(serious discussion) Thoughts of suicide....I need help please!!!

"Feelings aren't facts."
c:
I hope this encourages you.

Exactly!!! Feelings come & go,but facts are facts. And the fact is that Satan has time & again tried to beat me down. And now I know he is a liar!!

 

[anna ~ grace]

Amen! This is what I desire to do instead of drowning my sorrow in drugs or anything else. I have that choice,but I choose to lean on god.

Good! Amen! Don't let the Enemy distract you, or lie to you. Jesus is awesome. And loving. Seek your home in His Sacred Heart. Let Him heal, build, repair, and direct you.

 

[paul1149]

Amen! Oh it hurts so bad!! But I will praise him in this storm. Please pray for me. I'm just getting back to God & sometimes I feel like my prayers are too weak to reach heaven. I know they do. I guess it just feels that way

You're actually doing fantastic, to be honest. It hurts, but you are keeping your intellectual and executive faculties very clear and intact. And you are not letting the feelings stymie your faith. "We walk by faith, not by sight", the Bible tells us.

Keep on keeping on. With God, this can be a huge turning point for the better for you. May I suggest reading the book of Philippians, which I call the Christian psychology manual. Ch 3 is about letting go of the past in exchange for the much better God has for you, and Ch 4 is about rejoicing in God in everything as a protection for your emotions. I also recommend the book, Prison to Praise, by Corothers. It's a short but powerful read, and transformational.

Feelings come and feelings go,
But feelings are deceiving.
I'll put my trust in the Word of God,
None else is worth believing.​

Many of the women at the DV shelter I was at had so many of the same issues: going to court, filing a TRO, dealing with the stress of it as well as having to tend to their children.

At the courthouse, I was assigned an advocate and the shelter provided me legal counseling too.

Being around other women with the same issues was a godsend, my friend.

We cry, we hug, we share, we help with tips, ideas, and resources.

Many women have been through very rough times too, and the feeling of wanting to give up is very common.

I'm so glad you have come here and are being supported and prayed for.

Insight into yourself perhaps through Al-anon or ACOA meetings as well?

Being alone can make everything seems so much worse than it actually is.
