I want to apologize for seeming so negative in my more recent Prayer Room threads here. It really isn't like me and I really do have a lot of good things going on in my life.

Here's the situation, though:
The stress of everything that has happened this year (cousin drama and subsequent bad situation, Handsome), my health, etc. has caused my depression symptoms to flare up after being in remission for many years. So I am going through a real hard time now.
But, I know my God --and He is faithful --so I know He will get me through this.

Please pray. Bear with me as I muddle through this. It will pass. Just have to use the coping mechanisms taught to me in therapy and find constructive things to do to occupy my mind (and stay in prayer/Scripture too, of course.)

It'll just take some time for this episode to run its course.

Praying hun. Its a hard time of year I think too which can make it flare up. I'm really glad you are being open and honest in your prayer threads. We are told to both laugh and grieve with our friends. xxx PM is always open x

Hey.... no problem...even I have my days

/hugs

Just found out that, even though I've been trying to be careful, I have overdrawn my bank account by $4.

And I don't get my next check until the 1st.

I have a dr. appt. tomorrow afternoon in Houston. I am at 60 miles to empty in my car --not enough to make the round trip. I could get there, most likely, but I wouldn't have enough gas to get back home.

I guess I could "borrow" some more money from my service dog trust fund --like $50 so I can put gas in my car and have a little in case of emergency. I just hate doing that SO much.

Gosh, I really need to do better with money. All those little purchases ($3 here and $5 there) add up quickly. I just never remember to write anything down.

So frustrated with myself.

I have a hard time sticking to budget, too. IT's always the little things that trip you up the most. Praying that things will work out financially, somehow!

And now something else! It never seems to end.

Saw the audiologist today in Houston. Results: mild to moderate hearing loss. They ordered open fit hearing aids for me. The audiologist also recommended a FM system to help me (Medicaid will not pay for it, so I have to ask DARS or the university.) The hearing aids will be compatible with the FM system if I am able to get one.

This is a lot to take in. I finally know a big chunk of the reason I've been having trouble hearing certain things in the past year. I suspected some hearing loss, but actually seeing the results and hearing the audiologist say it --whoa.

It's going to take some serious adjustment to get used to wearing hearing aids (when they come in) and all that comes with them (the realization that I do have hearing loss.) Also apparently, the mitochondrial disease that I am suspected of having causes hearing loss. So this is likely not the end of losing my hearing. Good thing I took ASL classes and have a Skype practice partner.

I know God is faithful. And He has never let me down. I am just ready for some GOOD things to happen.

Aww hun that is very very difficult. Praying for you loads and praying for help with the acceptance part. You are strong hun and you will overcome this obstacle as well. And I truly believe by the grace of God, it will be used for the good of another. ((((( ))))) Hang in there hun

Praying for ya, Sheenar!
It's in God's hands. Even if you lose hearing now, you'll get it back in heaven. (But hopefully, you don't lose it here, so I'm praying.)

Praying....I know for sure u will get through it

praying for you, Sheenar. you are going through a lot right now. i'll be praying that God provides and gives you peace and freedom from depression.
