I am so defeated right now.
Please, I am begging for you prayers.

Mental illness was always a part of my life. Even as far back as first grade it was apparent... My inability to socialize with the other children resulted in a repeat of the grade. Little did I, or my family, know that it would progress to the point it's at today.

Freshmen year of high school my anxiety disorders and depression went through the roof. I left school to be home schooled. The next four years of my life were alone in a room...literally. Just recently I graduated and am battling over six mental illnesses. I'm losing.

I don't know if I can ever recover from the point I've gotten to. Despite four years of visiting both a therapist and psychiatrist things have gotten nothing but worse. Medications do nothing but give me side effects.

I just can't keep living like this. Taking my life is constantly on my mind. Suicide isn't an option because of the effects it would have on my family...but it's so tempting because of my constant failures to get better. Losing my faith in God has been equally crippling. I am currently trying to accept Jesus as my savior and put trust into him that he will make things right.

Please pray for me, that I find strength, and, most importantly, find Jesus.
I'd appreciate it so much if you could include me in your prayers. I really need it.

Much love,
Sam:sigh:

Another important thing for u and all mental disease person is, stop blaming yourself, stop beating up yourself, stop trying too hard.
Just relax, and let it be.....accept the situation, accept yourself.
relax and smile and just do whatever u need.......slowly things will change itself.

If u blame and beat up and try too hard, will only make things worse.

Love and accept yourself just as the lord will always accept and love u . do it.
