Lately i have felt anxiety in my everyday life. It's starting come on more and more. On top of that I been told i also have postpartum depression. I can't tell you enough how alone and scared i feel. It's starting to interfere with my faith in God. At times I feel I have none and that thought alone scares me even more. As hard as I try and as much as i've prayed I just can't seem stop feeling like this. Please pray for me I don't want to feel like this anymore, i want to be happy, i want to enjoy my kids, i want to enjoy my life again.

Please, look in the window and if it is gray, think that rain will carry everything away. And if it sun, invite the fun! You can stop depression, I have!

But I will pray.

You need to see a dr and a therapist. You also need a good support system. Do you have a church where some of the members can help you? Can you talk to your pastor and see if there is a support system in place in the church. Maybe you can get one of the other mothers or another member of the church to come over and help you one day a week for awhile. I wish I lived near you, I am not working right now and I could help. Talk to people, talk to whoever you have to. Get out of the house. Pray, and read the Bible. Read it out loud to the kids. Even if they dont completely understand. God loves you and he is here for you. msg me if you need to talk.

I was never diegnosed with this problem ,but a couple years ago I went through the same thing I wasent sure why.Today im fine and now that I look back on the situation I can see why.I was going through a transformation prosess,God had become important to me more now and I was praying for change.I had made alot of changes in my life to please God ,he had to seperate me from the world which ment -get the people out of my life that were hindering my walk with God.Sometimes God has to get us in a dark place to transform us into what he wants us to be .Think about developing film into pictures,when you take the pictures you cant see them but you know there on there right?Well in order to see the picture you have to take them to the store to get them developed,then they take the film into a dark place to develope it and when it is finished you get the picture.I hope this makes since to you ,I dont know where your walk with God is right now but if you pray for change watch out it will come better prepare yourself.Just remember God is allways changing us from glory to glory and the prosess is painfull but it will only make you stronger and better.And he allways knows whats best for us.I hope this helps you I will be praying for you,Pray for strength to get through whatever it is we must go THROUGH to come out the other side victorious giving God all the praise amen.I watch Joice Meyer.org-Ministries -Broadcact daily it really got me through alot of tough times .God bless you sister and peace be with you.

Hi Monica you brought tears to my eyes with this post. I have been through depression, and it lasted many years. It started with postpartum and I never got help. I even had suicidal thoughts at my lowest point. You definitely need to see a doctor and talk to someone close. Please tell them how you feel and what you are going through before you get too far gone. I have been suffering from anxiety these last few months and is the reason I joined this website. First of all we need to pray and have faith in our Lord. My favorite verse always helps me from Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strenghthens me. Half the battle is knowing we aren't alone. God bless you, Monica you are in my prayers.

Monica,

This is true that you need professional help. You can get meds from your doctor, no problem. What helped me was the moral support of my friends. However, if you are afraid to talk to them about it or feel like it's getting you no where, do not get anxious. Most mothers go through such things.
When I feel down, I love to refer to Isa 9: 6-7.

It was presented once by Bishop Margaret Wanjiru, and I always keep it in my heart. It truly inspires me, helps me forget about my troubles. The message is about different names of Jesus, and how we can identify ourselves with Jesus’ family.

Ex.: Wonderful =Great, brilliant
Counselor =Jesus is our therapist, He will lead us the right way, He will give us the right advice
Mighty =Almighty, can do everything
Everlasting Father shows His love for his children, lets us know He is the Father that will always provide for His children, neverending father
Prince of Peace refers to harmony, end of conflict in our difficult situations

With this in mind, know how lucky you are to have such a Powerful connection and rejoice.

God bless!
