Thank you so much. :) You are right.
Thank you. I really feel better and I appreciate all of your encouragement. FR is a wonderful place.
My prayers are with you and your family, and with everyone that cared enough to read and reply to me. It really means a lot.
As my Mom would say, Tomorrow is a New Day. :)
xo to everyone. :)
My best to you and your family.
Dang it, Proud American. I don’t know you...wouldn’t know you if we passed on the street.
But I will promise you...I will worry about you all night. And tomorrow and all the tomorrows.
Dear Lady, praying now and will continue for you, for comfort and courage and strength for you to face what’s happening and to win. Please do not consider hurting your family and friends by leaving them. Your Mom was right, tomorrow is new day and every new day brings it’s own miracles. Please PM me if you want to talk.
Call your doctor right away. If you are on melds that are severe enough to keep you from driving, I promise you THAT is what is causing this.
I’ve been depressed to a similar point. Meds are wonderful, but they can cause some real confusion and worsen your depression.
You were not put on this earth to bail out. You have much to do, and many want to share your life.
Call someone, anyone. Be honest. Tell them the truth. Get out of that house. Stop being alone. Reach out in person, you will be shocked at how many people care and WANT to help.
You are not alone, and you cab beat this. I did. Anyone can.
I forgot to suggest that you get close with Ellie-my Husky girl is 16-so she was already old when all this went down in my life a couple of years ago-but she was right beside me, along with the cats-she still is. I don’t think I’d have come through without my pets-and I’ll always see that they have the best I can afford-and all the attention they want as soon as I walk in from work.
I meant to send my response JUST to you (privately) but must have checked the wrong box. And now it went to everybody! Awww well, perhaps the Lord wants everyone to see it. I also tried to send this post to you privately. I must be tired and just not doing it right~ So here it is for all to read....besides I wanted to say to EVERYONE that it was wonderful reading all of your inspiring, uplifting, and many God centered posts.
Julie, I read that one comment that made you sad, that was kind of negative about your post, the one who commented on the title. Don’t fret one bit about that comment. You reached out to us and that was wise.
I think because you wrote to all of us, it shows you really do want to live.
My brother and I talked of the topic of suicide when we were younger. He told me it is such an unnatural thing to do. Look at all the animals in the animal kingdom. They fight for their lives. They naturally fight to live. And so that is exactly what you did by writing to us. You are fighting to live. And because you brought up this topic, I am positive you helped a lot of people.
While at your post, many stopped looking at all the reasons to be frustrated and upset about things going wrong in our world...we stopped complaining, arguing, and being angry for a moment and focussed on doing something good. You caused others to be noble and fight for a good cause. And it was interesting reading the comments. I am not saying this is good that you are feeling low...not at all. I wish for you to feel God’s loving, Fatherly, beautiful arms around you. I wish for you help in all the areas you mentioned.
I’m just observing that you are a smart woman to have reached out instead of carrying through with the depressed feelings.
You were brave to reach out to us and you are brave to continue living though life can be very hard.
More promises from Your Heavenly Father:
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Cast your cares upon the Lord, He will sustain you. He will never let the righteous fall.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Take care of yourself Julie. Life is worth living. Please write if you have any questions or want specific prayer. : )
