I give up. what do I do now..........?!
Question: I cant take it anymore ) : !!!!!!
I have been stuck in a sadness that has become AWFULLY INTOLERABLE!!!
I keep hearing people say " pray,pray,pray!!"
I CANNOT pray this MISERY away!!!!! its impossible!!! This morning I noticed that this dark cloud over me has gotten MUCH MUCH WORSE!! Everything in life is so cold,dark,and grey. I am on the verge of giving up on this all. I cant take anymore crying. I cant even eat,get out of bed,bathe. I'm fading away to nothing.
Is this a punishment from God?
Has anyone ever felt this way before? How long did it last?

Those that told u u need to pray are right. Try it once and see how things turn around for you. You have to do it more than once though, and really open yourself to god and see wat wonders he might work out for u.
See your doctor. I have, and now take Zoloft. There is a way to feel better.
Get some professional help. It will do you much better than us here on Yahoo!
good luck to you. <3
See your Doctor.
Sometimes religion is not the answer.
Also, when you feel down and in miserable go out and do something for other people.
Peace.
First off all don't give up, yes it seems cold and dark out there, but there is another side don't give up.It will get better, see someone a professional. None here can really help you need to see a psychiatrist. and it is not god punishing you, why would he you are a good person.
who the heck tells you to pray? dont pray, just get around people and pretend happy, you'll see this eventually its worth it.
God wont help. Infact he isnt real,. Dont depend on it. If you do you can just get let down. Do things for yourself Maybe see a counselour. I dont believe that you need drugs to do it. What happens when you get off them? Would you fall back? Maybe. But hey I was pretty far off and i got better by therepy, then I quit it and got more better on my own. Just think you are the best and make the best of yourself Email me if youd like BB_pikachu_99@yahoo.com
No it's not God punishing you, if it were then he's a prick. I'm gonna assume you're a teenager, and that's your answer. Teenagers get all emo and lame about everything I know I've been through that. I think what you have to realise other than the fact that this probably isn't depression it's you growing up is you're so lucky to be alive, and what's the point if you're not going to appreciate it. You've been given an oppurtunity and you're taking it for granted. People get sad, and I'm not saying look at a glass half full perspective on everything because I don't know you and I don't know your situation. I'm just saying you're alive, and yer loads of bad **** happens BUT you're still alive. Why isn't that good enough? You can do ANYTHING to change your situation, but if you're not gonna bother it's all pointless. So before you go posting on yahoo about how sad and terrible you're life is try to figure out why and try to change it. Go to a doctor if you need too, but honestly we can't help you.
Yes, I have felt that way on more than one occassion. It lasts until I accept that I am making it this way. As soon as I can accept that it is my perception and not whatever is actually going on that is causing me to feel this way, then I have the ability to change it.
Jesus spoke of taking the log out of one's own eye before removing the splinter in another's. The punchline is that it is the same piece of wood. That piece of wood is what we find wrong with ourselves or the world. We say to ourselves, "They shouldn't treat me like that. I should be better than I am. I am worthless. That person is a jerk. I shouldn't have to go through this." and so on. This causes darkness to fall on our perception of the world and ourselves.
The removal of the piece of wood is forgiveness. You forgive even though you, me and the rest of the world do not deserve it. You forgive anyway.
When you forgive, you let go of the way you think the world should be, the way you should be. You put it back in God's hands. That's where real gratitude comes from. You know that you are loved, despite whatever.
I hope this helps you
Ok, so you've tried prayer, and that is not helping. Get out a pen and paper, and make a flow chart of specifics as to what is actually causing the depression. Make it as detailed as you can. The process of doing this can, in itself, be a good therapy. Self organization really helps self esteem.
Once you've identified what the exact source of the depression is, then you can better determine what your next course of action is. If you've done absolutely everything you possibly can to bring this under control, and you find that you still cannot cope, then it's time to seek some therapy.
Talk with your most trusted and respected friends. Spend some time with them. Take a few steps back, maybe start from square one. Establish a goal or two. Bringing yourself out of the depression on your own can be a gratifying and rewarding achievement in itself. But do something about it right away, and make up your mind to bring yourself out of the doldrums one way or the other.
Find strength in your self... your personality has to take control and then you can decide how you feel about the outside things. I will meditate (pray if you call it that) 4U.
