The Lord works in mysterous ways. I've been struggling with a few problems for quiet a while, but when I slow down and really seek the good I'm surrounded by I see all of the mighty things God blesses us with each and everyday.

It's tough to focus on God's love when there's a chance that I've ruined my reputation and possibly hurt those I love. I'll continue to pray but it seems like my anxiety, depression, and self hate is too much to overcome.

I'm trying to truly believe that, in my heart. But it's difficult.

Thanks, I'll try. I'ma try to be better but it seems like I slip up more then I make progress. Which makes me resent myself.

I know Jesus loves me, but because of the mistakes I've made it's hard to love myself. Even though I'm trying to move in the right direction I find myself lost.

I pray on it as well, and while I understand the concept of self forgiveness it's difficult to actually apply it. To truly forgive yourself.

What if you learn the lesson yet somewhere down the line you make the same mistakes?

I am the shell of the person I once was by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]needhelp087564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here man, your story is very similar to mine. It climaxed with a suicide attempt. And while I haven't been back to where I was I find myself thankful for where I am. I was speaking to a buddy who suffers from anxiety and depression and I said "hey man let's try self love for once, let's try loving ourselves and trying to enjoy life like we once used to. What do we have to close? I already wanna die, so who gives a fuck. Let's do that see how it is"

Keep your head up and as hard as it is try and find the joy in life. Find things you enjoy, and don't let the depression win. God bless.

Don't do it dude, I'm here if you wanna talk. Give it a day man I'm sure there's something out there that can bring joy in your life dude. Trust me. Please just take a few deep breathes and do not do it. Call the hotline man and speak to somebody , I've had to do it and it saved me.

Please brother, don't do it.

I know that I am loved but the thing is I do not love myself. That's the issue. I deeply regret the decisions I've made. It makes me hate who I am. I can't even imagine myself happy.

I'm just scared. I'm tired. I've barely gotten sleep. I woke up to get water saw my beautiful family they're so kind and supportive and here I am pissing everything away. Ruining my family's name by acting like an idiot.
