The public schools are rated highly, and Columbia consistently earns a spot in Money Magazine’s “Best Places to Live in the U.S.” list, ranking first place in 2016.

If you’re in the military and it’s time to move, it’s important to find an agent who not only knows the neighborhoods around each military station, but according to CENTURY 21 Redwood Realty’s Director of Relocation Services, Tina Bodolosky, it’s also advantageous to work with a real estate professional who is trained specifically to help members of the military.

The Military Relocation Professional (MRP) certification program educates REALTORS® about working with service members and their families as well as veterans to find housing solutions that best suit their needs. They can also help you take full advantage of available benefits and support.

One such benefit, says Tina: “We offer cash back programs of up to $8,000 when you buy or sell a home through our Navy Federal Realty Plus or Military Rewards programs and utilize one of our background checked and military relocation certified agents.”

Memories of the way it used to be, nostalgia, grief and heartache is what these families live with, adjusting to a new way of life forced upon them because war has stolen from them something that they will never get back. War changes a lot of things and we all pay the consequences of war, but never as much as a military family does. We forget that, we need to remember it, remember these families who have sacrificed way too much as the cost of war has been more than they wanted to or could pay. Their family life is altered forever in ways we can’t even begin to imagine.

RE-THINKING SUICIDE

Thinking of self-harm is the most lethal form of TUNNEL VISION.

Doc Heath here; your Friendly Neighborhood Neuromechanic!

Those thinking about suicide can become BLIND to all other options. It’s like looking at a map - being blind to NORTH, EAST, WEST - and seeing only SOUTH.

This is UNDER-THINKING as it ignores ALL OTHER options and pathways.

The next time you are thinking you don’t belong or shouldn’t exist or would be better off dead, look at your life as being at the center of a large compass. Yes, there is downhill (SOUTH) but that’s not the ONLY possible direction.

THINKING about your own thinking (meta-cognition), & CHALLENGING your own thinking, can save YOUR life and save those who care for you from INCREDIBLE depths of grief and pain. Some of these people you may not even KNOW.

We FIRST engineer our thoughts, THEN our thoughts engineer our lives.

If YOU are having thoughts of suicide, text “HOME” to: 741741

Or

Dial 988 to talk to a crisis counselor 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week.

Family Matters

Well today marks our 10 day countdown. I feel like time is now going by faster each day. It's starting to hit that i'm leaving everyone that I love to be with my husband. I know when he signed up for the military that I would have a probability of being relocated somewhere far away. Now that it is happening almost a year later, i'm nervous. I know for our little family it is what is best.

I have been far from certain family before and that has brought me closer to them but this time I will be away from everyone and that scares me. I know that I will be happy because I will get my family family back together but I can't help but think about how lonely it will be without the rest of my family around.

Today I was with some of my sisters neighbors, they have been somewhat around some of the things that have been happening in this past year of my life. I told them today that I was leaving in about a week and a half. They were all so supportive but also sad to see us depart from this neighborhood where our kids have grown close and we all created such an awesome bond.

As im looking at everyone sitting in this circle as we all have different conversations amongst each other, I realize that I will not get this again until I come to visit. I am so grateful to have met such amazing people here. Everyone is just amazing. I then think how much older I have gotten and how much I have matured because I finally have people around meh age who only want the best for me and meh kids.

My kids are excited about leaving and it hasn't hit them that they are leaving the rest of their family. I want them to understand that they are leaving for a long time and it will be harder to communicate because of the time difference. Since they are kids, they really don't understand that it will be a long time before we get to be around them again.

My husband is telling me everything is going to be fine, but of course knowing me, I always find something to stress over. Not because I want to but because I have worries. I know that all he wants is his family back and I completely understand. This is the moment have been waiting for since he left for bootcamp almost a year ago. I know when I get there I will miss my family so much but I will also be happy because I can finally have my best friend and soul mate back in my life again.

Either way I am trying to look at the bright side of things and stay positive, which is something I am not use to. I want everything to work itself out and keep my faith but also not have too much hope because I don't want to let myself down holding such high expectations. Knowing that everything is going to workout the best it can will be enough for me. Seeing my kids being with their Dad again is also something I can't wait for since they haven't seen him in so long. I hope everyone had a great Sunday!!!

Love always,

One Nervous Mommy
