Thank you to all of you that have left a comment. I feel an inner peace through my saddness. This site means so much to me...it's so nice to know that there is so much kindness. I love the Lord with all my heart...and i know he is with me even when he is silent. My faith is getting stronger day by day.

I am new to this web sight and I am not sure how everything works, but I really need help right now. I have decided that the best thing I can do for myself and my children is to ask for help. And I have always believed in God and go to church once or twice a month, but I think it is time that I make God number one in my life. I wat to live right through him. I need him now more than ever and I hope to find the support and strength I need here. Thanks to anyone and everyone who is here and willing to help a stranger in a time of great need

Louisa, you will be in my prayers. I am so sorry to hear about your son. Please get back on your meds though. You have got to be going through a hard enough time already. Being off your meds is not going to help you. God bless you, and I will pray the Lord will be with you in your time of grief.

Hi Louisa, I am so sorry about your son. May God help you. You should not have come off your medicationl. It's been to soon. You have not had time enough to deal with this pain. Go back on your medication as soon as possible. Find a grief counseling group in a church in your area as quick as you can. If you can't find one let me know and maybe I can help you find one. I will help you any way I can. My best friend lost her son a few years ago. He was shot while at a party. Drugs and alcohol were involved. God help the devil is at such work. email me at gsims02@bellsouth.net. I will be praying for you. let me know how you do. Gail Sims

Well hello everyone, I hope everyone is going ok. My grandkids are here visiting for the holidays \. They are 4 yrs old and 3 years old. We are having a ball. When they go home this weekend. I will need everyone of you, because I will cry my eyes out. Please pray that they will be able to come back to Georgia one day. They are in Texas now. My son in law works for general motors and I am glad he still has a job. But pray God will work a merical an bring them back home. Gail Sims

dear Loisa; I don't where you are, but I'd suggest you find the Single and blessed group site. And get a Healing touch from "Ladyhumble" page. or "River of Living Waters"

Hi Ima, Yes I suffer from depression also, I'm beginning to think theirs more depressed people than happy people. Let me tell you something Ima that just might help you. I felt the same way, Ugly, no good to no body. But, I heard a preach say. God made you the way he wanted you to be. Yes he actually hand made you. God makes no mistakes. He is the ultimate. Theirs nothing no bigger, no better, no nothing than God. He is your father he ownes it all. And he hand made you. and said, yes this is good. He made you the way he wanted you to be. And honey, he makes the best.
That's just the devil telling you all that stuff. And we all know he is a lier. He don't know the truth, all he does is lies. His business is to destroy.
Don't listen to the devil and let him destroy you. When God made you so beautiful. Just the way he wanted you. I will be praying for you. But quit listening to Satan. You make him so happy. When your so misserable. God wants you happy. So be happy. Tell the devil he's a lier. And thank God for what a wonderful person you are. Gail Sims

Hi folks, first time Ive admitted to myself that i need help> i suffer from depression< and have so since i was in my early teens from what i can remember. i'm unhappy with my body image, and my whole exterior. i know the truth in my head, the inside is what counts, but as soon as i start freaking myself out from the things that the devils starts whispering in my ear, i'm feeling like a "freak", i know i'm not, but i can't seem to shake it. i know that my low self - esteem is just the other extreme of conceitedness, it's still focusing on the "me", and i don't feel normal - i know i tend to lend my ear to the devil way too much, and i feel a lot of times that things are self inflicted for me. i feel guilty because i know i should be grateful for my life, and i feel guilty because i isolate myself, and not return peoples calls. I not sure how things turned out for me where i feel debilitated at times to get out of bed, and then when i do, i feel like a prisoner in my home,( which is weird, b/cz when i'm not home, i often dream that i was home enjoying the peace and quiet when my room mate isn't around )and i can't leave the house. I feel like i'm sick of my own company, and i don't answer the phone because i don't want to subject anyone to "me" when i'm in this state. i know i have self-esteem issues, but most of the time i function, i have family that loves me, friends that care. I can function when i'm on a roll, very social , and plenty of things to do with friends, so why am i like this? and it hits me unexpectedly sometimes. i hate feeling like i'm a whimp, i feel gulty, and i'm angry with myself that i slip into these bouts.I don't get it - but i know Jesus is the answer - it's almost a new year, and something has to change for me, sick of being sick of me. Want my joy back! I love the Lord, but God says those who do his will are the ones who love him right? Spiritually I haven't grown I feel, I'm in a bad rut!

Hi Empress, I 'm sorry to hear about your depression. I don't know what it is like growing up fat, but I know their are some some cruel people out there big and small. I different kinds of people. And don't know why they have to be so cruel. I hope we in this group can help you and your son. Gail
