Hi all,

Today i spent sleeping because I couldn't manage to stay awake that long. I Didn't sleep much last night because I was crying. I remembered a situation that was unpleasant in my past and it stayed with me. So I began to regret ever doing it. I still feel the same way but now i'm somewhat rested (over rested). The time I spend awake I still feel horrified about that memory and for some reason my head feels different, like i'm light-headed. I have an appointment at 10a.m. tomorrow to see an intake advisor for our local "helpers" here and I don't know if they're Christian or have a Christian mentality. I can't afford my Christian therapist anymore so i've been referred to these new people. My family doesn't know i'm having unpeasant thoughts nor do my church friends so I'd like you all to pray that this is the right path for me. I need to get my life back on the right path. I feel like i'm lying face down on the floor drugged up. I am at a loss in my life right now. Please pray!

Ronny

I know how you feel Ronny. Cry out the Lord! Tell Him that you want to live a Godly life and ask him to change you, and have faith that He will!

Your head feeling funny, like being light headed, or even feeling drugged. Thats anxiety. which it sounds like you have much cause to be anxious about. There is nothing mentally wrong with you, just sounds like your really depressed. I dont believe your overwhelmed with demons either.

Will be praying for you. Keep your head up. I am one who believes the devil works so hard on us christians to test us and temp us, so demons are among us. Be strong and dont fall, keep your eyes on the light of GODs word, it will surround you and keep you safe... Remember your never alone, talk to him like he is sitting right next to you. I ask him to send his angels all the time and you know it does comfort me a great deal. I know they exsist!

Although I don't feel any better physically, I do feel better emotionally. Like i'm on the path to someting good. It's a step towards fixing myself. I'm officially in an anger management class once a week and giving "celebrate recovery" a try through my church. It has become clear that support is there and capable of doing the job. It's just a waiting game now. Please keep me in your prayers. I still feel like I could go the way of permanent confusion at this point.

Yours in God,
Ronny

remember isiah 40 v 28 till the end

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. NTB TTT 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. NTB 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: NTB 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Actually, aving to pay for Christian therapists seems nearly like an oxymoron. I have been in recovery for years and I can relate to the oppression that you feel. Anger does open the door for satanic invasion if we get out of control. Actually, the Lord did it all. I used to not have money to pay for counselors either but God used that for him because only the Lord can help. I am not saying that there are not some decent Christian counselors. A church that is real should be doing it for free anyhow. It is very disturbing and odd to me if a church charges for counseling. The Lord helped me through fellowship and prayer in him. There is a false saying that "God helps those who help themselves". That is not true. God helps those who are helpless and weak. In our weakness, he is made strong. If you are afraid to tell your parents and church friends,something is wrong, not with you, but why should you be afraid to "confess our faults one to another that we may be healed".

You will make it thru, keep praying and reading the word. Also what helps me is listening to christian music, really sit back and listen...

I also find it wrong for a church to charge a fee for helping people, it is what were supposed to do. SHouldnt charge for it... JMO

God Bless and keep you safe.

This "therapist" that I had seen, discussed with me four sessions in that his fee would be billed. I told him that my coverage through insurance might entitle me to a certain percentage. I don't want to assume anything but it seems like he wants to make some money here. I then told him that the church would pay a certain amount. Later (recently) I found out that my insurer won't cover a family/couples counciller although he's a pschycologist helping me and the church offered to pay $30 of each session. I've been billed $400 and almost another $100 in fees since. I think i'm going to need therapy for my therapist. Also, I feel no better from his therapy. The last two sessions he had his student umm and awe for him and the other sessions he only suggested for me to buy books. Self-help books. I'm still willing to give him another chance though ust in case i'm jumping to conclusions here.

Call around, there ARE free counselors out there that help you. I found one myself. Also a pastor of a church usually will counsel for free too. Keep looking IMO, u said they arent relaly helping you yet your paying them . NO WAY would I continue w/that..
Good luck!!!

Unfortunately, I am unable to get counsil at church for they don't have a pastor that does that. Secondly, I've been "referred" to the free councillors through a local clinic here. As for paying him, I haven't yet, but the interest is building up. The church needs to get back to me in regards to that. Also, i'm in anger management now (two weeks now) and stress management (first week). I sometimes feel like i'm going crazy with all the things going on in my head. I hope that all this councilling will help soon. Lately it's jealously and it's troubling me to a high degree.

I'm sorry to read that you're having a really rough time in your life. I will pray for you ronny.
Don't waste your money on all those psychologist's when you have the best Psychological book of all. The holy Bible.
If you feel you are being tormented by demons and are being supressed by evil luring around you. PRAY.
You have the lord our precious savior who is ready to fight and WIN this battle for you. Jesus Christ!
Stay strong and go into deep prayer. I know how you feel for we all get spiritually attacked once in a while. But check your life, check where your weakness is. Sometimes sin is deep covered and we can't see it. Ask the lord to reveal and give you conviction so that you can get rid of whatever is that is haunting you and move forward into the brightest of lights. Our Lord.
Bend your knee's and yell to our father for rescue. Brother the lord will pull you out of darkness and regenerate your soul with the peace and love that only the holy spirit can bring. When you walk with the lord all evil departs for Good and Evil can't be in one. It's impossible.
Darkness in reality is the absence of light. Darkness can't be measured because it doesn't exist.
"Evil is the result of what happens when men does not have God's love present in his heart." Albert Einsten

That's what i'm hoping. I'm unsure on if it's me that's causing all this torment in my life. I want to do his will. I'm trying desperately to do so but my love for "her" seems to be pulling me away. I think I may have to let go more. I'm finding it near impossible to allow my feelings to appear like they don't exist. This is the only thing left to do. I realize that it's His will to bring us back together. It's just difficult to go drop off my daughter and see her there, my feelings overwhelm me immensely. I'm crying inside! I just pray that God will remedy this soon or will allow His lesson to come to fruition. Thanks everyone for the great input. Keep it coming!!

Love ya all!

what do you think it means when you miss someone so intensely that it makes you bed ridden? Is God telling me something? I asked God the night before to show me what he would like me to do so it would be plain for me to see and the next morning I was very ill and remailed bed ridden for the day. What is He telling me?

Ronny, the loss and pain you feel is as strong as the Love, even greater that Our Lord Jesus has for you. Give all of your sorrow to him as he wants you to know he will wipe every tear from your eyes. Rest in his mercy and let yourself greve. It is when we are low that he will show himself to you.Put your eyes on him. He wants you to see him. You continue to be in my prayers. God bless, pickles
