I've been feeling very empty lately. I miss music so bad, but can't find my way back. I can't even listen to music without crying anymore. Anybody who knows me knows that it isn't like me. I hate my life, basically. It feels like I keep running in circles and can't get out. I hate my job SO bad. I'm transferring stores, but I can't take it. I hate the company, but I can't get out because I don't have a license and won't for a while. Even if I did, I don't have a car. I can't afford one and won't be able to afford one for a year. Maybe more. I'm going to confess that I have had suicidal thoughts lately. I'm losing faith in God and I just don't know what to do. I can't escape my mind. I'm always stuck there. I feel like I'm never gonna be myself again and I can't bare that thought. I haven't talked to my parents because every time I bring up that I'm not happy, they say that they don't know what to tell me anymore and they can't handle it anymore. I don't know what to do. My friend is trying to help me with my music career, but I just can't find the motivation to do anything anymore. This isn't like me and I don't know what to do. I've prayed and prayed for the last year and a half and this stupid anxiety and depression aren't getting any better. They're getting worse. Especially at night when I'm trying to sleep. I rarely get sleep anymore. If I do, I don't fall asleep until 5 AM or whenever the sun rises. I'm exhausted and my head literally hurts. It feels like I have a tension headache 24/7. I don't know, guys. I just don't know. I'm usually a very happy "look at the small miracles" kind of person like the guitar and vocal lessons I have been taking lately, but those just seem so small and I don't know.

Not getting enough sleep can certainly affect all others areas of your life, especially
emotionally, and there are many remedies you can try to help you fall asleep as well
as stay asleep. Speaking of sleep I really need to go to bed, but please do check the
natural health section of this site, where there are a few threads about getting proper
sleep. There are also many others struggling to find their proper balance in their
Christian walk. Trusting God may sound cliche, but the more you turn to Him and
really rely on Him the less you will feel a need to live up to some unknown and
unreasonable expectation that puts demands on your life to be something you are not.

Blessings to you!

Sure I'll pray for you. If you find sleep challenging, I recently opened a thread inviting members to post different ideas about how to get some sleep. It turned out to be a substantial post and you can gain some really good ideas for some rest.

For anxiety:

To the most powerful help of all: Prayer!

Dear Lord;

Please give your helping hand to this girl with her sleep, anxiety and her work challenges she faces every day. The enemy has really gotten to her. Remind her of your powerful message in your book and have this resonate with her mind, body, heart and soul. Give her peace of mind lord and work your will through her circumstances, giving her strength and peace along the journey.

I empathize with you so much , sister!Depression and anxiety are brutal!I can talk from experience.
I also know what it is like to be stuck in a soul destroying job when one has wishes for much better prospects .....I was stuck in cafe jobs for years when all wanted to was go to art school in London and live my dreams.

Let me pray for you now:

Dear Lord,
You know our greatest and deepest needs.
I commit my sister to your care and ask that you will meet her right where she is at.If you are weaning her off lesser dreams and revealing yourself to her through her suffering , then help her learn to trust you trough this trial.
However , please do include comfort and some relief soon, Lord.
Your ways are not our ways and your thoughts are higher than our thoughts.Help us to trust in your goodness no matter what fresh trials we go through...wether they be sickness, lonliness, dissatisfaction or any other misery.

Thank you for hearing this prayer and for taking care of this sister.
In Jesus mighty name,
Amen.

Lord, I pray this person would draw nearer to Christ and the Holy Spirit inside her would bear the fruit of joy and love. Help this person to love embracing every day she lives and cling to what is good and right. I pray she would experience a rush of energy when during her days and enjoy peaceful sleep at night. Thank You, Lord, that You so deeply care for and love this person and that You concern yourself with even the small details of her day and every disappointment she goes though.In Christ's Name, Amen.

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered... —Luke 12:7
