Yes, I went through some terrible times. My optimism helped me as much as anything else. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in December, 1994, and had a bilateral mastectomy on January 8, 1995. My oldest son had been having heart problems and had the fourth attack on January 9, 1995, and was in CCU on life support for 10 days and we lost him on the 19th of January that year. During this period of time, my husband was having health problems, i.e. a number of mini-strokes and later one that affected his mental and physical capacities. I had to work to support us and someone to care for him while at work. He did get a little better but on April 14, 1996, he had a brain aneurysm and passed away the next day. So, come on hon, try some fun things and get over the depression. Just remember that no matter how bad your situation is, there is always someone who has worse problems than you. I'm with you all the way. By the way, that's not all. I retired in July, 1999, and three years later my health went to pot (congestive heart failure, asthma, bronchitis, arthritis). There are a number of things I am unable to do and everyone says that I have a "weird" sense of humor. But, that weird sense of humor and optimism has gotten me through it so far. Good luck and keep us informed.
look hunni ur depressed unloved feel lonely and none will help if you dint trust yourself.
God is not disgusted with you. I assure you. You are a child of God, and parents love and have mercy on their children. I'm so sorry you are suffering right now. Know that there IS an end to the pain, and that you will come out on the other side of this. Don't give up on God...He hasn't given up on you!
If you have not yet sought psychotherapy and /or medical intervention to treat your depression, now is the time to do it. God has put these professionals into positions where they can be helpful to us.
Hang in there,

I went through the worst time in my life in the Summer of 2005 . I lost my job my car and my 16 year old son went to jail for 4 months . I ended up in a mental hospital for 5 days where I had to dry up from street drugs ! I fell down some stairs in the summer of 06 and broke my leg and had nowhere to live . I ended up begging my parents to let me live there and they saved my life and my sanity . Please call someone and get this off your chest . Get some help because you won't be able to make it on your own mentally !
No, God is definitely not disgusted with you. Most of us go through some very difficult times in our lives. Sometimes it's life events and sometimes it's biochemical imbalances that can be made worse by stressful life events.
Yes, I have gone through some very difficult times in my life. But you know, I have also come out of it, seen the sun shine again, and seen the light at the end of the black tunnel. When you're going through it, you think it will never end. But that's what depression does. It sounds as though you're pretty depressed. Get some help by making an appointment with a psychiatrist and getting a referral to a supportive psychotherapist. Make sure the therapist is a good match for you. Not every therapist is alike. They have different theories about change, support and also have different personalities. You want someone that will make you feel supported, understood, hopeful, and comfortable. Take care of yourself by getting some help for yourself. You deserve it.
Sometimes going through rough times helps us appreciate little things in life and also helps us appreciate the good times. Supportive people always help and medications can help a lot, too, if we need them. Take care.
I went through some really rotten times before I emerged out from the other side. If prayer works for you then do it but I am sure God is not disgusted with you! Do not give up!!!! It will get better, it is just a matter of time.
Try to see if you can talk to a counselor in school. There is nothing wrong with seeking help from a counselor. They may be able to help allievate some of the problems you are having.
Sometimes talking helps!

I can assure you God is not disgusted with you. Sometimes it seems like we aren't getting answers to our prayers because they may not be the answers we want. Everything you go through will make you stronger. Just hang iin there.
I just got out of a very sad 11-year marriage. Stayed 9 years longer than I should have. I know I cried gallons of tears over those years, but I'm moving on with my life after realizing that I would never be happy in my marriage, and filing for divorce.
I've personally also found that many times when I've gone through something difficult and am not sure why, very soon after I have someone confide in me, or I am placed into the life of someone else who is going through the same thing. When that happens, I can tell them that I DO know how they feel, and I am able to help them from a personal level. In a nutshell, I try to find a way to make my experience helpfull to someone else who is going through the same type of thing.
I sure hope this helps. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and usually it is not a train. It may seem hopeless now, but I've always come through somehow. Hang in there, try to keep yourself engaged in things you enjoy, spend time with those you care about, etc.
Best of luck to you.
Yes, I've been through hell and back. Took about a year. I waited too long before I sought help.
I don't know how long you've been in the hole, but you are miserable and it is unbearable; therefore, seek help pronto!
I strongly advise seeing a psychiatrist. They are knowledgeable in psychological problems and are medical doctors able to prescribe medication and also know what your physical body is experiencing due to the stress put upon it.
I always say a psychiatrist first. Therapists and counselors are on the bottom of the totem pole. Not that I'm saying that they don't serve a purpose. But, I prefer going to the top when in duress, and not waste any more time in agony.
Go make an appointment with a psychiatrist asap. I can guarantee that you can come out of the emotional pain you're in. Go make that appt.
yes I had bad times but I live by the saying, "after the rain the sun will shine and a rainbow will appear". And it is always true each time I go through bad periods in my life! Watch and see GIA!
Keep your head up and pray, find some honest friends. I have a baby kitten who always perks me up, she loves me no matter what.
Dear Gia,
I have answered a question of yours before; some three weeks ago, It was, "I don't want to live any more?" I think I gave you the number 1-800-SUICIDE. The answer you picked as best was a long exhortation to stick with and trust in God. In this question you state "Prayer is not working for me?" It hasn't worked for three or more weeks has it?
In fact it hasn't worked very well for me ever and once in answer to a fervent prayer asking, "God, what can I do?" I heard a loud chorus of angry male voices say, "KILL YOURSELF!" That was my low point; my state of extreme misery. I don't really think God answers prayer very often and it is not because he is "disgusted with you." It is because he has given you so much already to make it succesfully on your own, a fine body, good mind, and a planet that provides (with a little effort of your own) everything you need for life, sunshine, rain, clean water, food, air and a climate that is temperate, He wants you to use these gifts and adapt to change using your God given intelligence.
I would like to suggest since it has been so long and you are still suffering that you seriously consider changing course. I think depression is a God given signal to change course, find a new way, when things become bad for your well being, There are no magic cures in prayer, drugs, alcohol, medications or therapy other than becoming positively optimistic and doing something to change your situation.
When things get so bad as you describe in these two posts they can only get better but you have to find a new way of doing things.
Good luck with your new plan, good mental health, peace and Love!
