Transitioning.

[youthwalk]

Hi Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I went through a real drop in mood recently. I'm still in it and the reason it's concerning is that it's been happening more often than usual. As I said in my last post my life's been a bit hectic and I've transitioned into a new season and I am about to transition again (I'm heading back to uni in September and I'm dreading it). The theory is that my moods have been erratic because I have had circumstances influence my life in negative but not traumatic...as in there were not incidents, just stuff piling up and I've been trying to cope as best I could.

My Pdoc will be putting me back on Paxil as of tommorrow, Friday. Hopefully I'll have the same or even better results as I did before. I just want to make it through school without dropping.

I visited a natural remedy, Christian therapist last night and she gave me basics to try. I take everything that happens there with a pinch of salt since she seems to believe that pdoc encourage people to be helpless and stay bound. I know that some are like that but mine's the opposite. He's wonderful as I told you all before and says that he's proud of me and that doing well and one day maybe we can stop meds. I respect all she says because her treatments have gotten results.

I really do feel good physically today since my last two meals were different from the norm.

Alot of the things she said are obvious stuff if you have a fair idea of the illness; natural mood boosters and the influence of music and the effect of chemicals in food.


I just want to get out of the rut I'm stuck in, I'd like to stop crying all the time and asking God to let me die and I'd like to enjoy being myself again.

God's been faithful and He always is, Amen.

Dear Youthwalk

I just wish I could take you in my arms and say everything is going to be alright!!!


BUT


You have something much better. JESUS is there with you and will carry you through. HE really knows what it is to suffer and HE did it all for you.


We all have our CROSS to bear. Sometimes it is heavier than others but never as heavy as JESUS'S was.


Never forget GOD'S WORD:

" OUT OF YOUR WEAKNESS YOU SHALL FIND YOUR GREATEST STRENGTH "

Bear your load and know that from that load you have within you the ability to achieve and complete the MISSION GOD has given you.


WITH LOVE IN YOUR HEART ALWAYS REMEMBER:





X Even though you can't see him, GOD is there!!! O

Youthwalk:

It sounds like you are doing everything that you should be doing and even some that are not in the typical book. Music therapy (how avant garde). Like WonderWaleye said now is the time to rely on Jesus. Use the time before you uni starts to juice up your brain on a real challenging bible study. You will come out of this, God will pull you through.

I am hoping he will pull you through because I am in the same situation and waiting for Him to pull me through. We can be waiting together.

That you will develop a new understanding of God and HIs love and Faithfulness during this time. Rest in HIs arms and seek His path!!! Blessings and prayers!

Connie, He will pull us both through because His Word promises that those who hope in the LORD will be renewed in strength.

Thank you for the advice. I didn't get into a Bible study but I have been occupied with projects and extra and co curricular stuff. I have been challenged and I've leveled out significantly from the last time I posted.

 

[PrairieGurl]

Youthwalk...so glad you have 'leveled out' since last time you posted!

What an awesome promise:

THOSE WHO HOPE IN THE LORD,
WILL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH,
THEY WILL SOAR ON WINGS LIKE EAGLES!

ISAIAH 40 : 31

I am so glad you are leveling out. Praise God.

If you ever get depressed again (praying that you don't) it is really a good thing to do to do a in-depth bible study if you have the time. I really learned a lot.

Would you like me to pray for a good school year? Something else?
