this little light of mine..

hi all. I dont know really know what to write, but I guess I feel I need to. I don't talk/text to anyone anymore except my mom maybe once a day or every other day, and my sister occasionally. Things just aren't good. I've been sleeping about 16hrs a day. I try to sleep more because I just don't want to be awake. I got one of those "mood lights" that a book suggested. I've used it the last three days in a row. It's for like depression or people that get SADD. I noticed the first day, that I didn't even want to turn it off, but the last two days havent seemed to make a difference yet. I'm taking the supplements the author of the book I've mentioned, has suggested. Still not feeling any changes. I did cut back on that med I mentioned the last time, so the suicidal thoughts have subsided quite a bit. Weird thing is though, is that I just want to cry almost ALL the time. I know some people think that this is what depressed people do anyway, but in my case it is not. This is a rare symptom for me. It's hard for me to talk to my mom cuz I just want to cry, sometimes I cant hold it in and sometimes I can. I "stuff" it in because I know there is really nothing to be crying about. I dont know what the problem is. The only other time I had this problem is when we first figured out that what I had was depression. I went to talk to my mom and dad and started crying and couldnt stop. LITERALLY. It was so bad my mom took me to the hospital. This was like 15yrs ago so depression wasnt as "exposed" as it is today. I cried the whole time in the ER and kept telling them I had no idea why I was crying. They sent me home and I, again, would literally cry for three to four hours without stopping. I couldnt control it and I didnt know why I was crying. It could be that way right now, but I understand it more and can control it a bit better, even though I'm crying while I write this. haha
I just know that the only reason I havent taken my life at this point is because of God. I have no hope in myself but I have hope in God. I dont know what He's doing...and it makes me sad sometimes that I am the way I am, but I know from reading the Bible that God uses the most unlikely and the weakest to show how mighty He is. I just hope that I fall into that category. As always please pray for me. I have no idea when things will get better. I'm trying and always have tried to get better. I really am doing the best *I* can.

  2. Missy,
    I'm so sorry that things are so rough right now. Believe me when I say I can relate. My depression has been really bad lately too. Just hold on to God. He is always with you and He will never, ever leave you. When you lay down to sleep, tell Him that you are curling up in His lap for peace and rest. Visualize yourself actually curling up in His lap, Him wrapping His arms around you.
    Psalms 46:10 says "Be still and know that I am God..." I repeat this verse to myself all day long. It reminds me that God is bigger than any problem, any storm, any mountain I will ever face.
    Go to youtube and search for a song "Blessings" by Laura Story. Really listen to the words. They bring me great comfort and I hope it will for you too. Also look for "Held" by Natalie Grant. Those words remind me that I am not alone.
    I will continue to pray fervently for you. Know that you are a loved friend.
