Stressed Out

[warrior4_yahuwshua]

I havn't cut for a very long time. When I cut I seemed to have control on life. I didn't screw up and sin in front of people as bad as I do now that I don't cut. I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown. It's like no one cares. I just want to let it bleed all out, but I know that if I cut it wont help me any. I need the temporary relief.

My "friends" are not there. The church is not there. My family is not there. All i'm doing is throwing a big pity party right now. Does anyone have any encoarging thoughts or comments.

What about God created you out of love?

Friends and other people will disappoint us. That is part of being human. What you need to do is develop a deep, lasting relationship with Jesus, because He will never leave you nor forsake you. When you feel this way, go to the Psalms and see that David felt similarly when he was fleeing from Saul who was trying to kill him. He writes about his loneliness and yet he finds God is there, and is faithful to him.

Do you ever self-soothe? I journal, listen to music and deep breath. Also, taking a walk is a great way to self-soothe. Doing this, will help you feel less stressed.

Be good to yourself. You deserve it.

I can relate to what you are talking about. I'm all alone at the moment and it seems like such an easy thing to fall back to. No one would even have to know. However, God would know. When I feel stressed out or at my breaking point, I have a woman that I know I can call. She's been very clear about that. Maybe try to find someone who you can call...someone who loves you and that you feel you can trust. Talking through your feelings will do a lot more good that you would think. If you really don't feel like there is anyone you can call/talk to, then maybe try going for a really long walk. Clear your head, go over your feelings. It's just a suggestion. Remember that God loves you and so do many other people in your life. Sometimes it's just hard to remember that. If you need anything, feel free to PM me or e-mail me.
