I feel so depressed, hopeless, and fatigued. There's so much evil, injustice, supression of information, greed, corruption etc. As for my home life, it's very chaotic - a small house with 2 crazy, loud little brothers and no one to talk to. I also think about the devastating effects of living in an oxygen-deficient city, malnourishment, electromagnetic frequencies from (refrigerators, computers, TV, microwaves etc.), artificial light, pesticides in the air and on the food etc. Also the emotional tolls of my parents separation at the age of 6, having no one to talk to, feeling a lack of faith and conviction, having my dad spray toxic cleaning products all over the kitchen and house, feeling insecure and afraid, unavoidable, unpredicatble, and prolonged stress, light, and noise in this house. That's all I could think of off the top of my head, it's weighing pretty heavily on me. All of sudden, I just collapsed on my bed in desperation and fatigue. one more thing, I have no curtains, and I get to bed late, so the light comes in through the window each morning and wakes me without getting good sleep. Please pray for me, give me advice whatever you think will help me, please , thanx

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Will say a prayer for you 
Try reading Psalm 37 it might be of some comfort
for substitute curtains try finding an old sheet, or light blanket to hang over your window.

I'll pray for you.
Is there anyone at your school or church that you could talk to about the way you're feeling? Sometimes talking REALLY helps.

a long journey ahead
take heart, for the Lord will one day return and make everything new, but even now, He's renewing us through the blood of Christ.
um... feeling lonely? how about going out with some friends? or take the initiative to invite people out. I'll be praying.

This too shall pass.
Try getting some form of exercise every day, even if it's just walking. Try to do one thing constructive every day like take out the trash. That's pretty easy. Get to bed at a decent hour and don't sleep more than you need, 11 or 12 hours at a time is too much. Eat healthy. This helps out a lot. really.

I pray that God gives you some avenues to help release his blessings into your life.
You have 7 days that you could fill with Godly living, here is what I suggest. I also am seeking and doing these things, they work for everyone, you just have to work them.
Goto church every chance you get (sunday twice, wed, youth night0, bible study night, prayer group night, then have 2 or 3 nights of "Christian" fellowship.
Church and groups are more work, fun work, but work. Now fellowship is play time which is also important to help build good Christian friends.
Do stuff like hang out, watch movies, play games, goto the pool or beach, go for drives, put awesome worship music on and sing together or just listen.
If fear comes on you to try and stop you from going, realize that is the devil and pray to God. "Submitt yourself to God, and resist the devil and he shall flee" James. Over time the fear will be non existant.
This will give God oppertunitys in your life to bless you.

You need to get plugged into a Church fellowship somewhere. The Bible says one can send 1000 to flight, but 2 can send 10,000 to flight. In other words, God never intended for us to be able to make it on our own. We need to be joined together with other christians to get the strength we need to live the life of victory as an overcomer.
Jesus did not die just to restore us to a right relationship with the father, but also to restore out relationships with one another. Also, we can have the mind of Christ and the divine thoughts of God. There is no depression with God, when we have the Holy Spirit working in us, then we have the Love, Joy and the Peace of The Holy Spirit at work in us.
Mind battles can be difficult to overcome. But we can have victory in Jesus. Everything Jesus had, when He walked this earth is available to us. We can have the same good health He had.
Your mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters are in the Church. They are your family now. We can not allow our natural family to hinder us in any way. We need to go on with God, even if we have to leave them behind.
God has a wonderful plan and a wonderful future for all of us. He promises to cause all things to work out for the best, for them that love Him and are called according to His purpose. He tells us that no weapon formed against us can prosper. There is nothing that can harm us in any way, if we walk with God and allow Him to shelter and protect us. God is good in every way, and every intent of His heart toward us is love, life, health and healing. He has good plans and a good future for us. He want to prosper us and bring about a good result in every area.

Alive in Christ...when I battled depression, my doctor said" ok, I'm going to give you something to help...BUT...first, get out in the SUN. Sunlight does so much for a persons state of mind...and second...GO TO CHURCH! "
To this day, I still go out and just sit in the sun. If I'm having a bad day, I go out and sit in the sun.It always improves my spirits, and you can talk to God while you sit out there, and it'll be even better. And remember the blessings in our lives, no matter how small, always outweigh the bad things. the little things add up so much!
I'm praying for you Alive!

God fills a man with joy when he worhips God! Have you thanked the Lord lately for what you have? When's the last time you focused on God and who He is and just sang your heart out to Him?
"Come unto me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." -Matthew 11:28
Dude I know what it's like to be lonely (you can read some of my posts elsewhere cause I struggle with that a lot plus we're the same age so I feel ya on what's goin on in your life right now). It's just of upmost inportance that you focus on the goodness of God. Job 1:21 is a really good verse I have figured out. VERY helpful when dealing with many types of problems. But the main point of this post is advice for you.... worship God. Find a Christian radio station/CD/choir at church, or just any song you can think of. Get alone (Matthew 6:6) just you and God.... and just sing your heart out to Him. If you have to, be a man and cry. "Jesus wept." But let nothing hold you back from expressing yourself to God. In my opinion, the best CD for this is Micheal W. Smith's Worship album. Man that is awesome! With songs like "Forever"(forever God is faithful!), "Breathe"(this is the air I breathe), "Let it rain", and the one that goes "You're all I want! You're all I've ever needed" MAN that is powerful stuff let me tell ya! The tried and true method of feeling joyful... but the key point, focus on God! May God be with you and bless you!
