I'm just not strong enough to get through this. I keep giving up why try to feel better when there's nothing to live for

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

You made it to today, even though you've been depressed before. You know a lot about endurance, and how to keep going, even when life doesn't make sense. That is strength.
I know what it's like to be depressed. May the God of all comfort be near you, to strengthen you, and give you peace. In Jesus' name, amen.

There's nothing wrong with you. There is nothing shameful about taking medication - it doesn't mean anything about you as a person.Now I'm just considered crazy
Now I have to go on medication

This is the moment of faith:
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. (John 20:29)
When it seems unreal, and it doesn't feel like it's true - this is where He guides you, unseen. He is with you. "I am with you always." (Matt. 28:20).
You don't have to feel strong now. You don't have to prove anything to Him. He loves you.

I agree. And also know that the enemy is taking advantage of this situation. I can prove it. If I were in your situation, would you label me crazy. I don't think you would, because you don't really believe that needing meds makes a person crazy. It's a boatload of junk the enemy is vomiting into your brain. It's really import--crucial--that you counter it with the truth of God's word. Here's a good place to start. Just click this link: Louie Giglio - Laminin - Today's Christian Videos
Jesus has this all worked out. You need to reinforce that thought over and over again for the rest of your life. It will help you.

Thank you I will listen. Also hearing about others being in pain and stories of abuse make me depressed and I start to think that God doesn't care about our pain. My mind feels like a torture chamber. Why do I need a boyfriend to feel like my life is worth something? Sometimes I just have a burning question in me to know if I'm worth anything

Laughing, ice cream, being loved by a guy which I'll never have. Knowing I'm accepted and in right standing with God. Being with my two friends that make me laugh

Go to youtube and watch something funny. There always tons on there to go through. "Fail videos", "Funny scare videos", "Funny animal videos". Whatever you find funny
My step-grandpa works at an ice cream factory and gets discount ice cream. I'd send you some, but not sure if it would stay cold or not!
If you ever feel lost or alone, feel free to message me anytime, my friend.
God bless!

I can't keep my mind focused on my reality. When I do I think about how I'm single, alone, hurt, depressed. I met up with one of my friends from an internship today whO came down
To visit from Nebraska. She's doing a research internship and we discussed medical school
And if I was still interested in applying. I explained to her that I lost my motivation to study for the MCAT a test that must be taken before applying to medical school. The depression took away my ability to focus. I don't even know what I want to do with my life anymore. I thought about being a counselor but I may not get well to help others and I met get emotionally involved with clients. My mind feels damaged. Instead of praying I run away and ignore reality because the pain is just too much. I never thought my life would turn into a mental torture chamber. I thought that having a stepfather would be my second chance at having a father but it wasn't, I'm not close to him after 11 years in the same house. I resent him for it and seems like the only time he talks to me is if he wants help with Doung something or if he says something about me not going to church.
I hate the biological father. My heart has been broken by someone I thought I could trust. My walk with God never took off because I doubted my salvation which sent me into a depression. Sometimes I just want to throw everything away , to disappear. Every moment is pain. Seeing couples happy, seeing children with their fathers, hearing people talk about God, hearing about pain and death. I just can't take anymore. In all h
