How are you feeling?

[HannahBanana]

I'm hating myself right now. See my post entitled "I just keep trying and failing" to learn why.

 

[HVNbound07]

I

 feel like I constantly try to please and help everyone around me, and when I need help, nobody ever seems to care.[/

I feel this way too! Specially about my children (20, 17 & 13) they demand so much but give nothing back, do nothing to help me!

All my life I've heard "what goes around comes around" or "do unto others as you would have them do unto you!" Sometimes I feel like those words are a joke, all that comes back to me is-----not how I treat others!

Feel stupid being in love with someone I know is not capable of loving me back. I always fall in love then I ended up hurting myself. Sometimes I feel it's a curse, but why would i even think that, maybe I wasn't born to have someone because I am better without.

heya sister,

I know the feeling. That desire to just have someone there to hold close. Ultimately I have to accept that I can have that relationship, just I not found the right person.

After my first break up, I learned how powerful and dangerous love emotion can be. It is like a super powered magnet that won't shut down at times. Tearing at the heart strings. I developed 2 ideas on how to not give this emotion to wrong person.

I have locked my heart and keep the keyes in a safe place. When I meet someone who is intrested, I don't hand my heart over to them. When I do that I am being desparate and open to horrible emotional damage. That person has to earn my keyes, if they want my heart. I only plan on giving the keyes when I know I married her in my heart. Otherwise I will fall into the same pitfall I did with my ex girlfriend. Just is not worth it. Also I still have rational thought availible to so make good decissions.

Other is being careful about how I think about a potiential girl and romantic thoughts. We all know the crush is precurser to love. I try not to let that girl into my thoughts. When thinking about something I wish I could do or music that get my emotions stirring. Love makes one stupid really, because all one wants is that one desire.

Hope this helps. Hang in there and realize what an awesome person you are.

down. not real sad, just very mute and down. I know they say medication takes awhile to fully kick in, but sometimes I feel like i'm never going to get out of this. I am generally an easy-going happy person, but I can't remember what it's like to feel joy.

Right now I don't feel that awesome. I'm at a loss, the moving and everything, I feel so away from what Ihad before in my old place.

True, be patient with yourself. Most likely take some to adjust. Probably feeling "home sick" sorta speak. Google it and see if anyone got ideas how to cope.

Heya sister,

Go easy on yourself. You are human just like the rest of us. We all carry the same sinful nature. You have to not judge yourself on the sinful desires, but realize that you have great Good within you. We are all slaves to sin, even great apposile Paul talked about it in great detail.

Romans 7:14-25
Struggling with Sin

14 So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. 15 I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. 16 But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. 17 So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

18 And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[d] I want to do what is right, but I can’t. 19 I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. 20 But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. 21 I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. 22 I love God’s law with all my heart. 23 But there is another power[e] within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. 24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? 25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.

As Paul stated is that Jesus is our savior. Becoming a dissiple of our Lord Jesus brings us to God and breaks the chains of slavery to sin.

Learn to listen to your spirit and to take the tools of destruction away from the sinful nature.

Click here to read Galatians 5. Great book by Paul.

Once you understand this, you can seek freedom in Christ. Nullify your sinful nature and believe in the good and great potiential within you. You can do it, I believe in you!

I am feeling better. I sort of saw part of a movie, where he was an awesome person because of who he really was and not because of someone. I always forget that when I am down.

Good thing after your first break up, you learned your lesson. The problem with me, falling in love is my weakness and even if I want so much to not hand my heart over right away, I do.

I will lock my heart now, i want to say 'and throw the keys' but that's not being mature, huh? Yeh, keep it in a safe place but for now I will concentrate first on my kids and how I will able to get them and be with me. And my new job!

Thank you, my friend for putting up with me.

God bless!

hehe nah don't throw them away. Right now you are just feeling emotionally down. These steps will help you as start to regain control of yourself. Be patient and keep forgiving yourself.

Month or so back I was talking to my old friend about goal setting. Told him first thing I wake up I want to be a loving husband and good father. He told me that good to have that goal, but something wrong when it is what drives me. Working on changing that perspective, right now my music only thing I love to drive for. I been pouring myself into church and learning guitar. Finally making some traction and having lot fun.

I still have those desires, but I am not making myself desparate to fullfill them. Really it all falls on another person and as you already know good relationships don't happen very offen. Pour myself in ways to help people and what I love doing. Hopefully I will find someone along the way.

Hope this helps and I said the same to Gardener after all my mental breakdowns.

Thanks it really helped.

I miss my guitar playing though.

And we all have mental breakdowns one way or the other.

Heya Cardfan,

You just stepped on why expression is a great thing. Lot music is founded by the 'blues' they where going thru. Psalms have many prayers of king David crying out to God.

For me personally it is like a pressure valve. If I don't rant or just talk with one of my friends. Pressure builds. Sometimes I intentially stuff things down, and this cause LOT back pressure. Just like pipes that can't handle the pressure anymore they explode. BAM great emotional damage.

Don't be afraid to express yourself and rant every so offen. Key is not to dwell on it thou. If you do, then feeding your sinful nature. aka frustration.

Depressed.

[Soulwings]

I'm feeling okay right now, actually. A little depressed, but just cos I'm sleepy, no big deal. I'm looking forward to sitting down this afternoon after I've walked/biked, to read or journal. It'll be nice.

 

[Mrs. Luther073082]

Pretty bad.
