Hello everyone,
I know that I have not written anything for a very long time. I have been extremely busy with work, signing up for college, and just life in general. Normally I write about my day or something that I think is interesting and what not, but lately I have been feeling quite discouraged lately and just kind of feel like writing about that. For anyone who doesn't know, I am a Christian, and I haven't been to Church in a couple of years (for reasons I'm not going to go into), but I stopped reading the Bible and what not for awhile...and I have definitely been feeling "weak in the spirit" so to say. So I started to pick up my Bible again and it's definitely been very helpful. Normally I'm not too open about my beliefs and all because I know that others have different beliefs then I do..and I respect that. But since this is my blog...I feel like talking about it. Hahah. (Obviously I am not going to go too deep into details about stuff and I in no way am looking to offend anyone.)
For a while now I have suffered from depression and really bad anxiety...and I do let it get in the way of my life sometimes...but I have really been trying to change lately because I know that fear and stress should not stop me from living my life. The littlest things make me freak out...stupid things. Sometimes I just feel like life is too much to handle and I just shut down and don't do anything. I know that a lot of people suffer from anxiety and depression and it really does suck. Something else that my boyfriend and I have come to realize the past couple of months is that I have association problems as well ...I don't know if there's an actual term for this lol..but for example...I went to the hospital to get my eye fixed a couple of years ago..and I came home and threw the clothes I was wearing away because they reminded me of the hospital, which was obviously a bad memory. AND! if that wasn't enough...lol...I over think EVERYTHING...I am very analytical to the point where I stress myself out and have an anxiety attack (it all ties in to each other.)
The point I'm getting to is that I know that other people have the same problems I have and I know that sometimes it gets hard to talk to people who don't experience the same things that we do. So, if anyone ever feels alone and like they can't relate to anyone else please feel free to message me. It can definitely be a lonely world and I don't want anyone to go through life feeling like that. Sometimes it's nice to just have someone to relate to ..I love to help people and listen to people so please do not be shy in contacting me.
Anyways, I'm sure I could go on for awhile...sorry if this post was all over the place and what not but I will leave you with something from the Bible. :)
"Praise be to the Lord, for he showed his wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city.....Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord."
Psalm 31:21, 24
John 14:27(NIV)
ReplyDeletePeace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Philippians 4:6-7(NIV)
6)Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7)And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
John 16:33(NIV)
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
