Struggles with depression, dips in faith

BookofMatt · Jul 18, 2015

Hello. Lately I've been having pervasive bouts of anxiety and depression which have really been taking a major toll on me. These are nothing really new, and my faith has never been broken during these tribulations, but sometimes during these recent episodes it starts feeling like God is so far away and can't hear me anymore, and having those thoughts is deeply upsetting to me.

If you could please pray that God will see me through these issues and welcome me back in His arms, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.

There is a saying that when it feels like God is not walking with you, that he is carrying you.
Oh ye of little faith.
The bible says ," To take your thoughts captive because not all thoughts come from a good place. Satan is very tricky.

The times you are going through is a time that you are about to discover something that may be from your past to overcome. Is there anyone from your past that you resent?
This path is not easy sometime, but all is to learn from.

Amen. You are in my prayers. I'm a born-again Believer, AND I still take a medication for infrequent headaches. If I get one but skip the med, I get a little upset with myself.

If you suffer from headaches, you are harboring anger.

Well, I don't have headaches, nor do I harbor any resentment towards anyone...maybe myself sometimes, though. My depression and anxiety isn't always rooted in rationality, but it's sometimes hard to remember that when I'm in the midst of it.

Nevertheless, thank you all for your prayers. It really means a lot to me. Likewise, I'm praying for all of your own continuing happiness and comfort.

You are in denial.

Denial of what?

Getting angry easily.

BookofMatt · Jul 18, 2015

The question was if I had any resentment towards anyone, and I don't. I can get angry, and I get angry and frustrated at myself from time to time as a result of my BPD, but if there's any strife with my interpersonal relationships, it's rooted more in insecurity than anger.

What is causing your insecurity, have you ever thought of the reason.?
I always watch my feelings until i understand the source.
once I understand the source that God has revealed, He frees me from it.
Once I faced my anger and was sorry for it by hunger and thirsting to become righteous, God showed me the source and cleansed me from it.
Just praying didnt change me I needed understanding of the source.
God is the best psychologist.
just trying to help.

Oh, I know there are reasons and I'm working that out through therapy, I was just seeking some additional support riding out the rough spots.

I would like to help.
can you speak of the rough spots.
Believe me, I have also gone through stuff from my past but I found that seeing the truth about ourselves
without judging ourselves is honored by God in His time.
We have to be patient with ourselves and forgiving others who have hurt us removes alot of those rough spots.
Christ said forgive them Father for they know not what they do. Someone hurt them also.
God is the best therapist.
