My momma died unexpectedly on 7/17/19. I am not handling it at all. I cried a lot the first few days both openly and in private. I got through the funeral. The last two days I feel like I’m having a meltdown. My middle sister and I got into a verbal argument. I refuse to speak to her. She takes no fault in this. I can’t stop crying about my momma. I miss her. I wasn’t ready for her to die. My sister thinks and says I’m having a pity party. She is playing the martyr and it sickens me. I don’t think she has ever liked me and vice versa. We have tolerated each other. Like I said I can’t stop crying and I don’t know what to do. I’ve always been emotional open with my feelings. I suffer from depression anxiety diabetes and neuropathy. I am not suicidal but don’t really care if I live or die. I need help. I am inconsolable. I can’t function but I’m trying. I have fears of abandonment and death. Where do I go for help?

Hello, The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. (Psalm 34:17-20) When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

Remember in the bible his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them. (Matthew 4:24) And God can heal you. Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10). I would like to invite you to 1 hour with God Saturday Morning on the Prayer Line @ 6am Central Standard Time. Call the prayer line @ 712-451-1202 access code 485973.

Getting up everyday is hard. The day begins with a nice cry followed by bouts of hitting myself in the head.

My emotions are all over the place. My depression or fits of anger hit like a tidal wave, and coming out of that episode just appears at the very end, right before one thinks their going to really lose it.

I have lost my mind many times dealing with this disease. I have seen the darkest tunnels and mysterious corridors of the mind. It’s like being trapped inside yourself. Everyday you must maneuver around it’s many complexities. It always fights back because as long as your in that depressed state it thrives. I’m tired of losing to this disease.

Recently I have gone through the longest bout of depression…8 months long. I don’t even look like the same person. My medications no longer work. I’m getting over a breakup. And he left me due to my depression, over text message. I’m having medical issues. I’ve lost all hope. I’ve found it difficult to find the hope in this. What I am experiencing has altered my mental state. I don’t know who I am anymore. My goals are a distant memory. This is the true definition of torture.

My whole life is falling apart. Husband without a job. I’m in a low paying job and clearly there’s no way I’m getting a promotion or anything. I work my behind off and do extra, help colleagues that struggle. But now I’m just over it all. My anti depressants don’t feel like it’s working. I can’t sleep and I feel like nothing is worth it anymore. Saw my doctor and he just doubled my mees. Not helping. I don’t do drugs or alcohol but maybe I should. I feel totally overwhelmed by everything and feel like crying all the time. No medical aid means treatment is impossible. No way out.

I feel as though many of you are talking about me. I have felt this way most of my life. This past year I got help with therapy and medication but still I find myself thinking it would be so nice to just not wake up in the morning. I have so many wonderful people in my life and so many reasons that I should feel happiness and joy but most of the time I don’t. For many many years I lied to myself and others that I was okay, that the fact that inside myself I did not feel how I should was nothing to worry about. I kept going on and playacting at being the person I was expected to be, the loving wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, coworker etc. Then my husband got sick and things just kept getting worse after that. I held it all together for everyone and I though I was doing pretty good at it until I couldn’t do it anymore. For 4 years I tirelessly helped my husband, children and family to keep going on day after day. Then one day I reached a point where I just could not go any further. Its been hell ever sense and most days I feel alone in a daily battle to keep myself alive.

I think it’s very important having others to talk to and belief in a higher power and purpose life is hard. But it’s a adventure
