I know exactly how you feel, I'm just getting over as well Beth, you're not alone...I would usually turn to the world to get relief, then after I finish i'm like "well what was THAT for??? Now I feel worse!!!" Whats been working for me is just praying to Jesus everytime I feel like I'm about to do something foolish, listen to some good Christian music, and separate myself from whatever is causing me to stumble, ya know?

I was suicidal too...God has so much for you, suicide is not the way out, that'll lead to more torment, just release whatever is making you feel so depressed.

I'll be praying for you :) God bless, Jesus loves you and so do I :)

I know how you're feeling when it comes to worry about depression and not having anyone to talk to. You feel so much inside, yet - when you try to voice it - it is near impossible. But, you have found a place where you can "let it out" and think it through.

Don't let yourself give up on what you believe. Sometimes it can be extremely hard to bible study by yourself. You want to talk it out, but you want an unbiased ear. God can give that to you, whether it be through personal study or by finding someone (local or online) to share with.

Sometimes it feels selfish to try to save you when everything around is falling down, but you have to be a pillar of strength to save someone else. You have to stand up and fight YOUR battle so that you can reach down and save those who you love.

Please don't give up. Think as positively as you can. Take baby steps and work each day to feel stronger and happier. Get outside, enjoy the beauty God has provided to you. You can do it!

Beth I will share some scriptures that you can go to

Psalm 139:14--you are fearfully and wonderfully made

Duet 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.

1 Peter 3:18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit.

I cannot be there for you and as we have never met I don't know all the trials you face. I do know the Lord loves you and He is faithful.

I used to dispair and let sadness cloud my thoughts. I learned to praise God for who He is--Lord, Creator, Love, Justice, all Knowing, who loves you specifically. He will walk with you and help you endure whatever is making life hard.

He will provide friends to help and if you cannot find them now take that to God in prayer. I know you are loved even if it does not feel like it.

If you are feeling like life is too hard to deal with and you don't want to live remember Christ died so that you could live knowing His love. And don't be afraid to call a friend or talk to a pastor, school counselor or someone who can help in the moment. Sometimes friends and family freak out a little bit when you feel so sad but that is because they see that you are valuable.

It is great that you wrote in and I will pray for you.
In Christ

I forgot you might try praying with a journal and writing as you pray. It helps some of us that struggle. I write poems sometimes giving my feelings to God. Sometimes focusing on Gods great and beautiful attributes.

When I was your age I struggled also because of hurts from when I was young. I know you feel alone but you are not. Jesus is holding you in his arms and will wipe away every tear. I came to see that when things are the worst it is because Jesus is working on your heart. Keep trusting in him, he is here with you. I will keep you in my prayers every day as long as you need.
God bless, pickles

I'd suggest finding some good, encouraging Christian music to listen to thats your style, and i know how you feel about people, there are very few that i can trust, but there is ONE that you CAN trust for sure, its Jesus! Talk to Him. I know it may seem like He doesnt hear you, but He does. If you get somewhere alone, like maybe your room, just get on your knees and start talking to God about all your problems...and you dont have to be all profound and dignified, come to Him like you would a best friend and release everything to Him, it works. Also whats good is to separate yourself from people who may be bad influences on your life, because negative people will bring you down and keep you down, so surround yourself with people who are going up, who are positive and not controlling. Fact is, ANYthing thats having a negative effect on you and making the depression worse, get rid of it. Ask God to help you love yourself, because suicide is based on a person who really doesnt love themselves, so when you start loving yourself, then you'll lose the desire to kill yourself.

Remember God is our strength. We can't do anything without him. Even though I'm not particularly old, I do understand exactly what you mean. I went through most of the same stuff, and different stuff. The only way I came out on top was with God. You can message me if you want, I am on here a lot. Remember that no matter what you have done God still loves you, there are MANY cases that prove this in the bible. Paul for instance, or David, to name just a few. Also Remember that with God you wield a sword sharper than any other, but without him, you carry a butter knife.
