i dont understand

[*Rob*]

hi guys, im a friendly bubbly person who enjoys a great laugh, but deep down i have issues, ive recently been put back on medication for depression.

I dont understand how i could be depressed, i though life was great until i left school.

Now im afraid to make social contact with others, and spend time in bed because i feel so useless, i would love for you to pray for me.

Those issues can be got rid of if you see things as God sees them. Jesus had no issues and he was right !

If you care to share what those issues are I'll offer whatever I have from God or experiences of others who have been through the same.

for you Rob.

My daughter was in her teens and had to have antidepressants. IT really helped her alot!!! Teenage years are so difficult with hormones and trying to find out just where you fit in life.
Think baby steps. We are constantly learning to go from one place in our live to another through changes. Sometimes its easier if we take baby steps to get there.
Dont try to grow up too fast. You will get there soon enough. Set small goals and dont try to conquer the world at one time.

This week, get up, get dressed including shoes and do 1 small goal per day. Clean something... fold a load of clothes ... what ever is needed in your life... job search etc.... take baby steps towards this goal. Next week try to do a little more. No matter how the days go, only look at what you got done... make a list, example:
brushed teeth
shower
dressed
cleaned bathroom
fixed meal
got ready for bed
went to bed at __time
day 2

etc....
Do not put down anything negative at all!!!!! ONLY positive stuff.

Just try it for one week, what have you got to lose?

OH..... I almost forgot.... pray every day for "Gods" will in your life.

Dear Rob sad to hear that you have been put back on anti-depressants, for that means that life is not always easy for you. I will certainly pray for your welfare.

God bless.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Lloyd.

Feel free to seek out my posts or simply stop by the Bipolar Forum in order to help get an idea of what so many people face when they get out of bed in the morning.

It can be rough stuff, but doesn't have to, if you make the decision to help the people around you to help yourself.

Feelings can deceive, you need to know God, he will indwell you by His Spirit and reveal himself to you and through you if you let him.

it is okay to take time for yourself. God can have you in a time away from others to be more intimate with you too. Remember that Jesus sought times of aloneness (being with God still), like 40 days in wilderness times, etc. Bible on walkmen tapes can be helpful, or bible movies or just reading the bible. Hopefully you can come across christian magazines or other literature. Maybe getting a dog will be nice for you, take him on walks and wear your walkmen with bible Just an idea. I am praying for you too
