I have been trying to keep a stiff upper lip but life has gotten me down. I'm tired of it. Tired of being tired. Tired of being so sick. Tired of praying for energy or health only to get another disease. Tired of praying for funds to live , to do the basics, only to suffer more lack. I'm too tired and in pain to clean my house and do not have enough money to pay anyone else to do it. So I'm confined to living in filth. I hate it. There was a time when I kept an immaculate house and garden, did all the yard work myself, planted trees, fed the goats and chickens, did canning, etc. etc. I am only 45 years old but I feel like I am 95. I wish God would just take my life already. I had a sleep study done and am waiting for the results. I'm pretty sure I have sleep apnea. I wake up grasping for air so many times and I just sit up and cry because I can't breath when I'm sleeping. The weight gain from seroquel depresses me and as Jimmy Hendrix said " Manic depression's a frustrating mess." My meds are not stabilizing me yet and I have worked hard with my psychiatrist to get them stable. What is it going to take? Is there any hope? Why did God have to take away the things I liked about myself, my creativity, my productivity. I'm done. I feel like crawling under the covers and just waiting for it to all be over. Just getting a bath exhausts me. I want to be strong, thin, creative, productive. I want to adopt a child or two and be a good wife. My physical and mental health will not allow me to do any of these things and I have absolutely nothing to base a good self-esteem on anymore. I hate myself and my life. Thanks a lot God for answering all my prayers. Why did I bother?

    Dont give up, I would recommend going to a Christian church around your house and getting into the Word of God. Also, continue seeing your psychiatrist and tell him how you are currently feeling, maybe he can switch your medications to ones that help you more. There is hope, never give up, do these 2 things and I bet you will feel better. Take it one day at a time.

    Thank you. I will take your advice. I think my meds need a bit of tweaking and I need to find a church close to my house. The church I go to is so far away that most sundays I can't afford the gas to get there. Take care:)

    Thank you. I know it isn't really God's fault. I just get so frustrated. Things arent' as bad as i made them seem. The tiredness makes it hard to have a clear perspective. I do believe God will allow me to adopt a couple of kids. AFter a rough life I now have a wonderful husband who thinks I'd be a good mom. His belief in me really floors me because no one in my family of origin gives me credit for being a competant person. Thank you for your compassion.

    Im sorry for your depression and situation. I do get it, you may think God is inatentive but from what I know your heart has to be right with God first. You have a lot of resentments there which you seem to be thinking is a result of God punishing you for something, sometimes we have to get to the lowest of the low to really , honestly and openly with a real open heart truly talk to God. I went through years of depression, trying to help people, I went to the extremes and back of going out of my way to love people and all I got was a kick of dirt in the eye. I got sold out, blamed, used and abused by those I had helped and I cried and wept when everything just kept going from bad to worse. I like you was just like what have I done to deserve this? But in a moment of deep clarity and dispair I said I was sorry to God because it suddenly dawned on me that I had done a great many things which were not sensible, loving, kind or thankful. I had hurt people he had brought into my life as blessings, I had not taken care of my body and I had become wasteful and neglectful of the money, job, friends and family I had. I had not taken advantage of my blessings and put them to use because I had not ever considered them what they truly were - a blessing. I had to loose everything and be brought to my knees to finally say help, Im sorry I love you and I need you. My pouring love on an undeserving unthankful person was a clear message to me - that was how I had been with God. In that true prayer of redemption I was overwhelmed with love and new life being born into me a new and greatful spirit with a new zest for life and wisdom and friendship with God that helped me repair everyu aspect of my broken life. I was over indulgent with an appetite for everything going but overconsuimed because I was nursing an old would of deep insecurity left from divorce and feelings of worthlessness and insecurity/abandonment from Father leaving. That lack of self love can occur for all number of reasons but I had never consdiered myself selfish or ungrateful before untill that moment but God made me realise the truth about blessings and thankfulness. You have to get your heart right with God in pure raw honesty first to start making headway in prayer but that takes accountability on our part - its always a two way thing, we do our bit and God does his. We have to be prepared to do some work and then God works his magic. He knows whether we are holding grudges and resentments he sees everything so there is no point in us trying to hide behind anything. Only then do we make the progress we need. Perhaps trying to go back and establish exactly where your pain started will be the liverating freedom you need to working it through. God bless and good luck x

    there was a lot of abuse from the beginning and a bad divorce followed by more abuse from my family of origin.I worked hard in prayer to forgive them all and finally did it and repented and dealt with most of my sins. But as you say I have a deep resentment agains God himslef that I need to overcome. I try to tell myself he did not do this to me. this is the result of the actions of my fellow man. I just get so tired lately and it is hard to think positively or have a clear perspective. I appreciate your comments and will pray about "forgiving" God, although of course He needs no forgiveness. I have to accept that for now I am sick with a few diseases but it isn't permanent. I believe He will help me adopt a few kids. He lets me know when I go astray.

    I do understand, it happened to me too but you know we sometimes have to witness evil in the workd to know it exists. Those who abuse are attracted to your love and light and as they are void of or lacking through insecurity they get their hands on you and abuse you to extract your light. ie thats why peodophiles go after the purity and untouched innocence and love of a child because they live in darkness and they try to get access to the soul. I am by no means excusing it, its absolutely not right and unnaceptable but God is a God of laws and His eternal laws have consequences so breaking them has negative effects which sadly we have to suffer. Its is the failure to have God in our lives and keeping our decendents safe from evil that gives birth to a huge amount of socipaths/psychopaths who were the wolves in sheeps clothing that Jesus taught about. I understand now fully why he taught that they should be prayed for and forgiven too fully and why some have power over their enemies is because not one of us is innocent and we have to pray for the sins of our ancestors and ours which have led us to this suffering. I really started to understand it with a full heart of compassion when my daughter who is afflicted with this condition was born, she had half my genes and half her fathers who was on the socipathic scales. I read a really good book called Without Conscience and then also a book called just like his father. It is easy to be driven to distraction bring up a child who is constantly drawn in her heart to do wrong and also has limited range of emotional response. It is so easy to attack them for their failings but I have come to see it as an emotional disability and she was born as a result of my sins. I was attracted to her father partly for his looks, power, percieved wealth and I also hurt a loving boyfriend to be with her father. I ended up being abused emotionally and restricted in everything, I was emotionally manipulated into a corner about everything and eventually I cracked and had a nervous breakdown. Everything I realise I despised about him like emotional manipulation, working things to his advantage, taking credit for others work, making people think he was something he wasnt - basically all his worst qualities I displayed too if I was brutally honest with myself. They may not have been so obvious and apparent as his but they were there - God just presented me with a giant mirror image of my issues I should work on - my anger, my poor financial decisions, pretending all was ok. I had to get real with myself and not go the ways of the world. So given my choices, and now knowing that the worst offenders on the socioapothic scales have always even by parents who should love them and be sensitive to them have been called evil, naughty, plain bad ad they dont understand why they do it, they are just drawn to it naturally because its the seed of adultry with the devil and poor choices of the parents - they are equally to blame for their childrens condition and only love, God, understanding and prayer can break the hold on their souls to here their guardian angels - the matters are discussed in detail too in Lorna Byrnes books Angels in My Hair and Stairways to Heaven. I thoroughly recoimmend them anyway and you get a better understanding of God and his love and wishes but the key to freedom and happiness is taking accountability before him. God bless and good luck x
