You ever have those times when you just need a person to sit with you and hang out? There are obviously times when that is perfect. For me, sadly, I tend to want that any time something goes slightly wrong.

I may have a possible medical issue (may be nothing serious but it could be causing me feeling bad) and so I was freaked out a little. Then I watched a video that panicked a little. Then I restarted medication so I had a little emotional flatness, followed with random highness because of an decongestant I was taking.

The entire time I was near weeping. I want my mom. I want my dad. I want my boyfriend. Somebody. Obviously the first line of defense I implemented was prayer and that helped. But sadly it sorta shows a little more of a big issues I have.

I rely on people too much. To feel better, or to tell me I'm ok. There is nothing wrong with being alone or lonely, but I just worry that once I have to move out that I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown.

I dunno.

Bleh. Growing up.

I am 48 years old, and still go through those moments of loneliness. I don't mind having quiet time, it's just hard 24/7..when I know I have brothers and sisters out in the world!

Sweety Let me tell you something I learned and I will use Naruto as an example since you and I are such anime geeks:b
Rely on people even to help you feel better is not weakness it's strength, Notice how Naruto didn't simply rely on his own strength and notice how he became so much stronger because of others not because of himself.

Even the strongest person has weak moments but the difference between a strong person who goes by their own strnegth alone solo and one who has many hands to hold their back when they fall or are weak is the one who is alone who doesn't have those hands will fall and not get back up but when you have friends and family and God who are always there to comfort you to help you back up to encourage you to be there for you there is no limits you cannot go and you can walk that dark and painful road without fear because you know even when you fall even when you feel weak everyone and Jesus will help you back up.

Notice also how it was in acts, everyone was there for each other they all relied on each other to walk the path we as Christians walk on notice how Paul and the apostles didn't consider it a burden to build and encourage and to help everyone notice how they were more than happy to do so and notice how strong people became because of this. I myself always need emotional and spiritual support, i am a very emotional person and both God and satan know and use this about me. I am not strong in any way I have a very low opinion of myself I battle depression and honestly I am hard on myself and the first person I run to is God and he has never once let me down he speaks to me through music through movies and shows especially Naruto and I am overcome with love with strength with that fire that burns.

And because of all of this and since I always speak my heart many on cc have said amazing things about me how I am wise beyond my years how I am the most living person they have ever met how strong I am in the Lord how I shine his heart so brightly and I tell them every time it is because of God not me that I cannot take credit for any of it. The reason why his heart and light shines so brightly is because of my massive reliance on him not because I am strong or special in any way

*sniffles and hugs you silently* I am so happy I have you. Right when you said that about Paul and them in acts I remembered that verse about carrying others burdens. *laughs and happy tears come down a little* Then just now I remembered that verses about being with other people. Like the one where it says two people keep eachother warm, one can fall and the other can help the other up.

Exactly. I love how the Holy Spirit just sorta comes up alongside when we need it most but least expect it

There is a wise saying that says expect the unexpected and with God that is even more true :)
