Praying for you in the Spirit, skylender. May the Peace of God be upon you.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
-John 14:27

I'm pretty sad/bummed right now. I don't want to go into it (really tired and not really wanting to talk), but please pray for me.
It's just an accumulation of all the stress/badness of last week and something I just found out tonight that I was not expecting. Also from not being where I want to be in my recovery --some anxiety about being able to walk again --I'm trying, but I just can't take a step on my foot--it's depressing b/c I value my independence and I am just so darn helpless! Also, I don't have an accountability partner anymore (the something I wasn't expecting was for her to leave so suddenly). Just wondering where to go from here.

[Kunoichi]

Sheenar,

Trust in God for your foot. As hard as blind faith is, well God is there and he will work through you no matter what!

If you need an accountability partner, not sure what it is for or if I can even help in this area well if you need me, please just PM. If it isn't something i can do for you, well I pray God will put someone in your life that will!

And Sheenar, you are never helpless! God is good, he will not leave you nor forsake you *smiles* and if you can't walk, then he will carry you.

For my own, well praising God cuz I haven't sleeped overly into depression for 2 weeks, had my moments but they quickly passed. That's the longest ever! God is helping me with some things but blind faith and trust is very hard and well just praying I stay strong in the Spirit.

I second that. Sheenar, to Kunoichi you listen.

I'm suffering from senioritous at the moment, and while it's not serious to the point where I want to kill myself, it's serious to the point where I really can't get myself to do what needs to be done (like studing and such)...Then it just makes me feel bad knowin I didn't do what needed to be done.....

[Sheenar]

I understand how you feel, Danderson. I am suffering from that myself at the moment (but at the college level:P ).
I just have to make myself suck it up and do my work even though I don't want to. I've worked too hard to quit now --it'll all be for nothing if I don't persevere to the end.
Just keep working and it will get better! When you graduate, you will be glad you kept at it!

[Kunoichi]

hey guys,

need some prayer...going through major depressive hits and misses....very tought at the moment..severe anger to severe suicidal. please pray

[GeneD]

I'm pretty discouraged at the moment concerning what I’m studying at university since I have a practical (laboratory work) class that runs from 2:30 till 6 on a Friday afternoon and it's causing me to start me weekends absolutely exhausted. This obviously doesn’t make it easy to get my homework and projects done and get refreshed for the next week. So you can pray for God’s grace and strength on Friday afternoons and over the weekends for me.

[Sheenar]

Yuck! A 4 hour lab?!? I'll pray for you Gene. I know how those labs can be...
Let us know how it's going now and then, ok?

[meboeck]

*sigh* I thought it was over and done with... I've dealt with depression before, and I'm really struggling again. I'm going to be going back on meds soon, which I really didn't want. But I know I need it so I can get stabilized. I have a few days that I'm doing just fine, and then poof, everything changes. I get lazy and unmotivated, and I feel like I'm not going anywhere. My sleep gets completely off. I should have been alseep two hours ago, but I just wasn't tired. Two nights ago I was up til 5am just because I wasn't tired.

On top of all that, I just got in a relationship that the girl pretty much initiated. I like her, and I like being in this relationship, but I don't think I should be in a relationship right now. And I don't have the faintest idea how to approach that situation. I don't think the situation is actually quite as bad as this post makes it sound, but at this moment I'm just feeling really stressed and a bit overwhelmed.

[Kunoichi]

meboeck,

simply be honest to the girl. If she really cares about you, then she will accep it.

***

depression is hitting me hard...its making me unmotivated when I need to motivated right now! i'm lashing out on someone I care about..I do not know if it is selfish but he is doing things that are making me SO mad! and yet he does it in a way cuz he cares but...sigh* its a long story.

Please pray!

Perhaps talk to this girl about your stress, but not in the context of "not wanting to be in a relationship". Perhaps this relationship can be helpful. Especially if it is done in the spirit of true friendship. Hang out and have fun together. The other stuff can come along later.

I've found in my life that the girls who asked me out were, in general, a pleasant surprise. I married one of them, too.

[Kamille]

I'm praying for you, Kunoichi.

Let the peace of God rule in your hearts. - Colossians 3:15.

[Kunoichi]

[JesusFreak84]

Been clinically depressed before. Meds and a psychiatrist made it worse. Need to get through my final semester of college.

Prayers, kudasai. (Yeah, that's probably not grammatically correct...)

[Taliesin]

I've been pretty depressed recently. A lot of issues right now, but nothing really serious. I just don't see the point. Prayer please. If you want to know exactly what my issues are, read my LJ. http://xaxto.livejournal.com/

I found that keeping oneself busy is the best way to forget about depression. Music helps too. I will bring my depression to my grave after I have fulfilled my duties. However, it isn't too healthy to indulge too much into work. I have been staying up late working on assignment (I don't even need to have it finished until next week), drawing pictures, and playing wesnoth. A good rest is the most important, which I got today with a wonderful dream about dying grandpa. At least it isn't about lesbians like my previous dream >_<.

I'm glad you got enough sleep. I know all about sleepless nights. However, I don't quite understand what you mean by "bring my depression to my grave".
