it's 2:45am and i am still wide awake, feeling alone and depressed. i thought i had kept my demons in check but i kept weeping and reliving the image of a wheelchaired/handicapped boy that i met albertsons the other morning. he just sat there, smiling yet motionless, and could not utter a single word. i almost lost it right there and then. i stuffed his donation box with however much money i had in my wallet and i drove off as fast as i could. needless to say, i had tear in my eyes the whole way to work. i managed to get through the whole day without being too emotional but then on my way home at a stop light, i saw a three legged stray dog limping aimlessly on the sidewalk. i dried my eyes with some tissue and when i looked over again she was gone. i remembered praying to God, "Please don't do this to me again..." and the tears ran down my cheek.
I think the holidays brings out the worst in all of us with depression. I'm sorry for your suffering. It sounds like you may need to get some therapy and medicinal help for a while till you can get back on an even keel again.
hello. i hope things are some better today for you. i was touched by your letter about being so alone and depressed. some nites can be difficult for me too. this life is a little more than we can bear by ourselves. at least that's where i was not long ago when i finally got down on my hands and knees and asked God to take control. i opened the bible that had been just sitting on my shelf for so very long. i flipped through the back to try and get some revelation on the things bothering me at the time... anger with my father, depressed with my life, unsatisfied with just about everything. things slowly started to change in my life and i started spending more time in God's word, the Bible. maybe you can get comfort from this to. i know for me it was just to much to deal with on my own and the more i started letting go and turning to God the more. if you want to talk more on this contact me on my e-mail address... cab7695@aol.com
