Could really use a hug. Trying to change some things in my life but it just makes my depression worse and am really struggling with self harm and stuff. I wish I was dead most of the time and have started planning seriously...I know all the stuff that people will say about think of how my family will feel but it's still so hard to keep going...

*hugs* Lord, shine your love on pockleberry. Show her the light that covers this world. Even though she may think the light is dim and not worth opening her eyes to. Lift the depression she is struggling with and give her peace and understanding. Show her that life is worth living and that You do have a purpose for her. She is here to serve you and live out Your will for her. Let her spirit soar to new enlightenment. Wrap Your arms around her and give her hope to carry on. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

I've struggled with depression a long time, and I hated it. Then I got suspended from my college because of it, and I'm still bitter about it. I thought I got better, but I'm still having some down days, not down enough that I want to commit suicide, but days I just want to sleep and not do stuff that needs to be done. I recently found out that one of my friends up at my college has given up on me or something because she never talks to me anymore and she took me off of her friends list on facebook. I'm struggling with this because with my borderline I feel like no one cares, but I had somehow convinced myself that they still cared, and that they wouldn't feel any bad feelings about my suspension. Now all I want to do is sleep, and I'm just not doing good coping with this.

*hugs* Lord, be with angelluv. Wrap Your arms around her and hold her close. Lift her up on the Holy Spirit. Let it fill her soul and let it fly. Light the fire in her to show her she still has purpose. Even if it feels like no one is there to help her, let her know that You are. Lord, give her motivation to go back to school when she is ready. Let curiosity soak through her veins and give her a reason to carry on and try again with her studies. Let her know she isn't alone. Lord, when she has no one else to talk to and everyone else walks away whisper to her in the night. Let her be at peace and let the depression fade away. Shine Your light in her and make her smile and laugh once more. Let a new day bring hope to her sinking heart. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.

Hey I need a hug too please, and prayer! About three weeks ago, my two best friends (one of whom is my boyfriend) both moved away to a Christian music college. At the same time, my other best friend, who doesn't live near me but I talk to on MSN all the time, started a gap year at a Christian sailing camp where I first met him when we were both campers there about 4 years ago. Unfortunately, it seems to have been a *huge* oversight on my part for my three best friends to all be an academic year older than me, because I'm still in sixth-form college (I live in England btw). So now, I haven't seen my boyfriend or my friend who went with him for two weeks (bear in mind that these are guys who I used to see pretty much every day and my boyfriend and I have been together for nearly two years, so it's a serious relationship). Sometimes I'll call or text one of them and they'll just be hanging out together and it always sounds like they are having a really good time together and I'm just like, 'Why aren't I there too?' I don't resent them for being there because they are both following God's calling, but I resent being left here without them. The guy who's on a sailing camp gap year thing, he's who I would normally talk to about all this but he has minimal internet access. I just feel really socially isolated, especially as I found out this morning that my friends who are still here all met up last night and I had no idea. It doesn't help that I hate appearing sad in public, so most people have no idea when I'm angry or upset. *EDIT* I'm also not sure where I'm gonna end up after college. I thought that I was meant to go into art and design, but now I have no idea what I'm meant to end up doing. And I don't like it at all. Part of me thinks that God wants me to go into Youth Ministry, but I would really like prayer either to be shown where I'm going or for faith that God will light the way one step at a time and I'll trust Him through it all. *END EDIT* Although this hasn't made me technically depressed yet, I know that if it gets left alone I'll get there and I *really* don't want to get there. Please just pray for me.

*hugs* You will be in my prayers. Forgive me for not posting my prayer in here, but I am so tired I could about crash on the keyboard. May God be with you! I know being away from your significant other is hard. Trust me I know....I live 1,707 miles away from my fiance. If you ever need to talk feel free to PM me!

I fell out with my best friend of 2 years about a year ago we fell out because I had been kicked out of college for something I hadn't done. And she got into contact with me a few days ago and apologised saying that she had seen the truth and that she was really sorry. I went to see her on saturday and we were getting on fine and I left my mobile phone at her house. She was meant to be coming to see me on sunday but I was ill and in bed the majority of the day asleep and so was my husband because he is ill too, we both have the flu. So I don't know if she came or not because she hadnt rung us to say that she was coming like she said she would and now I'm ringing her emailing her and IMing her and she has not replied and now I'm worried that she has fallen out with me and I can't help but think she has done this on purpose. To upset me, as she was my only friend I have in the uk besides my husband. So I am destraught thinking that my only friend had decieved me by making me think she wanted to be friends and then not talking to me so I'm feeling very lonely and very very let down I need hugs

*hugs* Yes it is very hard to have a fall out with friends. I have experienced that many times. Lord, hold maidenoftruth close to you. She is suffering right now from loneliness and sadness. Lift her up and bring her comfort. If this break in friendship was meant to remain split up, bring her renewed hope someday with a new friendship. Let her laugh and smile once more. Bring her strength to live day by day with faith in You and be the best friend that she needs. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

*runs around, hugging everyone, everywhere* May God's blessings be upon you all. I know you may be stuggling right now, deep in depression, or lost your way. I just want you to know that God is with you always and calling you back into His arms! He loves you and wants you to hear His voice.

