God bless you sister ♡ I hope things get better soon. Things can't stay like this forever.

One day all your suffering will be a distant memory and like a grain of sand compared to our life in eternity.

Rest in His shelter away from the chaos as much as possible and let Him lift you up and strengthen you.

Isaiah 40:28-31

There is a song I love about that verse. I'll add it.

When you say you're "blacking out", are you losing consciousness or finding that you are having memory lapses? Have you sought medical attention to make sure that there isn't some underlying cause for your symptoms other than stress?

I'm losing it and going mentally, well, distressed to put it respectfully.

all the posts and messages all over the 'net and in the news every day are setting me off

there is just too much going on, too many issues and too much triggering

I'm devolving into blacking out now, near daily, can cant remember what I even am doing and cant find my most basic things, like my phone and keys and yes, even my prayer shawl.

I cannot find anything even though I just had it.

I go nuts trying to find things, even though they should still be in the house as I've never left.

Sometimes I cannot remember what day it is or what I did today, even an hour ago.

I'm crying a lot and feeling a feeling of dread and doom.

My brain is melting.

I'm trying to deal with metoo and church too and divorce and all this reporting in the news and its just making me insane.

You should focus on your personal life and leave the rest of the stuff that "triggers" you alone. If you find yourself overwhelmed, try to give yourself a little bit of space from it and remember that you're ok....nothing is harming you

Even if you are dealing with trauma, make sure you are getting enough vitamin D. I was diagnosed with very low vitamin D at age 40 and the first symptom I exhibited was forgetting where I just put things to the point it was making me feel like I was losing my mind.

Low vitamin D is very common, and you might need to go to a doctor to get that tested.

You may need to talk to a doctor. Alcoholism is a source of blackouts and a factor in early onset dementia. Strokes caused memory loss. You might need to improve your diet to lower blood pressure. Early onset Alzheimer's is another cause of black outs. It is sometimes caused by genetics.

It's a weight we weren't meant to carry alone. One of the lessons is, as Isaiah 1 tells us twice, not to trust in man. Our ultimate trust is in the Lord, despite the failings of the church. Do what you can to help the Body of Christ, but never leave your position of rest and peace in Him and His completed work. As Php 4 says, it will be a protection for you.

HI if all that news on the net all those posts are setting you off; why are you even looking at them? You should turn of the internet and set your mind on the LORD. Jesus said I give you my peace not as the world gives. You are given the peace of Jesus is having eternity secured, your soul being saved with your sins removed is the greatest assurance you can have. This life is not the focus the goal it what is on the other side. So there is lots of distressing stuff going on so lets focus on the savior the redeemer and cast our cares on Him. The world is moving fast towards a prophetic destiny. We are not supposed to be afraid but bold in our faith.

I really like this -is this in the bible? It sounds familiar to me.

Thank you for the song too, its lovely

No I didn't quote the bible just put a link in. Hope you feel better

Can you only go online to talk with specific people? Or look at specific things. E.g. maybe when you come onto this forum, just go to the lighthearted/encouragement threads. Only open emails or messages from people you know will be supportive. If you can't discipline yourself to do this, then maybe it's better to avoid the internet completely for a few days or weeks until you are on a more even keel again. All this stuff will still be out there then, but sometimes we need a break from it for a while.

Do you have any trusted local believers you can ask to pray & share with? Keep casting your burden on the Lord and He WILL sustain you.

You need to seek medical help. Asap. Hope you find peace.

Therefore we do not lose heart, but even if our outer person is being destroyed, yet our inner person is being renewed day after day.
For our momentary light affliction is producing in us an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure and proportion,
because we are not looking at what is seen, but what is not seen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is not seen is eternal. -2Cor 4:16-18
