Pray for me...

Postby airichan623 » Wed Feb 23, 2011 7:27 pm

So, I feel really really selfish for doing this...but I've discovered the wonders of prayer.

in a nutshell: I'm getting...depressed. very depressed. Everything feels like this sometimes, but its gotten really bad... nothing really makes me happy. my usual interests bore me. My grades, which are usually pretty good, are falling, not because of bad school work, but just plain laziness and lack of motivation to do it on time. I'm bordering on failing two classes: AP Lit and Chemistry, and I love lit. The only thing I've been able to do really is draw, and write depressing poetry, watch anime, cry, rinse, repeat. And a couple times, I've seriously considered cutting- but I know what happens to people when they do, so I didnt. I wanted/want to curl up in a ball and cry for hours. I don't want to live, and I've had some suicidal thoughts.
Probably the hardest part is nagging voice in my head that keeps telling me that, "No one needs you. No one wants you. Go away. They won't miss you if you leave. or if you just disappear. They always will tell you otherwise, because theyre nice people." Anime-Stereotypical as it sounds, I don't have a 'reason for living.'
I'm stuck in this pre-college rut of "I can't be anything great. I'm only ordinary. That's it. There is nothing more. You'll never be more than this." It doesn't help that I keep getting the feeling that, even though I'm a senior, I'm not meant to lead, though I desperately want to. [spoiler]In my show choir, I've looked forward to being a 'group leader,' at the very least in moral support and seniority control. But a group of juniors stepped in before I had a chance, and whenever I tried to contribute, I got this constant look/ feel of "Go away. You're annoying. That's just plain stupid." behind the 'smiles.' I waited 4 years to do this, and I was able to do nothing to help (the season is about to end). Then I turned to another one of my favorite things: theater. I tried out for the play, I was excited to find out I had a part. But it all turned to bitterness: turns out, I'm essentially a chorus member with a name for relationship purposes. I have no lines. They later added my line. 2 words. Even my freshman sister has more of a part than I do. I didn't expect the lead, but I wanted at least to be a minor character, not chorus. Its a hard hit to the ego when you started theater in 6th grade with a lead role, and are leaving high school with a chorus member background role.[/spoiler] (putting this rant in spoiler in order to save people time.)

And it doesnt help that I keep having 'post-depression flashback-thingies' of last year, and the issue with my druggie friend and my ex. Or that I totaled my car. Or that my parents are mad that I keep slacking when they're preparing to spend lots of money sending me to college.
---
I've talked to my parents about all of this, but I needed to let all this out. Any advice? I realize I'm being extremely selfish, but I'm have a hard time accepting life.

Awwww, well remember we really do love you Airi! You're like one of the most amazing people I've encountered in my lifetime. ♥ I'm (and I'm sure others are) here for you.

If you want to rant, feel free to send me a message, I'll respond :)
And this I pray, that your love would abound still, more and more with real knowledge and all discernment. Be prepared to preach the gospel at a moment's notice. Do you know the gospel well enough to do so yourself? Be ready.

Praying. You're a great person.

I definitely think that you should go to one of the school counselors. They might be able to help in some way, at least with the emotional issues that you've been having. I suspect that you aren't the first (or the last!) senior with depression and motivation issues.

"pre-college rut"? I've got a similar (not quite) situation (my prob is just procrastination, though, which is apparently diff than yours). I'm surviving due to God. I suggest you focus on Him. Entrust all your worries to Him. I recall a phrase my dad mentioned awhile back: "Sleep well because you got done that day what God knew you would get done." In the end, we're all going to leave this earth and it won't matter what our accomplishments were. All that rambling was just to say there's no need to cry. Cheer up. You're in God's hands. I'll be praying for you!

I'll be praying for you! And for what its worth, I don't think you're being selfish at all. There comes a time when all of us need to rant or let it out to others. I hope things get better for you soon. I know what depression feels like.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You're [color="Red"]NOT[/color] being selfish. I feel depressed sometimes too, so I can relate. But I just prayed for you Airi-chan! I think CAA has helped me deal with and be more open about my depression and I hope it does that to you too. God bless you!

Hey Ari, I can relate a bit. I've been through some similar stuff before. *hugs* One thing that helped me was just putting my trust in God with my whole life. Everything. It's easier said than done, but that's something that helped me a great deal.
Also, another thing, you do have a purpose in life. Really. God loves you so much, and you're surrounded by many people who love you. And hey, even though I don't know you so well, I love you like I would a sister in Christ.
Don't give up in life. Things may be hard right now, but keep pressing forward. Don't give up no matter what. God will always be there for you, even if it feels like He's not there, He is. Ready to hold you in His arms. He love you Ari!
And you're not being selfish. If you have an issue/need advice about something, don't be afraid to ask. Everyone needs to rant a little now and then. Hey, I'll be praying for you Ari. *hugs*
Don't give up.

Thanks so much you guys. You guys all rock. I wish everyone had a community like this.

This really helps a lot, especially since a guy I really really liked (kindly) rejected me when he found out (didnt want him to find out) that I liked him. It was kinda a hard blow at the time. but I love you all.

I can relate after being in a somewhat similar situation. I'll pray for you.
