You asked if there was anyone out there that was religious to pray for you. I will pray for you. Dont worry things will get better. I dont know if you are religious. Im thinking you believe in God if you asked for someone to pray for you. The almighty said in scripture "I will not leave you orphans i will come to you" He is saying we are not alone. I suggest you take some time out to pray. It doesnt have to be fancy..just get on your knees and tell the almighty to help you..tell him that you are afraid. He knows you well... for created you. Dont worry...the almighty Lord will not give us something we cannot handle. I leave you with a scripture:

 

 

God said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when i am weak then i am strong! (2 Corinthians 12.9-10)

 

Proof that the almighty has heard your cry for help is me writing to you. He is merely using me to let you know he knows how much you are suffering...and to hold on... he is preparing better things for you.

 

GOd Bless you!

Wow, Reading through that again brought back some memory's, Just thought I would come back to say How far I have come since then, I wont lie and say I am emotionally not scarred because I still am and will be posting my new dilema which is nothing compared to this in a new thread, but I think the problems I went through then are effecting me now so will be refering back to this, Once I again I must thank you all for your help when I really needed it, If it wasnt for you fine people I dont know what mess I would be in,

 

The journey from here was a very rough one, I stopped taking my meds and hit the bottle and the cannabis like there was no tomorrow, this made things so much worse for a while, and took me over a year to snap out of,and a few months later a 6 month relapse, if anyone is going through a bad situation PLEASE DO NOT DRINK,

 

never got to ordering the books that were kindly mentioned on here and have just been contemplating buying some books as I need some help within myself still .... any way a new thread is in order (nothing compared to this though, I feel stupid over the new one lol)

Realy starting to feel suicidal dont know what to do its getting worse every day cant take this burning! so weak right now! crying 4 help !

 

Easy does it. Listen, you have to be very careful what you tell yourself--that is why I didn't call you by your screen name. There are external things out there that are legitimate reason for hard feelings and worry. Then there is how you manage your perceptions and whether you can master your feelings or just be a hapless subject of them. I have been on Prozac for my "issues" for many years and I have some disturbing stories too. But I realized I was part of the problem--not the cause but they anger I entertained and the cycles of repeating my frustration and telling myself negative messages were my part of making my disappointment with my broken relationship a worst case scenario. You have to disengage from this negativity no matter what else anyone else does and you may need medical help like me to achieve that. I have learned to think faster than my feelings can affect me and therefore choose "how" to feel and what proportions to feel. I could not do this on my own. Nobody could even teach me. It just became clear to me after a while of taking my medication and seeing how much more sorted out I was. No matter what anyone one else does, you have to take responsibility for your reaction to it. It's not an admission of guilt or blame to get help from a psychiatrist. Many, many, seemingly strong people are actually fragile when it comes to relationships. Get some help and stay in touch. It takes time to work. Good luck.

Thanks for your response FF.... This first post was in 2009 but I came back today after a long time to just say I am over the worst of it all and come along way, I very much appreciate your concern and luckily for me I snapped out of that way of thinking,

 

thought maybe an update would help others to let them know things do get better ;)

 

I also came back with a new post today http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t312850/ which is a very simple problem compared to the one I had here in 2009 But the reason's for my new one I somehow cant help but think its to do with unresolved issues from this first post!

 

once again thankyou
