Hey, first time doing this but feeling as though I am alone and needing someone or something to confide in. I have been crying for at least a week or more straight every day, and for months on and off. I have nobody and thoughts of death seem to be the first thing on my mind. I am a mother, a daughter, a sister, an x-wife,a girlfriend and an enemy. This is way to much for me!
Hi Stacey, I really feel when i was depressed god helped me. I didnt take meds i just prayed and believed god would deliver me from my anxiety and physical symptoms and also thoughts of wanting to die. this takes trust in god and if you dont have that ask him to help you trust him and he will. Stacey there is a such thing as a spritual realm ,the bible tells us that. it says we war not against fleash and blood, but powers and principalities in the spritual realm. The devil is our enemy he can put things in our minds that make us think woa where did that come from. its not all you ,god tells us rebuke the devil and he will flee. when i remembered that i did it. it was just saying it out loud devil i rebuke you , and i fealt better. i will talk more to you later if you want i have to go back to work. god cares ask him for help
While it is true that God can help us, sometimes He chooses not to right away. Like in Job's case, God allowed him to suffer to prove a point: that Job was a devoted follower and would not renounce God. Last summer I was in this "shadow of death" and felt it's grip, and I thought about Job and all those other guys who went through hell in the bible. I thought, "Okay, God, where are you now? Where's all the love and sunshine?" I felt alone, and ignored by God. Looking back now, I realize that each week He brought me up closer to Him, even if just an inch. After many weeks, inches added up, and now I'm back at almost full-functioning capacity.
My point is this: God loves us and will take care of us, but sometimes he lets us hurt for a while so we'll cling to Him even more and persevere.
I hope you've come through this time and are many inches closer to God.
God may be nice, but he will not help you if you are to chemically depressed and contemplating suicide! What worked for me was to study the disease and learn. Go to the doctor and talk to him/her and start some meds. Some will work some will not, some will make you sick and after a while will work and the sickness will sometimes go away.
But Learn, this is your best defense...then Good friends, and then tell them about what you have learned, because they will probably not understand as well.
