I don't know if its because i feel like alot is happening right now or what, or I finally have a day that I am alone in my thoughts, but I feel so low. This is probably a rant.

Since I have stuff to do to prepare for a trip to Florida early tomorrow to spend Thanksgiving week with my parents, I decided that I might not be able to drive to church and get all the cleaning done today. But truly, its also because I felt depressed this week despite the stuff accomplished, and I didn't want to spend another Sunday, among those that look right through me Sunday after Sunday and would rather ask how my parents are than how I'm feeling ( I plan to change church). It would make me feel more depressed.

But as I was cleaning out the fridge, a wave of depression came over me. And I feel so inadequate in life.I just wanna crawl into my bed, ignore my phone, and watch the day pass by. I see others able to function, and this flesh and my thoughts just cripples me. I wish Jesus would just come take me. I have so much in my mind, but there's no one to talk to that would understand, like I am alone in my thoughts.I'm always doing something for someone, so this is the only day in a while where I actually can have a moment to think and feel right now, and I guess I capitalize it by ignoring everyone and everything.

Pray for me though.

I know exactly how you feel as I struggle with my thoughts everyday and I just want you to know that you can pm me anytime and we can talk if you want to about anything. Just remember that God loves you and that you are very special to Him. God bless you and Jesus is Lord.

Your posts have been a blessing to me. Sorry that you are feeling sad and maybe a little exhausted. Maybe you are having anxiety about seeing your parents? (Don't we all) Who better to make us feel inadequate than our parents? When I get within a 100 miles of my dad I start hearing his thoughts. Thanksgiving is such a loaded Holiday thanks to that Norman Rockwell painting.

I pray that you will be set free from depression!!! You talked about a wave hitting you. God showed me years ago that thoughts precede (come before) emotions, but the emotions hit us so fast that we aren't aware of the thoughts. This is a ploy of the devil to keep you in bondage. Ask God to show you what thoughts are causing the depressed feelings. Once those thoughts are identified, you can fight them with specific scriptures.

I've had to fight many anxious thoughts, and the scripture that has helped me the most is Philippians 4:6-9--

Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable — if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise — dwell on these things. Do what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.​
