Psychiatry

[chaoticfirefly]

So I tried to see if I can't get in to see someone else other than who I've been seeing. My current psychologist isn't helpful or useful, as all she does is talk about my job that I'm currently happy with. I was talking about how a friend was treating me and how down I've been recently and she INTERRUPTS me and changes the subject back to my job.

So I tried calling the hospital to get a recommendation or an appointment with someone else but they wouldn't do it.

What do I do? I'm on the brink of killing myself, I still can't sleep, I've been hearing voices, my cutting has worsened and I'm crying constantly and I want help but my currently psychologist isn't helpful or helping me deal with these things.

I'm praying for you so much right now - it just pains me so much to know that you or anyone feels this way, because I have felt this way so many times and I know what it is like. I have also self-harmed a lot (punching myself, leaving bruises) and I have had suicidal thoughts. You are not alone, and there really is hope! Even if you don't feel hope right now, there is hope. I got prayed over on Friday, and the depression lifted! I swear! And such a joy - I started laughing. The medication has helped me manage depression symptoms, but only God can fill me with such joy. He is real, and He loves you. He wants to heal you. Anything else that people might believe is a lie from the devil. I'm praying right now that depression is lifted from you, and that you are filled with a joy that is like a cool, thirst-quenching drink on a hot summer day, the kind that you just keep drinking and drinking. With joy, you will draw deeply from the wells of salvation (Isaiah 12:2). That God will fill you with the gift of joy every day, that it will feel like Christmas every day. When the depression comes - speak out against it. The devil has no place in your life or in your body. You belong to Christ, and Christ has the victory. By His stripes we are healed. I hope this long post doesn't sound too overbearing - it's just the truth that has worked in my heart, and is the only thing that has worked. It is far more helpful than any counselor or psychiatrist I have seen, and I can't even count how many I've seen. You should still seek out the right psychiatrist, and I pray that God connects you with one who will help you and truly listen to your pain. But it is the Lord who will lead you to healing, whether through a psychiatrist, medication, a church. The Lord is our source. I send you so much love right now. Know that you are not alone - I am thinking of you, wanting to reach out so bad.

Chaoticfirefly - God loves you so much. Every negative thought you have about yourself is a lie from the devil. I pray right now that that the devil flees from your life. God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. You have the light of Christ living inside of you, and you have the power of Christ - even if it doesn't feel that way. The emotions come because of the lies that the devil has planted in our heads. I know this because I have been suffering form depression for 20 years and finally God revealed to me the root of my depression, and the lies that are embedded in those emotions. God created us, and He loves us. Seek Him with all your heart. Pray to Him and ask him to show you the roots of your depression - what are the lies that the devil planted in your head? What is God's truth about those thoughts? I don't write all of this to be overly religious - I am writing this because I recently experienced a healing from depression that I never thought would come. Two days ago I experienced JOY for the first time in months. Walking with Christ is the only beautiful thing I know. Everything else in the world is ugly, dark, and depressing. The devil doesn't want your psychiatrist to help you. But God does, and God has the power to do ANYTHING. All things are possible through Christ our Saviour. If you can do anything, turn on some praise and worship music. Go to church and get prayed over. Raise your hands in worship - it is the only true beauty I know.

I hope that you are prepared to keep on going. Depression never lasts, there will come a time that you will feel better again.

Hang in there.
