I REALLY need some prayers!!!!!!!!
I really hope I don't ask a lot from you guys but right now I am emotionally drained. I am trying to type through tears so please excuse the typos.
I just really need to feel some support and stregnth from somewhere so I am turning to you guys. I have never had depression and really don't understand it except through what I have experienced with my mom's growing up. I am not sure if this is what I am feeling or not but I am about as down as down can be right now. So if I could just have you add me to your prayer list I would be so grateful, you have no idea. Thank you!!!!!! Hugs

Oh Shay, I would have loved to see a more uplifting post from you. But either way - I am glad that you are coming to this forum. And yes - I am thinking about you and wishing you all the best. I hope that you can pull through this. Try to do something that you really enjoy! All the best!

Shay...I'm sorry that you are going through a rough patch. Our preacher always says that there are mountains and valleys in life. If you are up on the mountain...beware, you are on your way down. If you are in the valley...good news, you are on your way up. You will get through this and you will stand back up on the mountain again!!
Love Krista

Oh Shay, I am so sorry. I am sure there are many of us here that have been in that place, including myself...and it is awful. But there is lots LOTS that can help...vitamins, nutritional supplements, meds...let someone close to you know how you are feeling. I know if feels like it won't get better, but it WILL . Come here any time for support..we care and will always be here to lift you up in prayer.
May the Lord lift the weight off your heart and lighten your load, and show you there are brighter days ahead. We love you! (insert group hug icon here..it seems to have disappeared!

You and your family are always in our prayers. And I think I do have an idea... Give me a call.

Prayers and thoughts are with you during what seems like a dark time. I'm sure many on here can relate at some point in our lives to how you are feeling. Do tell someone. There is alot of help out there for clinical depression IF that is what you may be experiencing. Please don't feel you are alone in this Shay. You've supported so many of us over the years. We are all here for you. Feel free to vent, ask for prayers, ask for help, whatever you need.
Thoughts with you today.

Ok so I am crying again. Man to see so many of you that I have been on here with for so long come to my support is humbling for me. I reall appreciate it so much you have no idea.
I am having such a time with family issues that I am in a tough spot. Right at the holidays makes it worse. I am so down about not having been at church on a regular basis like I was during the time I needed it most (our adoption process). So I feel I have let the Big Guy down, so I feel guilt when I pray and ask him for help. I prayed and cried myself to sleep last night and am hoping that He will carry me since I am too weak to walk right now. I need to instill my faith and know that He will help me as he has done so many times before.. Please I am sorry I am rambling on like this but it is just a shame that I have to go through this and alone at that. I mean my hubby is there for me but when it comes to family issues it is hard for him too. Thank you again, it mean so much to me. Hugs

Shay, I have been there and I know how awful that feeling is. Please know that it does get better. And we are all here to love and support you as you have done for us over the years. I pray that you will find hope and encouragement in the midst of the darkness you are feeling.

Shay, I've missed seeing you around here. I hope things get better for you soon. Please seek some help from a doctor, if you haven't already. I did, and it helped so much. Even just talking to someone who is removed from the situation is a good start.
Take care.
