I just wish God woul literally stop waking me up. My brain is broken and I feel like a failure as a mom and in general. My very last hope is medication. If this doesn't work then I'm truly a lost cause. I feel so angry at myself that I can't suck this crap up and keep going. Others go through much much worse and still able to go on. I'm really mad at myself. I do hope God is really forgiving bc I'm trying not to do "S" but I can't will mental illness away unfortunately. Hopefully he forgives. I'm hanging on a thread.

And don’t stop crying and don’t try to stop crying… You will come to an end and then simply look up and thank God for everything He has given you. Tell Him you need Him and to never leave you. Don’t you know that He wanted to give you life? Ask Him why He chose to give you life—- what was / is so special to Him that He had to create you? He is always with you. God bless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sound discouraging but to share a bit of personal experience with the mental health profession I went to a clinic once years ago. I was a wreck and was also contemplating ending my life. They put me through three separate people to screen me and concluded I wasn't bad off enough so they put me on a waiting list. I heard back from them, and they just asked if I still wanted to be on their waiting list. It was unreal. My take home is that you have to both tell the docs and screening people what it's like at its worst and then you have to make them believe you're legit. Being composed worked against me, and when I started letting it all out I had better results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loves you even when you fail. Remember to take a day at a time with the Lord's help. That's how we all get through hard times. Another thing is we must be wise in how we treat our bodies. I remember you saying that you are sleep deprived. That will mess up your brain. Before a doctor puts you on any brain altering drug, he should know you are sleep deprived. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to hug you. Go back to the doctor and tell them what your worst fears are. Let them see how serious this is. Antidepressants are very useful to give you some breathing space so you can sort out other aspects of your life. Once your mood is stabilising a bit, you can take a fresh look at your relationship with God, sort out your commitments to your family and studies etc and regulate your sleep patterns and diet. Sometimes we expect God to step in when He has already provided a solution. Go and chase up the doctor as a matter of urgency and go from there. There's nothing wrong with taking medication, if you need it. I took anti depressants some years ago and they were a bridge that helped me to get out of bed in the morning. I came off them once I sorted myself out. Antidepressants aren't addictive and can be life saving. God isnt distant, although it feels like it sometimes. He isnt though. It will all male sense when you look back. I'll be praying for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
