what are you feeling right now? (23)

chaoticfirefly · Mar 9, 2016

I officially start at the cafe on the 19th. Currently waiting for my 3DS system to update so I can buy the game.

On that note, I spoke to a former classmate today whom dropped out and joined the army. You know that expensive 3D technology or whatever, they use to replace lost limbs? He's looking into that, since he lost a leg in combat.

I think I might be clinically depressed. I looked at the symptoms and I have every single one of them. The later into the day it gets, the worse my depression gets, especially before bedtime. I cried once today. I can't stop overthinking everything and it sucks.

The one thing i keep saying, and the one thing i know, is that there is hope for us. Christ gives our lives meaning and purpose, and Gods grace gives us so much hope. I once was stuck in a pit of depression, anxiety and fear, but i found strength in the Lord. It took me along time but i found it, and not only that but i grew in faith to the extant that im not longer worried about this world like i was.

Sure i still have problems, but im not longer bound to fear, anxiety and depression. Not that those things dont try to cause me to stumble sometimes, but i have found that the Lord is our shield and he is our strength and joy. Once we grow through our trials, we see a bigger picture than we did before. This scripture may sound dreary, but its not actually, it wonderful once we taste it for ourselves. We can all follow pauls example and find blessing in it. All things can work for good, if we choose to love God. Thats my opinion anyway.

2 Corinthians 4:8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Maybe im wrong here brother, i don't know. If i may make a suggestion though, i think you would do well if you didnt let those memories haunt you, and if you would just lay down and cry to God about it. I dont know if it would help you but it helps me. Dont let it burden you so much, give it to God. Cast all your cares on him, as Peter says. Cry to the Lord and let him carry it for you. Also, maybe it would be good if you meditated on a more simplistic way of looking at Christ, doctrine, and religion altogether. When things start to get out of control for me, i just cast out all the confusion and remember Galatians 5. We dont need to understand everything, all we need to do is concentrate on liberty and love.

Thanks for your words of advise however I think we might differ on how we understand things to be.

I do go to God with my pain, neither do I dwell on the past much, but that doesn't take the reality of my illness away, it is best to be on guard and know when the symptoms spell dangerous grounds. If I don't take care of my physical symptoms then I might go psychotic again, like I have so many times before, and be over run be the wicked and floored for years by the process of getting away from all of that again. They do enormous damage.

As for meditating on things, seldom do I meditate nowadays. However in my past life I was obsessed with God, theology and sociology and always tried to work out His truth and speculated on how things would be because I saw that the word didn't agree with the doctrines of men. It literally drove me nuts, for I couldn't stop thinking, my thoughts racing 24/7, always trying to understand and comprehend everything. That is how the false prophet got me so easy in the end analysis. Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 proved to be very true in my life.

However nowadays life is not like that. I know Him who saved me from my sins and has answered all my questions and has completely satisfied me knowing Him. Jesus encompasses all truth and satisfies my wisdom seeking self with His goodness whenever I need it. The trick is not to think too much (that is like standing in front of Jesus) but to write down or speak what I see Him saying to me through the word dwelling within me.

I really endorse the truth of the word here.

Proverbs 2
My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.

Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair—every good path.
For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.

Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
from men whose words are perverse,
who have left the straight paths
to walk in dark ways,
who delight in doing wrong
and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways.

Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
who has left the partner of her youth
and ignored the covenant she made before God.
Surely her house leads down to death
and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
None who go to her return
or attain the paths of life.

Thus you will walk in the ways of the good
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
For the upright will live in the land,
and the blameless will remain in it;
but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

If you think that you might have depression then I would go and visit a health professional as soon as possible and see if you can go on some medications to ease the onslaught. Medications are often the quickest way to get away from depression quickly, honestly do go and see a doctor.

Sowing positive and feelings in your heart and negating the negative ones (preferable with the word of God,) will safe guard you from developing depression in the future.

Be of good courage, you have a good chance getting better again.

I am also a poster child for depression; I can go down the depression checklist and answer "yes" to almost every point.

If you haven't sought medical help please do so. Quite often it is a chemical imbalance; a disease no different than diabetes or heart problems. Certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

There are lots of meds available. Most of us on this forum are prescribed something or other to help us cope. Problem is that for the doctor it's a crapshoot. Some meds are like a miracle for some but the same med may cause unwanted side effects or make things worse for others.

It's my personal opinion that being referred to a psychiatrist is best because they are more up on the proper meds available as well as being more able to determine if counseling would be a better option.

