Getting exhausted dealing with depression

[Macchiato]

So I struggle with intrusive thoughts that cause my depression ... I work, I passed my nursing entrance exam but..

I was in an accident, my car was totaled, I have no car and now it's hard getting my son to his therapy( he has autism) I was warned today he could be kicked out of therapy bc he's missed days ( I'm trying not to quit my job)

My daughter was kicked out of daycare bc I was behind on payments and she's regressed in potty training.

I only work part time and can't work much more bc I have to pick up my kids ect. K just feel my hands are tied. My ungrateful parents are back in my home ( my mom is on the lease so I just have to deal with 6 people and 2 dogs in a 1 bedroom. No one pays me any mind or listens to me. It's a mess constantly. My dad doesn't work. Lays on my couch which they now broke. )

I just feel a bit hopeless kind of. I feel I don't have what it takes to get through nursing school. I'll never finish. I feel like I'm failing as a mom. I feel ill never be much.. I don't feel like I'm enough. I just feel ill be in poverty forever..


I do therapy but she doesn't give me cbt work to do just meds. I'm nervous to try meds bc I feel like I shouldn't let depressive anxious thoughts overwhelm me but they do.

I will pray for you. A lot of people are depressed these days, cos the world has turned to individualism, and people no longer help each other, unless it brings them profit. I am gonna get a lot of flack for saying this, but we need to live in communes (or at least have the choice to live in one. I do not live in a commune). If your area has communes, that are not full of hippies, you might want to do some research into co-owned apartments.

Acts 2:44-47 (NIV): "All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."

The concept of co-habitation, where individuals live together in a shared community, can be seen as an extension of these biblical principles. A hybrid between private and communal living, such as Vienna's co-owned condominiums, can help create a balance between personal space and community connection. This model can positively impact society by fostering stronger relationships, reducing social isolation, and promoting sustainability through shared resources.

The potential impacts on mental health could include increased feelings of belonging, reduced stress, and improved overall well-being. By sharing resources and supporting one another, individuals in a communal living arrangement may experience less financial anxiety and more opportunities for social interaction and emotional support.

Lastly, Christians in the modern world can bestow community instead of individualism by practicing generosity, sharing resources, and forming intentional relationships with others. This can be done through volunteering, joining community organizations, or simply engaging in meaningful conversations with neighbors and friends. By focusing on the needs of others and putting community first, Christians can create a more compassionate and interconnected world.

I saw a sign in a window at a counseling place, it goes something like this: you are stronger than you know, smarter than you think and loved more than you ever thought possible.

My wife had todo the impossible for twelve to eighteen years and be a single mom for three kids. Work, churched, mom and dad. It’s not your fault it’s the dads fault.

Quick update: my son got discharge from his clinic bc my brother and mother couldn't be bothered to take him to school. It took me a year to get him in.

God gets us through the hard times! Psalm 23

 

[Solo81]

I was reading the life of a nun recently and she told of how Jesus taught her to deal with depression. When she noticed the cloud forming within her, Jesus told her to pray and repeat "Jesus, I love you" until it is removed.
Might be worth a try? It won't cost you anything.

What all did he tell her to do? I'll do it

What all did he tell her to do? I'll do it

That was all the advice He gave her regarding the subject. He said that depression is never His will for a person and that the enemy can use depression to devastating effect.

I don't think there's a magic cure. I try to thank God frequently for small blessings. But sometimes a whole lot of stupid situations pile on. I'm sorry for all the stuff you go through. Your parents aren't stable enough to take care of themselves.
