Well, in many many old threads, I'd put things about depression, lack of worth, finding it hard to talk to people, hard to make friends, dating issues, the works...

But I have to share that with God's help, things are really turning around! There are some things that are at starting points, but a start can keep going.. The Bible really is the answer. When you realize that you are what God says you are and can do what He says you can do, it's just awesome.

I posted some stuff in the Singles Ministry, but I've been doing some good things. I've been getting away from bad people and being more around good people. Sounds simple, but it really isn't. It tends to be easy to be around bad people.
I've also been reminding myself of things when I'd get down about myself. One of them is to stop comparing myself to others!!! Yea that's one of the easiest ways to feel down. I'll post more later.. Thanks for reading! :tutu:

Sounds like you had a similar problem to what I had. I had felt depressed for some years, had a hard time relating to ppl, trouble dating, sense of worth, etc.

And comparing myself to others, ouch! That was a huge mistake. I remember being so depressed that I even tried imitating other ppl who seemed to be happier and had friends and all that.

Then I met this certain Jesus dude and began comparing myself to him, and began imitating him, with success.

It's amazing what happens to you when you take Jesus into your life.
