So DEPRESSED!!!  |
|
If things weren't bad enough already one more thing happens yesterday. Just one more thing that we can't afford, but are gonna have to pull money out of thin air to have done because it's gonna have to get fixed. I'm just DEPRESSED and so FRUSTRATED about life in general. I am almost to the point I want to end it all. We need prayers and a huge financial miracle from God or we aren't gonna make it.

4. AmbiePam (15275) | 11 months ago | Is there anyone who could help you? A church nearby? I know a lot of churches who help people out that are having trouble, financially or otherwise. I'm sorry I can't be there to help in person. But remember that you are very valuable, and no one on earth could take your place. And we all need you to be who you are. So don't end it, OK?: )

5. derek_a (5090) | 11 months ago | I have been where you are many years ago. I was a pro. musician with a young family and a lot of bills. It was the time of recession then too. I had taken on an extra job during the day (as well as my night-time job), so help pay the bills. I was in sales for a large confectionary company and they went bust. On top of this the club where I worked cut the number of nights to just 3 at weekends and I remember waking up in the early hours of the morning thinking, "we're not going to make it!" - It was like a night terror.
I talked to a friend of mine who was really into astrology, and he didn't give me a reading or anything, but it was just something he said that made me pull myself out of my fear and despair. He said, "none of us on this earth are asked to deal with anything we can't handle".
I first of all wanted to just dismiss what he said, but it seemed to stick in my mind. Things continued to be hard for several years, but my attitude changed from one of resistance to one of acceptance and resolution to my predicament. And I think my friend was right.. Something always turns up, and I endeavour to see that as one door closes another one opens. We always "make it". There is no alternative really.
I have since become a therapist for the last 30 years and realise even more now how important it is to change our focus. Because when we change our focus, we change our moods.
Best wishes Derek:-)

OURDEW (2391) | 11 months ago | Thank you Derek, with the hard times we are going through, reading this may really help me. Thanks again!

valerie37 (444) | 11 months ago | Thanks Derek. It's just that before what happened yesterday I was already feeling that things couldn't get worse and guess what. They did. I'm one who usually tries to see the posistive in everything but it just gets reall hard when it seems like everytime you turn around it's always something else.

heavenschild (1716) | 11 months ago | Thanks so much for posting this Derek and it is so true!
The same is in the Bible saying that "The Lord will never give you more than you can handle" I have often told myself this when I wondered how on earth I was going to get through certain times in my life!
I figure I must be an awfully strong woman, for all that has occured and is still occuring in my life over the last five years, to have with stood it all...so much stuff but I am still here and my family is still here and we have made it this far so I know that the Lord will see us all the way through somehow in his plan and his timing!
Thanks Again! ~Heavens~

derek_a (5090) | 11 months ago | Yes, that seems to be the current way of things right now. Just as we think this is it, some other great catastrophe comes along. I feel that whatever is happening to the World's problems right now it is very persistent, and it's effecting everybody's peace of mind and confidence. It is quite likely a lesson that we are all engaged in learning, but if we could know exactly what we were supposed to be learning about, it wouldn't be a real lesson and it would all be pointless. Maybe a test is a better word than lesson? I don't know, but I can share my thoughts with you all for what they are worth...
I meditate every day and current world problems are something that manifests in my awareness as a variety of different, smaller concerns - it could be my health, or what may happen to a few friends I have who are currently going through some dangerous illnesses or if the cat is OK and not been run over! Whilst it can be very uncomfortable, I can see more and more correlations with what's happening with the rest of the world.
I am a Zen practitioner and in Zen it is said that all is one and there is no separation. Now I am finding it fascinating to see how everything is linking up together. This seems to make the anxieties and concerns far more manageable. We are all much more than what we think we are, and we are definitely stronger than we think we are.:-) Derek

8. fec139 (688) | 11 months ago | Hi! I am concerned that you are having such suicidal thoughts. You need help right away! You can call a suicide hotline, or if you are a member of any religion, please see a clergyman right away. You are beyond depressed. You are having thoughts of hurting yourself!

9. Thoroughrob (7879) | 11 months ago | I am praying for you!! Don't even think that way. There alot of people in the same situation that you are financially. Have you tried doing a few things online to help just a little? Surveys, and things like that? They are not fast money makers, but can help.

valerie37 (444) | 11 months ago | Thanks Rob. And yes, I've been doing every survey I can find lately

10. shaggin (729) | 11 months ago | I know just how you feel. Right now money is really tight but that isnt even what is causing my depression. I have clinical depression that I take medication for. That is the majority of my problems but my husband has been horrible since he went off his mediciation. He belittles me all the time. I can't ask him a question without him telling me how stupid I am. How am I going to learn anything if I ask someone a question and instead of telling me the answer they just tell me how stupid I am. My husband isnt that smart either he just thinks he is. He is out working everyday while I am home with our children so he hears and learns more then I do while being home all the time. He sees a lot more people as well who he learns things from. I have decided rather then put up with his remarks I just wont talk to him anymore. What a lovely marriage when you cant even talk to your spouse.

valerie37 (444) | 11 months ago | Oh I know I've been that way because of problems with my husband before. Actually I've been on zoloft before myself and it did wonders for me, but I just couldn't afford it.
