hi all its been a while since I posted here. I've come a LONNNNNNNGGGG way:
I came from depression for those who followed my posts earlier here
1. I had a life changing religous experience- I wasn't sure what i was supposed to be doing so i started prayer, and the funny thing is god IS there for you. All you have to do is ask for his help and have faith in him. Well he helped me, he said to me- concentrate on my school work. This may not sound like much to you but it filled my life with a deep meaning and hope. I want to be a psychologist and for the first time in my life my goal is feasable. Im working hard on some corrsepondense courses and am going back to school next year. I gained tremendous perspective. I lost my father 1+1/2 years ago and it threw me into a deep depression. I thought i was wasting my life and dying from greief, but really i was just dealing with my pain. I now know when i feel down i will evntually be feeling that much better. For every up there is a down. and i dont feel depressed anymore i just have down days. I am SOOO close to average/normal functionablilty im blown away.
2. I realise that being alone isn't as bad as i thought it would be. I have faith that i will eventually meet my wife-the mother of my children. It doesn't matter that ive never had a girlfriend it just takes one. I wrote down the qualities i want in my wife, and I pray to god every now and again that we will meet.
3. I am satisfied with my shallow and apparantly empty life. My sister says i have no life- just because i really dont have any friends but that doesn't matter to me. I am satisfied with my current social status and any friends i meet next year will be all the better.
wo thats a rant
any thoughts
thanks guys for listening through my rough spots
walk in peace

Boylanpower,

I'm so glad to hear your doing so much better. Your earlier posts had me wondering how you were hanging on. Yes, God is whereever you are and He just waits for you to reach out to Him. He'll never leave you nor forsake you. Even when you're in the deepest pit, just remember that you can't get through it alone, nor does God want you to. Though sometimes it may seem like the bad circumstances may never end, what makes the difference is simply being able to have Hope. Hope that even if your circumstances don't change or if the worst does happen, God is with you. He has said, "My grace is sufficient for you". (2 Corinthians 12:8-10) Hope makes all the difference in the world.

As you start to seek out new friendships, Grant had some good things to say in the "non-existent relationship" post. I encourage you to see his thoughts as it relates to lack and abundance.

If you ever start feeling bad again, I encourage you to come back to this post and read your own words. Seeing where you were and where you are now, I think they'll inspire and encourage you because the words came from you.

Many Blessings,
Bob

Wow, Boylan, so great to hear from you. I often thought of you in the last months and wondered how you were doing. I am really happy for you that you are feeling so much better and that you have found your spiritual connection. Thanks for the wonderful news.
