[Jaybo]

Lost a custody battle for my daughter...she cried and cried. Her stepdad is abusive to her. My finances are gone. I have no motivation to run my business. Ex-wife has turned my son against me...hasnt spoke to me in months.This is a nightmare. I feel hopeless. What do you do when you cant ever function. I pay out more than I make for college and private school, childsupport, lawyers. I have no answers on how to even survive. I once was an affluent businessman...now Ive been jailed twice for being barely behind in child support. Never dreamed this would be my life. Sitting in jail with crack dealers. She wants to break me and has succeeded. Is there no justice in life?? God will not answer my prayers.....very depressed.

God will answer your prayers ............ you need to abase yourself before The Lord , and really argue with God about your predicament , I know prayer is a deep mystery , and so is life ........... but God does listen to well ordered arguements and persistant prayers even from those who don't even know Him ............ ask me how I know ....... I know.

Please read Jacob and his wrestling with God , and know that God reigns.

May God grant you an inner peace from your aweful circumstances.

I need to stop caring about my life and just take it one minute at a time who cares if I die without a job or family or friends I'll still go to heaven

I found this...

Many of the weaknesses can be remediated with specific types of therapy aimed at teaching social and pragmatic skills. Anxiety leading to significant rigidity can be also treated medically. Although it is harder, adults with Asperger's can have relationships, families, happy and productive lives.

Believe me, there is someone out there for you...& a job, friends, a life, etc. You just have to look. Don't try to hide your condition, make it known & give people an opportunity to learn about it so they can understand you & your behavior. Prayers.

For the past four and a half years I have had this horrible depression. Somedays I have to convince myslef to get out of bed in the morning, and others I feel perfectly fine.



I just feel sad, but I can't figure out why. The days I am depressed I cannot function, really...If somebody asks me a question, I don't even have the strength to reply, and everything feels a little hopeless. I don't have a lot of suicidal thoughts, but I feel like the world would be a better place without me, and if I were gone I wouldn't have to feel so sad anymore.



If anybody also has depression please let me know how I can deal with this...I haven't been to a doctor or anything, so hopefully I can do something about this.

Evie,

I read your post of Oct 24th and thought "that is exactly how I feel." You put it in much better words than I could, though.

Being lonely is a normal part of our everyday lives. We get sad when we fail in our exams, when we're rejected by the person we love, or when someone very close to us passes away. Depression, however, could be more fatal than just plain loneliness. It could render life-long consequences that could ruin your self-esteem, health, and well-being.

Here are some superb tips to conquer the melancholy mood and get the most bliss out of your daily activities.

1) Get Enough Light and Sunshine.
Lack of exposure to sunlight is responsible for the secretion of the hormone melatonin, which could trigger a dispirited mood and a lethargic condition.

Melatonin is only produced in the dark. It lowers the body temperature and makes you feel sluggish. If you are always cooped up in your room (with the curtains closed), it would be difficult to restrain yourself from staying in bed.

This is the reason why many people are suffering from depression much more often in winter than in the other seasons. It's because the nights are longer.

If you can't afford to get some sunshine, you can always lighten up your room with brighter lights. Have lunch outside the office. Take frequent walks instead of driving your car over short distances.

2) Get Busy. Get Inspired.
You'll be more likely to overcome any feeling of depression if you are too busy to notice it. Live a life full of inspired activities.

Do the things you love. If you're a little short on cash, you could engage in simple stuffs like taking a leisurely stroll in the park, playing sports, reading books, or engaging in any activity that you have passion for and would love to pursue.

Set a goal - a meaningful purpose in life. No matter how difficult or discouraging life can be, remain firm and have an unshakable belief that you are capable of doing anything you desire. With this kind of positive attitude, you will attain a cheerful disposition to beat the blues.

3) Take a Break.
I mean it. Listen to soothing music. Soak in a nice warm bath. Ask one of your close friends to massage you. Take a break from your stressful workload and spend the day just goofing around. In other words, have fun.

4) Eat Right and Stay Fit.
Avoid foods with lots of sugar, caffeine, or alcohol. Sugar and caffeine may give you a brief moment of energy; but they would later bring about anxiety , tension, and internal problems. Alcohol is a depressant. Many people would drink alcohol to "forget their problems." They're just aggravating their conditions in the process.

Exercising regularly is a vital depression buster because it allows your body to produce more endorphins than usual. Endorphins are sometimes called "the happy chemicals" because of their stress-reducing and happiness-inducing properties.

5) Get a Social Life.
No man is an island. Your circle of friends are there to give you moral support. Spending time and engaging in worthwhile activities with them could give you a very satisfying feeling. Nothing feels better than having group support.

Never underestimate the power of touch. Doesn't it feel so good when someone pats you on the back and gives you words of encouragement during your most challenging times? Hug or embrace someone today. You'll never know when you have saved another life.

Get intimate. Establish close ties with your family and friends. The love and care expressed by others could tremendously boost your immune system and fend off illnesses. Best of all, you'll live a more secured and happy life.
