    Depression

    Kristen, I am here for you. I have had depression since I was a child in 8th Grade. I have had it on and off. I believe that it was from my childhood experiences growing up. My mom was emotionally abusive to me. My depression was never diagnosed until a year ago, because I never told anyone...

    The death of a child..YOUR PRAYS ARE NEEDED!

    My heart and prayers go out to that family. I will be praying for them.:pray: I had a miscarriage 6 years ago, and went into a deep depression. :cry: I was only 4 months along, but it was so sad. :( With time, I felt better. But, it took a long time. I hope her other baby survived. That...

    Mandy, What a beautiful name that is! Ok, here is the latest update. My daughter likes the earrings now, and doesn't want to take them out. (Which makes me feel a whole lot better.) Like I mentioned before; I notice every little thing to. I am a perfectionist; and sometimes that is my...

    Hi Gel.. Thanks for responding to my thread. Here is the update. My daughter woke up this morning happy. Especially, when her two friends came to the door this morning to walk with her to the bus stop. They both had earrings in their ears. I think it made her feel a lot better. Here is my...

    Yeah, I am beginning to realize that I have some pretty special friends here too. I love this Forum. Jesus is flowing through this board. God Bless all of you! Please pray for me. I hope Jesus tells me what the right thing to do is. I would like to hear more people's personal stories about...

    The Moderator merged this thread over on the Prayers and Advice Forum. If you go over there, you get the whole story on what is going on. There is about 30 posts on this thread. I talk about my depression and anxiety problems, and I would like if you read it, and gave me any advice. Thanks...

    Thank you for those kind words Auntie Belle Um. That is one of the hang- ups I have about myself. I literally remember things I did in High School that I am ashamed of today! I still can not forgive myself.. I am VERY hard on myself, and I don't forgive myself... I wish I could, but I can't...

    What type of counselor? Should I go to my Priest? If so, how do I ask for help about this? Should I go to a Psychologist or Psychiatrist? Or just a regular counselor? Vow, I am sorry to hear about your Mother. Thank you so much for your support. It is just unbearable to feel like this. Hope

    Badfish, I am not on medication at this time. I tried Paxil last year, and got afraid, because after using it for 3 weeks, my brain started to spin, and I got real hyper, and it was hard to concentrate. So I decided not to take it. But, I probably should try a different medication. I will...

    It's good to know that someone else went through the same thing I am. Did you feel like me? Sometimes I don't know what is wrong with myself. My daughter is sleeping now, but what if she wakes up and decides that she wants to keep her earrings in? Now, here is my other dilema. One of the...

    Yes, I agree with you. I need some help. I am just "afraid" to go to conseling. But, it is hard to control these anxiety attacks. Plus, I get depression attacks. I find it hard for me to make a decision on important things. That has always been a fault of mine. You don't know how good it...
