Just remember that God is always with us and He loves you.

Situations like those can leave us caught in a rut of negative thinking. It's gonna take some effort to get unstuck, but one simple thing to do which I find very helpful is to focus hardcore on praying about it with a thankful heart. Regardless of what happens or how negative something makes you feel, remember that God has an eternally good purpose for you in that situation. God makes life happen, and we need to honor Him in it. The simplest way to do that is by earnestly turning to God with gratitude. Do this and you will begin to feel peace again, God's Word assures it. Philippians 4:6-7

When I get down, often simply listening to Christian music helps with healing and restoring, it helps restore balance and shines light in the dark corners of my soul, tainted by my failings whether they be commisive or ommissive.

 

[Jeshu]

Sorry to hear things are weighing you down so much at the moment. i know quick prayers don't help much neither do long ones when we look at our misery instead of Christ. It is hard to see the good side of things but with Jesus we can see light in our darkness and overcome it.

Sorry but with the things that my bf says and how he just is nice in an attempt to use me for sex and then leave the room to play his video games or watch porn when he doesn't get what he wants. And hen my boss yelling and insulting me. The people at school ignoring whenever I ask questions only talking amongst themselves. People always looking at me strange or acting off put by me and then all the regular drama like car and debt. I am so miserable and I wouldn't know how to put my mind on God rn.

Even when I do my best to pray otlook to God my bf finds me and tares me down. He just questions what I'm doing and then criticizes me or rolls his eyes so even prayer doesn't make me feel better when nothing but devils are around me 24/7 making my life miserable.

Is your depression situational? Were you depressed before this relationship?

Is your depression situational? Were you depressed before this relationship?

I was depressed before, during, and after this relationship. Life has always been bad and full of adversity since childhood. It's only gotten worse. I don't think I've ever been happy for long or 100% happy.

I had a Pastor pull me and ut of the congregation and tell me that I had no joy once when I was 16 and he prayed for me.

I really don't feel like I've ever had joy so I think it's both situational and physical. I was prescribed Wellbutrin but haven't been able to start yet for financial reasons. I also have a counselor and he see that my life is full of suffering.

Praying you will let this mierable life go down and find newness of life in our Lord Jesus. That is the very best way to deal with depression is to look at Christ instead of your misery. To contemplate misery brings misery to turn misery your back looking at Christ is the way forwards from here. Let the old pass away and seek New in Christ.

Peace

Psalm 34
I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
I will glory in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.


I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.


Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
Fear the Lord, you his holy people,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies.
Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.


The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.


The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.


The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.


Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
The Lord will rescue his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

It sounds like it is tough but that you are getting some help.

I do not want you to feel like I'm judging you. I certainly am not worthy to cast a stone. I just would like to suggest that your relationship doesn't sound conducive in a Christian or in a secular sense. Maybe it was a one off, but are you really getting kindness and support from this?

When I was depressed and on SSRI's it led me to a discovery. I found out that gratitude sends happy chemicals to your brain. While your depressed it seems harder to find these things to praise God for or even to be thankful in general. But if you could do it often it might help. I carried a small stone in my pocket to help remind me. If I touched it I'd think of something to be thankful for. It might help any imbalance done often enough. Let alone it will help change from negative thinking to more positive if you keep it up.

I don't know what to suggest for tonight except for you to be kind to yourself. I became a comfort to myself while I was depressed.

I'm going to pray for you. God bless you. I hope you feel some comfort while in your sadness. I pray that the lows will get less low and that you get further along the road to recovery.

PS sitting reading a Bible would probably help. Next time you could try crying then sitting in His shelter reading. Good night

Yeah, I've found that prayer doesn't magically fix everything.

You simply have to do whatever it is that you can do, and pray that G-d does the rest.

Just do what you can... then leave the rest to G-d.

First get away from mean people. Anyone you can avoid that causes you problems, avoid them. I've known people that would drive to a park, and do their homework for school at the park, in order to avoid problematic family at home.

So do what you can there.

Second, I assume you mean you are going to college or university. If you can reduce the number of classes you are taking, in order to free up some time, do so.

I knew a guy that was only taking 2 classes every quarter. Why rush it? He worked a full time job all the way through school, and he said that he found he enjoyed school far more because he was taking fewer classes, and of course it helps having a full time wage coming in, money wise.

Don't limit your options. There are always other paths you can take, that could make your life easier
