[Guest little_lamb]

* have u ever felt so alone, that you wanted to cry your heart out but no one is there?... i think im falling into profound sadness.. i dont know what to look forward to each day.. like nothing is in place.. there isnt a silver lining i see..

Dear LittleLamb,

Yes I have felt that way - very alone with no one to turn to. The person who was supposed to be my mate turned on me - my friends were so far away and had no idea of what I was going through - I was so depressed and hit rock bottom. Then I turned to someone whom I didn't know at the time but have heard of Him and He, Jesus, changed my life and my heart around. He is the one friend on this earth that you can count on if you will give Him a chance. People may let you down, even your family but God will not. If you're lonely, tell Him and ask Him what His will is for you. Ask for understanding and peace.

I wish I could talk longer but I have to go home. pm me anytime.

Yes I have been there, lost everything, without anyone to talk to.

What is going on in your life that you feel so bad?

Hey!

I know exactly how you feel, more than I wish I did. Based on my own experience, it sounds to me like you might be falling into depression. Depression comes in different degrees, and some types can be more serious than others. The types to be concerned about are when it's chronic (where it seems to be a mindset and a lifestyle) and when it is a Major Depressive Episode (where, among other things, suicide is looking appealing).

I know that circumstances can be the culprit as much as anything else for your feelings. But if your condition is such as mentioned above, there are some good Christian counselors out there that are trained in helping you get through such. And realy, when it does get to that point, you do need someone to help you out who understands what you are going through.

If this is a new feeling, just because you have no (supportive) family and friends around you, then this is your time to find Jesus. That is, finding Him as your strength, protector, friend, and lover. Not that you shouldn't be relying on the Lord anyway, but our lives are like a journey,a nd sometimes that journey takes us into a desert - lonely, dry, desolate. But when you've come to the place of being able to find those pools of water in the desert, and when you can learn to see the beauty in the desert, then it's not quite so bad. You'll come out of the experience stronger and closer to the Lord than you ever thought possible!

Blessings!

Hi Sweety

I totally understand where you are coming from I have felt that way many times. I even feel that way today a little. My situation is chronic depression, I was diagnosed a few years ago and I'm now on medication. It helps alot but I still have bad days and it doesn't take much to set it off, believe me! But because of the medication I'm on I don't go so far down into the pit of despair anymore. Thank You Jesus!

I'm really not exactly sure when mine began, maybe when my marriage was breaking up but it did continue to worsen over the years. I actually attempted suicide a couple of times because I could see no way out of the blackness. But obviously God wasn't finished with me yet! And its never the answer anyway it leads to nowhere and alienation from God. And besides a half hour to an hour later you may feel totally different and by then its too late. It came to a head a few years back I was having a whole bunch of people over for dinner and I should of being feeling happy and excited but I felt miserable.

I spent the whole day crying on and off, in my mind I was saying I can't do this anymore I want out permantly. But for some reason that day I got on the bus and went to the emergency department instead. I really don't know how or why I made that decision that day (I do now though it was the leading of the Holy Spirit) because I was completely on auto-pilot.

Anyway I got to emerg. and I was crying so hard I was incoherent but thankfully the nurse was on the ball and she called a doctor and then they took some tests and then they brought in the on call psychiatrist and he took some tests. He spent alot of time talking to me about my feelings and then he wanted to admitt me, well inside I just freaked thinking oh know here comes the padded room and the restraints! :oww: And, I thinking I can't do this right now 'I've got people coming for dinner!!' The doctor said whats more important your health or your dinner? I finally was able to talk him out of admitting me promising to call my doctor and set up an appointment. He also asked me questions like 'What day is it?' Who is our Prime Minister, When is your birthday?' I guess I got the questions right cause he let me go!! So I went home and had my dinner party went to a club that night and hated every minute of it, because inside I was dying.

I did make an appointment the next day with my family doctor by then she already had the report from Emerg. anyway. So she tried me on several different medications and strenghts before we found one that. Wow it made all the difference in the world to me I started feeling better, I could think clearer and I was able to cope with life around me. To me it was a miracle!

Over the years though I've gone through some different anti-depressents because for one reason or another they stopped working. And man alive did I know when they stopped working I could recognize the signs now.

Not I'm saying that you are clinically depressed sweety, but it sure would be worth checking it out with your doctor. There is help out there you don't need to suffer with this, it is an illness and its nothing to be ashamed about, millions of people around the world suffer with this. Also councelling is a real good idea whether its with a pastor, minister or someone from the hospital, it sure did help to talk things out with someone who is not involved in your life and can listen impartially.

I found out alot about myself through those sessions and I'm so glad I went. So you see sweety all is not lost, there is help out there you just have to reach out a hand and asked for it. One of the first things I learned is that no one can help you it they don't know there is a problem or what the problem is, you have to make that first step. And I know you can do it Little Lamb I have every faith in you! You are precious to God and He wants to restore you to a healthy happy child of His! :t:

And you have our prayers and our support, thats what we as Christians are required to do support one another in His love. You are a wonderful person Little Lamb and you are worthwhile and God has big plans for you soon, just reach out and and ask Him to lead you to the right place where you will receive the best councelling and medical help. Can you do that Little Lamb, make that first step? I am praying for you and if you need to talk further you can send me a PM ok?

* have u ever felt so alone, that you wanted to cry your heart out but no one is there?... i think im falling into profound sadness.. i dont know what to look forward to each day.. like nothing is in place.. there isnt a silver lining i see..

Why feel this way? What about Jesus filling that empty space? Jesus is always with you even in your saddness!! When you are sad Jesus carries you in His Precious arms of love. In your days of joy, he walks by your side. Jesus is the only one that can take the saddness away!!

You can get all the adive possible from ppl, but in the end, you will never have peace without Jesus help!!!
