I need some help

[Julie Gross]

Hi, I need some help because I have depression and I need some support. I have been feeling like I want to die lately. I think it's mostly because of work. Work is exhausting and I'm always tired and weak from work. I also get really dizzy at work too. I need to find another job but I feel like I'm stuck with this one and I don't want to work anymore I'm so tired and I'm in so much pain!!! I have been applying to places but no such luck. Also I don't have time to go to church anymore because of work and it's bumming me out. I don't have any friends and I'm not in a relationship and I feel like I'm meeting jerks and no one is really nice to me. I'm lonely and can't find anyone. I don't have family to turn to. They aren't supportive in that way. They only show they care by helping me with other things. I appreciate it though. I'm just all alone. Also sometimes I wish people would go away and leave me alone. I have mixed feelings. Anyway I feel sick all the time and I'm miserable. I feel like I need to go to the doctor a lot. I just wish I can stop going to work and sleep all day. I mean it I'm always tired. I try to connect with people but often times I'm rejected. Its like no one wants to me my friend. I always get judged and criticized. It's frustrating. I don't feel like I belong anywhere. I know my thoughts are all over the place but I'm venting and I'm writing my thoughts as they come.

Hi, Julie. I can understand the feelings you expressed – I’ve been there, too. I am a little concerned that you don’t want to live any more. I think it would be a good idea if you can take a break from work for a while – go for a vacation or spend some time doing what you feel like doing. May be this can help you refresh and de stress yourself. Reading helps a lot, as well. Also, have you considered talking to a trusted friend or a Christian adult who can support you during this time? I am praying for you. May God comfort, guide, and lead you in the days ahead. Hugs!

Hi sis you are so welcome here. We know so well what you are saying. The best help you can get is Jesus. Lay your hurting life at His feet and leave it there and go and learn to love our Heavenly Father with all your heart and all your soul and no matter how sick you might be His truthful love will sustain you. And then go forget about you the hurting one and think about others hurting like you or so much worse and ask Jesus to be with them all. The more you pray for others the lighter your burdens will become even if the load increases.

Also and this is really important when you struggle with depression and low self-esteem and things, ask Jesus to teach you to love you as He loves you and see what happens to the depression, for honestly true it will loose all power over you and begin to produce fresh water instead of salty/bitter/poisonous/acidic stuff.

You are most welcome to join us here we have a really nice group of people here. Most of us don't go to Church but many love The Lord sincerely so you should be right at home here.

To God's Depressed Child,

To think less of yourself then God's own
Brings you much pain and suffering.
Your worth is an incredible high price
Also for you did Jesus die on the cross.

Depression is also what devil's lies brings inside
letting a low-self-esteem your good life rob
Untruths roaming freely through heart and mind
Evil lies extinguishing all happiness and fun.

His loving truth brings you His good life
While to believe lies brings pain and grief
So hold onto the promises Jesus made to you
and don't let Satan your good life squander.

Take hold of God's precious loving truth.
A life in Him stays safe from lies that hurt.
Jesus' truth will comfort your bleeding heart
Lovingly remaking your fallen life anew.

Hi Julie. I said a prayer for you. People care about you here and we understand because we often feel the same way.

God doesn't change, just our perception of Him. Depression is a real illness, not a character weakness. There are things we can do to combat it.

I don't know enough about you or your history to get specific so I'll just say you are welcome to vent here and share any thoughts or ask advice. You are loved by God though you may feel just the opposite now, and that's okay.

Your chemical balance is off right now. It makes physical, psychological and spiritual issues grow to monsterous purportions and therefore unmanageable.

Medical intervention may be in order. Most of us use meds under doctor's supervision to some degree.

Don't give up on God, yourself or life. Things will get better. Please stay around and keep us posted so we can love, pray and support you.

This reminds me of 2nd Corinthians 10:5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
So when you feel weak, give it to Jesus and don't stop. Ask God if he wants you on medication. And Pm me if you wanna chat, I'm not a jerk like the people you've been finding.

I'm sorry you are going through a difficult time, Julie. Depression is a very complex issue that deserves personal and in-depth attention. Here's some information that might be helpful to you. Seeking a qualified therapist help may be a good idea, too. Hope you get better soon. Prayers and hugs!

I've struggled with depression too and what you have to realize is that it's an illness just like any other. You should go to your doctor ASAP and tell him/her exactly what you've said here, there are medications that will help get you out of that horrible black pit of despair. Wanting to sleep all the time is another symptom of depression as is not wanting to live.
When you get the depression under control then you can better deal with the other problems you have but so long as you're fighting this illness it's very hard to cope with just normal everyday life.
You can make friends, you can get involved in things that interest you, perhaps do some volunteer work where you'll meet people. This may require you to cut back on your work hours or even find another job because you sound absolutely exhausted.
Take the first step and discuss this with your doctor, ask for some medication to help you through this dreadful time. Mental pain is every bit as disabling as physical pain.

Burns outs are a real thing. Go see a doctor. When hopelessness collides with exhaustion, it can happen. I burned out at some point, my mother did too but she was close to retirement age. It's alright, you do what you can and that's enough. It's good to lean on Christ and have hope that way too. It's not a gimmick, like a diet, but a good source for hope. No matter how dry that well might seem for us when we're worried about everything, it is not.

Are you still available to talk? I would like to pm you but not sure how to do it.