Staying close to the Lord is vital. The Spirit will comfort and guide you.

afternoon everyone, well our truck is stuck in the mud, we had another storm wave and wow me and my SO both had headaches so bad last night we just went to bed after unplugging our computers around 12 midnight. Each time I got up to use the restroom my head would pound and room would spin Im all ok back to bed slept hard due to took a sleep aid and tylenol n sinus meds to help a bit. So far today is ok we'll see how it goes. Just hope we can pull the truck out of the mud today. But not sure when it'll rain again either. This is so fun! not ! Blessings all

Glad you're doing better. Are you ready for the rain to quit? I sure am. Just lots of wet stuff and minor flooding here but the Longview/Kilgore area has sure had some problems.

We in South Texas are hoping all the rain from up your way does not flood the Guadalupe and cause flooding here. We have had a lot of rain also, but not like North Texas. Keep your feet dry.

I live in North Texas and yeah we've had rain for 3 days just about and on the 4th now, and windy like crazy. I love the rain and Lord knows we need it but goodness flooding and just disasters in some areas where people lost homes due to the storm. Things are doing better after an hour of crying last night I finally was able to get my emotions under control and made dinner n relaxed the rest of the evening. Today I so far have gathered up dishes left out from this morning and put them in dishdwasher after unloading it. My SO should be home around 3 or so cant wait to see him, miss him tons he stayed with a friend due to get to work this morning. Our truck is out of the mud but a neighbor will fix it for $300 since we have the part, just the labor we're paying. So that is a small blessing I can say I"m thankful for. Keeping feet dry is easy but sick of being couped up in the house all the time but its ok will deal as best I can. Sorry for the ramble just a lot on my mind. Blessings n hugs

This day started out kind of crappy. Cross words with the wife before she left for work. I was in a type of physical pain that suggested the possibility of a serious medical problem. I see a doc next week. Not sleeping well. Didn't want to get out of bed (but I did). :sigh:

I delivered meals to the sick and shut-ins as I do every 2nd Thursday of each month.

Please be patient, there's a lot to the story. Suffice to say that I decided to make a change in my usual routine for no apparent reason.

Later on I found out why; It was Spirit led. I was in the right place at the right time to provide prayer and aid to one of my clients who was very ill.

She was having a very hard time breathing & was using an oxygen tank. Had no way to get her inhaler refilled at the pharmacy; she was in no shape to drive. I said I would take her which gave me time to persuade her to visit the emergency clinic (she didn't want to go). I prayed with her & said she felt better but soon started becoming anxious again.

I left her @ the clinic and finished my delivery route, then went to the gym. I left her my number to call when she was ready to go home.

Finally got the call after 2 hours. They took X-rays of her lungs; her bronchial tubes were a mess. The gave her 5 allergy shots & did some other stuff. Turned out to be a severe asthma attack on an already compromised respiratory system.

She was doing so much better; I praised God. The medical staff was very concerned and said it was imperative she got help or she very likely would have died this morning.

I felt so blessed and humbled to be used in this way. Now I know why I arbitrarily changed up my usual routine. She wanted to pay me but I just laughed and said to consider it God's provision and He doesn't charge for it. :amen:

What a fantastic ending to a crappy start on a rainy day! Praise God!

I'm having a bit of a difficult day, but thank God it's almost over.

First, had a bit of an argument with mom over some sort of prepaid debit card that I've wanted to get. (Thank God we've made up post-argument)

Second, my laptop overheats (but thank God I even have a computer)

Third, The kid who mom is babysitting at the moment was being a pain in the you-know-what (but thank God that my mom is even working and earning decent money. I know some places where people work very hard, but barely make ends meet, who are praying for the amount of money in USD that she makes)

Fourth, my iPod Touch (5th gen) was somewhat misfunctioning (not functioning well, but thank God I even have something to listen to music on besides my laptop)

Finally, the nail in the coffin was that I was using the bathroom, and then I had to get out immediately because of the kid (he needed to use the bathroom, but thank God for a bathroom. There are people in this world who are praying to even have a place for privacy)

I am glad to see you affirming good things despite your multiple troubles. This is how we are over comers through the power of Christ; reigning in negative thoughts that tend to rob us of our joy and positive outlook.

The mind gets in such a rut, especially for those of us battling depression. We literally have to stop our thoughts from acting up, much like the rebellious child you mentioned.

You're doing okay; stay strong and stand against the enemy of our souls! :oldthumbsup:

That is so true loyal heaps of people have it far worse than us, we are the rich of this world, others suffer terribly - oh that we would never cease praying for those who are hurting, but we do, we get so court up with other issues - but it is good to pray for the hurting in this world and ask Jesus to come soon as He promised and have faith in the truth of God's word to know how we should go about things.

Still it is crappy when everything is against us. I used to think I was under a curse for I always coped it. Jesus can make us strong through hard times though, that much I learned, and that is important to survive.

what are you feeling right now? (23)
