Did you finally get something to eat?

Yes, most yummy chicken!

I've been dealing with terrible anxiety over the past several months. Some days it has felt like I was going to explode.

The only thing that helped for me was to pray persistently that the Lord would change my heart, and focus on Him. I needed to pull Him back under me as my foundation; I was on sinking sand.

when you are feeling moody..... change your music to something more uplifting, I listen to upbeat christian music when I am depressed or anxious and it helps center my thoughts away from drifting to dark thoughts.

Listening to upbeat music when I'm depressed makes me want to put a hole in the wall

And of course, the Lord has put someone special right in my path. He knows what He is doing!

sounds like you are wanting to feed the depression somehow..... or punishing yourself?

Hey, Ariella

Maybe I am....I don't know.

I had a lot of difficulty getting things from my head into my heart. My heart had become quite hard. I prayed for weeks that the Lord would break my heart open. It is very difficult for us to have an intimate relationship with the Lord when we don't have the capacity to let Him in.

I didn't discover my issues until circumstances in my life caused me to totally freak out. I realized that if the Lord was my solid foundation, I wouldn't have freaked out so badly!

Maybe I am....I don't know.

I have found myself at times in two different types of depression, one that is self created and one that is sort of inflicted upon me.
The self created one I drag myself into sometimes because I want to pity myself and get self absorbed, while the inflicted one comes usually when I am not feeling well or things get out of control when I am not on the ball.

Yes! Keep your focus on Him and make Him first in your life

Hello Ari!

 

[FriendsFellowship]

Yes! Keep your focus on Him and make Him first in your life

Amen! For years I thought my foundation had been solid on the Lord. I've been a pastor for over 7 years. No one was more surprised than I was when I crumbled! The Lord has been refining me! It's His restoration power that we need!

I think I may be dealing with a mixture of both right now.

I know at times my flesh wants to be depressed sometimes but realize that it is a spiraling problem my normal nature doesn't bode well to be depressed for long.
