Never ending struggle

Restful

My entire life has been a struggle for me to cope with. I wish I could finally gain peace in my life and not have to be wondering what kind of disaster awaits me every day. On top of that, I was on a flight last week that went through a bad storm and I thought we were actually going to crash. The thing is, I realized at that moment that even though I was terrified, I was ok about not having to face life anymore. I'm just so tired of trying to keep up with all of life's demands. I can't emphasize enough how very exhausted I am mentally.

You matter Restful! Do you have any close friends or family that can also be there for you? I think that being alone when you feel the way that you do is the worst thing. I know because I've been there myself. Maybe even look into counseling if you're not already going. It helps to talk about your feelings. Of course we're all here for you as well. I will keep you in my prayers. Don't ever give up. You are loved.

Thank you Lovejourney. I have some support but usually I’m afraid to reach out for help because I feel like they can’t relate.

When I am feeling down - I turn to sources of inspiration. During these times I will ask my church and bible group to pray for me. Prayers are so powerful! Everyone needs prayers from time to time. Our problems seem big - but God is Bigger than our problems!
I also listen to KLOVE radio - inspirational music keeps me going.
Prayers for you my friend! Hang in there. Find hope by talking to a Pastor or counselor who can pray over your situation.

    It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
