Not sure where else to post this.

I wanted to share some things I've been through in my life and maybe encourage other people too :). It's kinda bad at some points but life isn't always rainbows and butterflies now is it? Firstly, I am here for anyone who may need someone to talk to. Granted I am still healing myself.

I have suffered with depression most of my life and attempted suicide 6 times total failed attempt a month ago. If you are really depressed or thinking about suicide or hurting yourself, there is real solid tangible help at: 1-800-273-8255 and you can even text them now with the keyword: ANSWER at 839863 (for anyone who is or may know someone who is, they have helped me more times then I can count) most Christians will say just pray about it, just find God and everything will be okay. While I do believe God can and does heal, depression is in some cases a life long thing and tangible suggestions need to be given. It's helping me.

Also, I have fought back from the depravity of homelessness after running away from my birth mothers abuse at 10 I was adopted at 12 but ran away twice more after that. But I'm grown and now have my own Apt! Something good I can say God has done for me is that. As well as the wonderful adopted parents I have who I know he sent my way for a reason.
If you or someone you know is a runaway and homeless try going here: 1800runaway & 1800runaway.org

Life isn't always easy, it is what we make it. We can either sit and wallow in our misery or we can shake it off and claw above it. If you hurt yourself, I'm sorry you feel like you need to hide the pain that deep it consumes you. If you delve into other sinful behaviors I'm sorry you feel like that's all you have left to turn to.

But it's not. It's really really not! I care :)

Life is NEVER easy. It is'nt meant to be lived easily. We have to make the best of what we're given and roll with the punches. As you say, hard times can beat us down or build us up stronger than ever. As a victim of life-long depression AND suicidal thoughts, I also urge anyone who needs help to contact the helplines that scarsthatbind has posted. Always remember God DOES love you, he has NOT forsaken you!! God bless you all!! :)