Lord, place your hands on all those who are suffering from depression right now. Wipe away their tears and hold them close. Carry them for now is the time they are weary and stumbling. Lift them up and give them Your strength to carry on. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.

In high school I had an eating disorder and I would cut my self. No one seemed to care at all. I was alone. When I moved away to go to college I met my fiance and we feel in love. We moved in together got engaged both had great jobs. Then he lost his job. He was unemployed for about a month while I was working and going to school. We had the chance to move 3 hours away and live with my grandpa because he was sick with cancer and he needed someone to take care of him. So we picked up our lifes and moved in with him. One week later he was in the hospital, and one week after that, he passed away. We moved back to where we are from and I got a job and then My fiance got a job and everything seemed great. Until I was 17 days late on my period. I got my hopes up thinking that I was going to have a baby and be a mother. And this morning my period came. My fiance lost his job because he couldnt pass a part of the training course and now he has to wait all over again to see if he can even work at the same place again. My fiance has severe depression and I am having the worst anxiety over him being depressed again. I have been through the worst with him and It breaks my heart to have to see him like this. I feel like a failure. I dont get to be a mom. And my cant feel sad without thinking that I want to kill myself and about how everyone would be better without me. I have cramps and I just really wanted to be a mom.

I just wish that I could be happy for more then a few days. ANd I have no one to talk to. my fiance is too depressed and has a hard time being there for me. Most of my friends are away at school and I only can talk to them online and the few friends I do talk to are not online and I just feel like I will be alone forever.

*hugs you tight* Lord, show lovesbrightpink that there's still hope. In the future through Your grace she will possess the ability to have the chance to be a mom. With all the love You bear, I know You will shower Your blessings upon her and fill her womb with a child in the days to come. Lift her and her fiance from the depression that consumes them. Fill them with your undying love for them. Shine Your light into their hearts and let their darkness crumble from around them. Give them hope to carry on. Remind them to have faith and pray daily to You for Your guidance and strength. Let them know You always provide for Your children and never let them stray. In this time of depression let them turn to you for the help they need. Lord, only through You are all things possible. Without You we are nothing. Let them come to You and let them lean on You. Let them see that everything happens for a reason and that You are working in their lives. This may be a new beginning for them, and a reason for them to depend on You Lord. May blessings be ever covering them. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

I screwed my life up completely. I always had wanted to be in the military since I was a kid. After I got out of high school, I was forced into college, and hated it. I couldn't hold a job, and was really depressed. I signed up for the Navy in December of 2004 and asked them for the quickest ship date out of my town, because I was so frustrated. I received a ship date of january 18th, 2005. I was no prepared at all. Not prepared mentally or physically. 2 weeks into training I broke down and had to be put into seperations with the rest of the suicidal crazies. I was discharged with an RE-4, which means I can newver get in again. Since I've been out, I have been constantly thinking back on what I could have done had I wated 6 months for my ship date. The Navy is what I wanted to do with my life, and now I can never do that. I can't do anything right these days, I have really no friends, and screw it up with everyone new I meet. Life really sucks, I try so hard to make it better, but it doesn't get better. gaaaah!

Nicole. I'm sorry, I never knew the whole story. Is there any way that you can get involved with something like a church in your area? There would be people there who would be willing to become friends with you, mentors, whatever. I think it would be a good idea.

/me sends Nicole a ton of hugs.

And theartist I've had my share of disappointments too, and dreams that I've had to abandon. Is it possible that there is something else, perhaps something you love that you are overlooking, that you could catch on to as a career? And as for the depression ... have you tried any medications for that? Because they can help significantly in improving mood, concentration, all that, so you would be able to either go to college or hold a job or do whatever you wanted.

/me gives theartist another ton of hugs.

Abba, I lift these people up to You today. Give them Your peace, Your comfort, and Your wisdom to know what direction to take their lives. Wrap Your arms around them, Daddy, and heal their hurts. In Your Name, amen.
