re: Could use some prayers or advice

I’ve been through it, in a better place now but it still lingers.

Every time I’ve followed the “what would Jesus do?” motto, it has never failed.

I’m not sure what God has planned for you, but I know you’re not alone. God will never give you more than you can handle. Praying for you.

Keep moving forward, even if it is a half a step a day. In a year you will turn around and see that you are further down a new road. Each day is an opportunity and gift to make a small improvement in your life. Prayers sent.

I've been through some shite and what helped me is to trust there are good people out there that can help. Reach out to family, friends, pastors.

Outside of that without any more info, we can't give more relevant advice.

The first thing to do is take a deep look inside and determine if there is any self-destruction going on. I don't mean just substance abuse some people just think they function better in chaos and subconsciously self-sabotage. I used to be this way because I always "needed" a problem to find the best motivation.

Don't give up on therapy only give up on therapists. People aren't a math problem to solve so a different therapist with a different set of tools might do a much better job unlocking your mind. Your therapist may have been metric and you might have an SAE mind.

The one thing not to do is give up so stay vigilant. Every second you aren't working on getting better the hole is getting deeper. There are almost certainly people who care about you and if it feels differently then it may be they can't stand to watch you slipping farther and farther away from "yourself".

We are all fricked up. The ones that don't look fricked up have found tools to help them. Search for joy, if it doesn't make you happy get rid of it.

Help others

Man I’ve 100% been there. I promise you it’ll get better. Sometimes it didn’t even make sense but I’m so thankful for the faith I had that help me through it and I know you will be to.

The only advice I can give you is to keep with counseling. Also I found a bible study and met some really great people that helped me through it.

I'm starting to be angry to the ones I love and co workers and can't stop myself from doing so. I tried counseling and it didnt work. If I wasn't a Christian, I honestly dont think I would be here right now.

First off, your fulfillment and satisfaction solely comes from Christ. I’m sorry that the world has let you down. There’s still more of his glory to see and be made known.

Second, I don’t know if this is on your radar and I hate to introduce it if not, but please let me assure you, that nobody will be better off if you’re gone.

Absolutely nobody will be happier if you’re gone.

I have a coworker that I can’t stand and does a million things that makes my life miserable and is suicidal, but I’d cry like a baby if he did something stupid.
