Jesus in You!!

Quote From: psychwife2

Please don't let this most recent turn of events turn you away from this board. And I am sorry if I merely fanned the flames by objecting to what I saw as an attack based on religion and beliefs. This is a board about depression and we are supposed to be here to support one another. I'm going to try and ignore negative posts from now on and concentrate on building friendship and support. I hope you will return. We really ARE here for you.
I have briefly read some of you post to others and i am very incouraged to see the heart you have for others!!!  I didn't read them all by far but well  yeah i just thought i would like to share with you something that I see in you!!!

Depression

Quote From: sweets537

all the way home from work i thought about this forum. thought about how my anger and unhappiness has rubbed off on more people. every where i go i cause this. everything i do i cause this. i was never trying to criticize God. He is the only hope that I have to get me through this. But the way it was being thrown at me was to just pawn everything off on him and my life will be okay, and i find that hard to believe. I go to church, i read my bible, i pray, my son knows God. He isn't something that I keep quiet in my household. Yet he can and will only help me through so much. I have to deal with this depression and i have to deal with it today, tonight, tomorrow, and so on or else i can't be here for the great family that I have.

I am guessing someone said to you give everything to God and it will be ok.......  what if i say it this way Let God be God and he will be there for you no matter how hard things are.....  there are so many days i would just love to disappear but i know that God is there right by my side believing in me even though i don't believe in myself.  Yes, we are to give all things to God but in doing that we have to let him keep those things which can make someone think Oh I've done that before and it doesn't work.  It is about us really totally letting go of it all.  something that I have a hard time doing.  God can help us through all things He can do all thing but He is a gentleman and will force nothing on us......  He basically says here my love i am offering this to you but i give you the choice to take it or not........  I know that iti s soooooooooooooooooo hard to give things over to God there are things in my life that even though i know they don't belong to me that aren't of God I have a really hard time letting go of it I feel like an indian giver when it comes to me giving things to God a lot of times i say here and like seconds or minutes later it's like hey wait you can't have that........  well yeah i hope this makes since to you!!  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"  it is by His power that we can over come.....  sure we still have to face so many things but when we face them (the lies and all that junk) what do we do with them do we take them as truth and not let go or do we say God what do you think or does this aline with the Character and the word of God........  there are so manythings we can ask but well yeah!!  "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed you can say to the mountain move and it will be moved"  A lot of it isn't just in saying ok God here have it i don't want it but it is in steping out and proclaming at the same time......  stepping out on water

Did you Graduate? Your College Bound?

My Oldest Daughter graduated this year.....

By The way between me you and the lamp post and nobody else invisible bubble over us here I have a special screen saver I put over us so nobody can access us xoxox are you a cutter? I can tell how smart you are... I mean you must have a very high IQ....So just to recap you never got high like me I did every single drug under the sun and drank every sing drop of booze...GOD did forgive me didn't he? I ran around when I was younger I was actually saying "HEY LOOK AT ME>>>MOM DAD>>>YOU BASICALLY IGNORED ME AS A CHILD I was invisible let me try this approach....Negative behavior is better than NO BEHAVIOR and guess what....That didn't even work...I was still nothing in there eyes....Isn't that a sad story sweetie....:(

Yes i did graduate high school!!!  I am going to college I am going all the way to kansas!!!  Well, i dig, bite, beat and it has been about 4 mths since I have burned.........  i really want to burn a lot of times but they leave scars I have 16 and i did it more then that......  i just know i can't go to college with a bunch of those on me well new ones and i know that it isn't cool having to see those scars...  i just recently started digging until there is some blood all though it doesn't show right away but i do it where no one can see it....  so well yeah.......  it took me a second to get your are you a cutter question and then i remembered what i told you but man sometimes cuting does sound good but i have never cut for blood........  sometimes i think well digging is just as bad as cutting is hmmmmm well yeah soooooo....... 

Thanks i don't think i am smart though but i don't guess i really think i am stupid either......  I actually am just average in my opinion if even that.....  but hey i guess i will know soon!!!!  I am happy to hear that your oldest daughter graduated!!! 

 

yes your story about what it was like it is sad....  didn't you ever just wish that you were invisable?  I sure do sometimes.....  well i don't think that as much as i just want to disappear........ 

 

you bet God forgave you and that is just so awesome that He doesn't even she that when he looks at you!!!!

Depression

Quote From: sweets537

yes this makes sense, its just hard for me to take that step and hand things over to God. I just want everything to go away at this point. I am unhappy in every aspect of my life, and i am trying so hard to find something positive, but i cant seem to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Yes, you know I have a lot of things that i soo do not give to God!!  I know i need to but well yeah haaa!!!  Look up toward Jesus and you will see the light........  Maybe your looking all around you when you really should be looking up to see the light..........  it is soooooo hard to believe there is a light at the end that there is a way out of all we face.......  I know i have a hard time thinking things in my life will be over........  like you i just wish it would all go away too!!!  Some much of the time i just wish i could disappear or be invisable or just go into my own little somewhere where none of it matters but if i did that well later those things would matter and be worse.......  It is very hard to give someone something you are so used to something you feel you have always known or even if it's something wrong it being something that you well you feel like it is all you have had.......  you begin to feel kind of bare or something and well that is one thing that makes it so hard because when you get rid of that you think what will i have then........  well the truth is God but well i will use me as an example I can know all of these things about God and know they are truth but what i need to do is step out in what i know.........  out of the comfort zone right off of the boat into the water and youknow if you keep your focus on Jesus then you will not sink............

