Feeling really worried.

[Tayloralexandra]

Hey guys,

Just thought I would write so I could get some support. Even though I feel bad for writing how I feel, if that make's sense? I always feel like I'm moaning, so I'm so if I annoy anybody (or I'm just being paranoid).

I just feel so alone right now, it's mainly night time's I get down due to I come home to my flat on my own and left alone with my thoughts. It's just hard, one minute i'm down, next minute im paranoid, then I start hallucinating or just feel out of touch with reality, there isn't even an inbetween at the moment. I feel like im slipping away again, im scared of losing god again, even though I know I love him and he love's all of us, it just hard to see when your brain is full of all these thoughts.

Praying for you right now. Praying that God will give you the strength to help you through this. I'm glad you are reaching out for support - this is really important!!

God's word is like a sword - you can use it to defend yourself. Psalm 91 is wonderful for this. And also Psalm 27 - here's a small part of it:

'For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in HIs pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me: He shall set me up upon a rock.

And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me. Therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

Hear, O Lord when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When You said seek my face, my heard said unto thee, Thy face Lord will I seek.'

 

[LottyH]

Do you have one of those Gideon's bibles where at the beginning it lists where to find help (i.e. bible verses) when you are feeling sad, worried etc?

I wonder if it might help to establish some goals and then from those goals establish a routine...

For example (& this is just an example... )

1. Physical: exercise 10 minutes before I shower - so I look & feel great!
2. Intellectual: Study Italy - for my trip there some day!
3. Emotional: Pay attention to what I tell myself in my thoughts, & be nicer, so I feel better about being me.
4. Spiritual: Make a list of my favorite scriptures & meditate for 10 minutes on one, so I feel more connected to God/Love.
5. Practical: Clean up or improve one area of my home for 1/2 hour, so it's a nourishing sanctuary.
6. Social: Reach out to somebody every day - call, write a note, say hi to stranger, so I remember we're all a family - children of God.

I hope you feel better soon!

 

[LottyH]

For in the time of trouble He shall hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock.
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

Psalm 27: 5,10

Dealing with Stress - How do Christians Deal with Stress?

Here are some tips on how to deal with anxiety. Basically, try reading your Bible, praising his name through song (even if you can't sing well), and praying. I'm sure if you browse online you can find more resources.

i know this reply is a little late but i have to give you some encouragement. I suffer from severe depression and something happened a day or two ago I had this amazing realization and I want to share it with you. I hope you can receive it. I too dread "losing" touch with reality & not knowing how far off I've went but i suddenly understood that the fear is causing anxiety which is causing more problems. I took a good look at God (the one to whom I have begged for relief) and said to myself "you know if you really believe in this God you love so much, why don't you believe He can keep you by His power no matter what mental state you're in?". Well, let me tell you. I was able to let go and I hope you can understand what I'm telling you here. If God wants to heal me He can but for now His grace will have to be sufficient. I don't want to suffer & struggle. I can't HANG on in my head. God created my brain and if it's defective with chemical imbalance or something, then His grace can be sufficient to keep me by His power. I suggest praying, especially when you first wake up and give it all to Him. If you catch yourself starting to get scared, just ask Jesus to give you rest and His peace and give everything , especially your fear, to him. You might lose God in your thoughts, but He won't lose you and He'll get you back again. Relax and let God be God.,

I'll be praying for you. PM me if you want. God bless.

Go read the words to amazing grace and tell me what you think. You need to realize you arent alone Jesus Is right there. Start talking to Him like friend and family. When you feel alone and you talk to Him. Your feelings of being alone will diminish. Try it and see what happens.
