I give up

[Endearing lil Influenza]

I give up

Christian living does not work for me... nor does normal living work for me... I can NOT continue living like this any more... It's all too much... I'm just too rotton... I want to be dead

 

[PleaseHelpMe]

Theres really not much I know to say...

Everyone is rotten, every single one of us...

But Jesus loves you anyway. No matter what you do or did or want to do or, no matter what, Jesus still loves you.

Why doesn't Christian living work for you?

Don't give up. Look up.

Your not suicidal, are you? Please don't. You'll be with Jesus soon enough, and others need to see your example.

Lord, give her strength.

God bless you.

Why do you say Christian living does not work for you? Why do you say normal living does not work for you? Why do you say you are too rotten? We are all rotten, for we all have sinned. I am a rotten person. Billy Graham is a rotten person. If we all did not have Jesus, we would be 100% rotten and we would be seperated from Jesus for eternity. But, thankfully Jesus came and died for us. If we call on the name of the Lord, then we are accepted by Him, no matter what humans say to us. We are loved by Jesus, even if we are not loved on this earth. Have you been to counseling before? I would reccommend going to counseling; I have gone 3 times before and it has helped, even though I do have a long way to go before I am totally cured from depression.

I will pray for you, Endearing lil Influenza. Jesus loves you,

Trust me, in the long run it isn't the right answer. If you are gone, a LOT of people will miss you and be torn up inside. They will be asking themselves "why didn't she talk to me, she could have!" Or some may be thrown into a depression by your death. And for your sake, God wants you here for a reason, and only when we accomplish our mission here on earth will we know what that purpose was, but if YOU kill yourself, you are taking matters into your own hands. It says somewheres that God gives us depression because he wants us to feel what Jesus went through just a little bit so therefore we can become better, more compassionate Christians. All in all though, I would talk to a counsellor, this isn't going to go away if you hold it all in and not tell anyone, it will make it worse. I am not sure where you are from, but if you don't have insurance and you aren't covered for Mental Health treatment, go to a pastor, minister, or priest, they will help you out. You need to talk to someone, God doesn't want to see you yet, and we don't want you to leave. Good luck with everything, take care! God Bless.

Your sis in Him,

P.S. If you want to talk you can PM me or e-mail me, my e-mails are in my file.

Just remember, you won't live forever, but you have this time given to you. Why end it now? You never know what is in store. Someone needs you now, and someone will need you as long as you are given life! Be there for them! Smile! Eat an ice cream!Watch your favorite movie! Enjoy little things when the big ones go wrong! God Bless You! Jen

I'm sorry... I've been depressed for a long time... I'm okay... not suicidal... though i do wish i am dead... I only want the suffering to stop...

In my own life, I felt the same way. After suffering long enough (though it hasn't quite stopped yet) I realized that my suffering was festering guilt from some sins I'd been holding on to. I'd been dating a non-Christian, and many of my close friends were wiccan among other things, and I refused to give them up! Honestly, many people are able to live this way -- in sin. However, I also refused to give up God. I had (and still have) this feeling that God was the Truth and that He truly loved me!

After struggling for a few years, I've managed to cut out many of the sins that I had simply been ignoring for so long! Part of that was calling myself worthless when I failed in earthly things. Part of that was rationalizing a non-Christian lifestyle. Little steps brought me out of suicidal depression better than my drugs or my therapy. Of course, at first I had non-Christian therapy, and my drugs weren't doing squat for me whereas now, I'm seeing a Christian AND I'm on drugs that help -- but I truly believe that I would feel equally as worthless if I was still fighting God as much as I was.

I'm not cured, and I'm not by FAR a perfect Christian, but I'm working toward it, and the striving has made my life worth living (if not 100% happy)

I am assuming that you were dealing with Depression prior to turning to Jesus. Depression is very hard, I was there for two years. I didn't know what to do. I am hoping that you have found a supportive doctor that can help you with some medicine and maybe a support group, It took awhile for me to get on the right medication, but once I did, I was fine and finally I was able to come off that medicine and live the life I wanted to live. If you are not currently seeing a doctor, please do that, start with your family doctor. Now for you saying Christian life isnt for you. Do you live in a Christian enviroment? Are you able to turn to your minister in times like this? I dont live in a christian enviroment, although my husband is trying hard to turn away from some of his ways to help me its still not the same, he doesnt believe the way I do and if I mention things he doesnt have the faith I do and he doubts it.

All I can say is you were put here on this earth for a reason and God loves you so much and we all come short of the glory of God. Keep DOUBTING YOUR DOUBTS, clear your mind and pray, God will show you the way..
God Bless You!

I have been depressed my entire life. My first suicidal thought was when I was 8. I was being badly abused though...it's not a chemical thing with me. I have been on meds...they don't help me. Talking helps some....writing or drawing does too. But the title "I give up" caught my eye cause I feel like that every single day. it gets kind of old eventually. But I figure that I have been in the hospital several times because of an overdose and other times I have mixed alcohol with pills knowing that it can be lethal....but I am still here...then there has to be a reason....right?

Do something creative with your depression, that often helps. NEVER sit there, doing nothing-you brain will wonder and eventually wallow in the fact that you suffer from depression, making the depression even worse! Watching films, making music (if you can) surfing the net, going out (if you can), listening to music-do that nonstop, and only think about (or face the depression) with proffessional help and friends. You need to face up to it, but never alone in my humble opinion-when you're alone, occupy yourself.

hi everybody

I just found this forum a few min ago and I REALLY feel like seeking for help. I am very very depressed and scared of the feelings that I feel: Its like God left me alone. The last months I just spend with praying and asking Him for help..but nothing!

I have a very low self esteem and now I really thing that even God doenst love me. If He would He could help me, He must see me suffering but its like He doesnt care at all. One min I think something is coming my way: I fail again.

I feel so helpless, where is God???? I dont know where but not in my life.

still crying and hoping for help from God but nothing...

Hello Krizilla! First advice I'll give you is to start a new thread. Some people might miss your post -- and it CERTAINLY wouldn't be because they were ignoring you!

Welcome to Christian Forums!

 

[krizilla]

I feel very alone as I moved from my country. So I miss my familiy a lot. God please help me.