 

Did youknow if you try to balance a broom and look straight forward you can't balance it but if you look up you can........  well we can't balance things on our own just looking ahead of us but if we look up to God he will help us find balance and so we can make the choice to walk in it

Depression

Quote From: psychwife2

Psychwife is a nickname of mine...and it fits in many ways. For one, I can be quite the psycho sometimes, LOL...but mostly it orginated like this.

I am married to a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and for some reason my friends are always asking ME for advice. I don't even have any sort of medical background unless you consider sleeping beside a man for 25 years a form of medical school! I was an English major, for goodness sake. But I didn't mind the friends asking advice since that's what friends do for each other. But a few years ago, it seemed like total strangers were telling me their life story...like the lady from the phone company who told me the entire story of the war she and her siblings were having over their parents' estate while I was just trying to get them to fix my phone! But the ultimate was the repairman I had called to fix an ice machine...for some reason he told me that he was finally happily married to his second wife and that he had found a great church to go to. He told me this out of the blue. Then he proceeded to tell me that he used to have a drug problem and that he was also once a male prostitute (this was your typical repairman...tool belt hung below the belly, thie visual was just too much!) But if that wasn't enough...he then tells me that his first wife left him for another woman, the pastor's wife and he added, "That's quite an insult for a former male prostitute!" I shared this story with my friends and "Psychwife" was born!

By the way, the ice machine broke down again but you can be sure that I didn't call the repairman back! LOL
heheh I like how you got your name!!!

Thanks for being a friend and it is great to meet a Sister!!!

Quote From: labelfree

like your abuseing yourself...Your temple but do you even know why? That is the miliion dollar quesation really! Why do you hate what GOD so LOVES..? Are you just starting these behavior's or have they been going on for years? Or ahs it built up to this?

By all means I am NOT a doctor at all just your friend...

truly...

Just your sister on the road of life....

Why do you think you are truly hurting you? Let me ask you in another way....If I was doing the same thing to me under the same exact conditions why would I be doing it to myself?m Please help me?

I get so angry because i know that I am abusing the temple that God blessed me with.....  I have been doing these over the years but they just have grown and grown.......  Like for the longest time I just hit or bit myself.....  then about hmmm sometime just over a year ago i started to burn and dig.........  Before any of the self harm came the eating disorder.......  I this self harm when i am frustrated, angry, ignoring hurt or whatever like i just don't want to feel.......  wheni have anxiety attacks, to calm down, for sooooooo many reason........  like when there is a part in me that wants to cry but i say no........  sometimes i really don't know why i do it.........  even the other day food of the day (errrrggg i didn't want to eat) was a healthy choice meal (i kept it but i walked 2 miles which really wasn't enough)........  anyway i was getting up and some how knocked the thing over and it had just a little bit left in it so i went to the bathroom and started just digging and digging.....  like a punishment or something it seems like when i look back at it...  ahhhhhhhh I am sooo cofused and feel so alone!!!  Well, once again when i say that I do want to say i know that God is here with me but that doesn't keep me from feeling so alone..........  i just wish i could disappear right now...  but i know tha tisn't really what i want even though that is how i feel does that make since......  nothing i ever do seems good enough for me it can always be better and actually it gets quite frustrating.....  Even not to long ago i was upset with God because He loves me so much and because He has a purpose for me so i told Him all about it i just let Him know how i felt.........  i felt bad doing it but i think God can handle us telling him how we feel.......  if someone else was doing this i would want them to know there are other ways to cry and it is good to feel things.....  i would probley say other things but yeah.......  i would tell them it is ok to mess up and not to feel quilt or shame for what they do it will only make it worse..........  don't let anger and anger well yeah i don't know......  i just want to go somewhere and hide!!!!  I just want to curl up somewhere and cry!!!

i wish i could just go hide somewhere curl up in a ball and cry..... yet at the same time i wish i just had someone to hold me...... although hiding curling up in a ball and wishing i could cry seems much better

Depression

Quote From: psychwife2

You seemed so happy earlier. Maybe you're tired and feeling a bit defeated. Get some rest and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day...
But you know what, sometimes a good cry feels good...sometimes I feel like crying and I can't always explain why. I just do it. Maybe you just need to get it all out!

Whatever you need to do, please know that you are not alone. Keep in touch!
I feel so alone though.  even though i know God is here it sooooo doesn't change the way i feel......  I don't know that i was really so happy earlier.........  a lot of people seem to always think i am happy.......  I mean it's kind of like this when it comes to being happy no matter how alone, or however i may feel i know there is this joy deep inside (don't have to be happy to know joy lives in me) me somewhere that i have buried under so many things.... i don't cry well sometimes i may but it makes me angry or frustrated or something............  hmmmm rest ummmmmm yeah.........  ooooo grrrrrrrrr i am sooooooo confused!!!!!

Quote From: acts431

Hello everyone!! I'm new to the group and look forward to getting to you you all.

I'm in the same boat. Some days I have confidence and other days I don't. Over the past few years I've gained about 42 pounds due to a medical condition. I think that has a lot to do with my self image. I was always thin and now I'm not. I keep hearing Dr. Phil say that self image and body image aren't the same thing. I hear it in my mind. But tell it to my heart. I didn't realize until recently how much my body image meant to me. In a way it's postive because it's causing meto see myself in a new light. I realize I'm the same personI always was. But my body is different. It doesn't seem like my body. It's an adjustment. Is anyone else in a similar situation?

That is so great that you are getting where you can seperate the two things and not let them keep getting together and messing with your head LOL!!!  that's just what happens they just must get together and have a ball trying to mess it all up for us and how we see ourselves hehe i am trying to think of it antimated LOL!!  I don't know why i do that sometimes but i do LOL!!!  No matter what i feel like it just happens and then if i am really sad it makes me smile cause i get kind of tickled with myself.........  i don't like what i see when i look at me but well i can't seem to really like me the other way either...........
