I haven't posted in here for a while... just scared to post so openly about stuff like this.

I just... I'm not doing well lately. feeling low. and I could use some prayers and support.

Sorry I'm not saying much right now. might post more about it later if I work up the courage.

Bethany, good for you in taking the step to reach out again. I know that depression is so hard to deal with at times. Much of the time with me, actually. What helps me is to push myself to do things. Even if it's just little things. Then I actually pat myself on the back for it. Just a thought. I have depression on and off. Major and recurrent, it's a pain.
I wish you the best of luck in dealing with this and hope you will write some more on how it's going for you.

Hey Sweet Earth Angel:​

It's good that you can reach out when you are feeling down. The CF is a good place to come, because we are all One in Christ and we genuinely care. ​

When I was about your age, I was full of raging emotions and feelings. I was depressed and sad for much of it. I used to write short stories and poems to work through my feelings. It helped.​

I actually felt low today, but it rained and the air was crisp and cool afterwards. I decided to go for a run and commune with God. The headphones were put on and I ran with praise and worship music singing in my ears. ​

I got out into God's outdoors and it was beautiful after the rain. The smells were sooo refreshing and the clouds in the sky were big and beautiful. I started feeling better. By the end of the run, I was on high with an awakened and thriving Holy Spirit.​

When you get low, try and find things that will lift you up. Fill up the tub with some warm water and add some tea tree oil or lavendar oil. Heaven scents. Light some candles and turn down the lights. Enjoy the warmth, the quietness, the aroma of the oil, and the dance of the candle light.​

If you have some praise and worship music, put it on and focus on the Lord. Praise Him for all the good things in your life. This takes you away from the negative that is pulling you down. ​

Journaling your feelings is good. Arts and crafts good too. I call it color therapy. I also go shopping at Goodwill thrift store. I buy books, blouses, pants, and dresses and rarely go over $10.00. I call this my retail therapy. I love thrift shopping. Makes me feel so good when I get beuatiful things at a bargain price. ​

You have asked for prayers. It is done.​

Hang in there. Surrender it to the Lord. Put Him in the driver seat. Trust God and surrender all.​

Hope you return and let us know how you are doing. ​

​

​

Have a "Fairy" nice evening.

May you find His peace in your Heart.​

Hugs and kisses.
InHisgripkim​

I know that things are rough, I know that life is unfair right now, but hang in there, little one. Things will get better in time, and while things are the roughest, God is there for you. He's there through thick and thin, He loves you more than I ever could (although I love you so incredibly much), and He will carry you through the most depressing and dark times of your life if you ask Him to.

I pray for you every night. And every day. And whenever I think of you. I love you so much. You are a beautiful, wonderful daughter of God, just the way you are, and you have blessed me in so many ways. I never stop thanking God that I met you. You are beautiful, inside AND out. Try to remember that. I know it's hard, but it's the truth.

Hang in there. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear, for You are with me..."

And I'm here. Always and anytime. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you need anything.

 

[oneandlonely]

Thanks everyone. I'm sorry I'm not saying much. I'm really scared to be open about it.

I'm having a really rough day .

 

[Soulwings]

[HolyOne87]

[Victory of the Cross]

and you know I'm always here beth *hugs* you can't get rid of me

 

[oneandlonely]

So the last few days have been... rough.

there is a lot going on in my life lately. a lot that I can't talk about. April... you know what I am talking about....

I don't know what really is wrong with me lately, that's why its so hard for me to post what going on (other than I am really scared to). I don't know why I feel this bad. I just know that I have felt terible lately. I'm so mentally down. I don't feel like doing anything. I don't even have the will to get out of bed anymore.

I just mentally haven't felt good. I don't really know how to talk about it. sorry

Thanks everyone for the support tho.

 

[HolyOne87]

its okay oneandlonely..Sometimes its hard to. I felt like that last night(lasted a few hours). I was very depressed, but didnt know what the root cause of it was. In my own way(through writing mostly--didn't have many to talk to at the time), I got passed it for now...Although, I still do not know why I was the way I was.
I will hope and pray that things start to get better..and remember, when you are ready to talk, we are all hear to listen to you and help you...the option is always open.

*hugs*

 

[pockleberry]

[trinitygrace]

Praying for you that your spirits will rise and you won't feel so low! God is with you! He never leaves your side! He loves you like you are the only person on earth! Love, Trinity

/me hugs Bethany.

Things will be okay. They will.

The mental lowness will pass. Better days will come. Keep holding on to that hope.

You're in my prayers, lil sis. Hang in there. You're tough.

*shakes head* but things won't change. Things aren't going to change. I'm not going to be ok. *sigh* things don't get better. things get worse. they always just get worse.

 

[Soulwings]

They WILL get better. It isn't going to be like this for your whole life, sweetie. It ISN'T. You're going to get help, you're going to recover, you're going to get better. You'll put SI and depression and bad thoughts and memories behind you. Someday all this will be just a memory that you will think is more like a painful dream. Remember how I said that I had a feeling 2006 would be a better year? Is there any way that I can help you try to MAKE it become a better year for you?
