It is very difficult to know how one will react under torture. If you accidentally drop a book on your foot, what are your first words? Mine would be: Ahhh! Ohhh! The Bible suggests that we should pray for those who persecute us. I suppose that some "place" in a torture process, we (at least...

You can find love in every stage of life even if you are 80. :) You tell that you call crisis line. Does that mean that you suffer from depression or another emotional disorder? If so, may be it's wise to get treatment for that. Try a Christian dating site and don't expect too much at once...

Hi "Ave Maria", it seems very wise that you plan for calling the crisis center if these thoughts enter your mind again! Since you are a catholic you also have the opportunity to confess your suicidal thoughts and get more of God's grace to strengthen you (which is the teaching of the catholic...

So do I. Thank you for your many advices! I usually do get out of bed at the same time each morning, thank God for the new day (and much more) + having a regular go to bed time. The problem I faced now, was that I have been physical sick for a very long time and that that long time...

Thanks, now I have different types of tea to choose among!

Thanks for the the advice! :)

That sounds wise. Do you know what types of tea that help with sleep?

My sleep-awake pattern. that is far from what I want it to be, makes it very difficult to make the changes I want to do for evening and morning routines. Can I ask for help in a Christian Forum .......? I don't know were else to go!!! :(:(:(

Please go and see our GP to be referred to a Psychologist or Psychiatrist for medication or talk-therapy or both. It might take some time before depression medication works. It also takes time to see the results of talk-theraphy. The best you can do to come closer to Jesus, now, is to pray...

Thanks for the advice! I had made good routines to be able to live a good life as possible with my depression. The point is that I lost them due to physical illness. The combination depression + physical illness is not a good one. Neither does it help with the dark in the winter. I did well...

I'm so sorry RuthD! I didn't mean to interfere with your relationship to the Lord. Of course I will respect that your relationship with Jesus is private!! When I said: "Hope you will feel some sort of relief from the guilt in your relationship with Jesus", I thought about your own saying...

Thank you, turkle! I really needed your post this day. I made it through the morning as I wanted, but later on I became so tired and had concentration problems. I started to become afraid of never being able to make this. Your post gave me a little hope. My plan is to first establish a good...

Yes, unfortunately it can cause a lot of guilt. Hope you will feel some sort of relief from the guilt in your relationship with Jesus! Sorry to hear that you have to struggle with OCD too! I'm going to do the dishes now as some sort of preparing for tomorrow when I have to get up early...

Blessings to all! :)

To all here, :) Greenleaves

Mine is to reestablish former routines lost due to illness, so that I will get more out of the life God has given me.

Hi and welcome, Samueldob, To me it seems that you suffer from depression. Other people might see a depressed person as one with a stiff mask (a rejecting person). Since most of us don't like to be rejected, they turn away from the depressed without understanding that they hurt the depressed...

Am already praying! :pray:

Sounds like you have found a way! :) I have heard people say that ruminating about past forgiven sins, is some sort of disbelief in God. Depression is a "nasty" illness, that robs us for much. Since you believe in God and his mercy (like me), it might perhaps be of help to remember that as a...

I gave you a general link about depression in my last post. It was from NIMH and I think it is informative. In addition to that, may be you need to read about how depression can eat up those with traumatic and stressful events in their luggage: PTSD & Trauma Help Guide - Helpguide.org Send...
