sigh, I never thought I'd be saying this to you guys. Never in a million years would I have seen myself in this situation. Over the past week... something strange has happened to me. I have started to get depressed with my life. Like everything i want so bad cant happen. Like I'm good for nothing.

I've always been one to see the good side of things. to see the glass half full and all that.... but even after i have said to all my friends that I wouldnt give up on life or lose that passion. I can feel it being dragged away by something i cant figure out what is. It's like something is sucking the will out of me.

I'm talking to God about this of course... but I just cant get the feeling to come back. That feeling I had even a week ago... that i could persue my dreams and even if things worked out I'd be happy. I guess I'm getting selfish. I even yelled at my gf and talked selfishly to her.

so i guess all i can do is ask for your prayers...

thanks guys.

I'll be praying.
I know how this can be. I tend to get depressed with life more than I should.
Though I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but I've learned not to trust my feelings when determining the quality of life. They go up and down and up and down, etc. One day, it'll be awesome and I'll feel super close to God, the next, it'll feel like life's not worth all the trouble and God will seem so far away.
Though, unlike feelings, God never stops loving and never changes. And His will for your life never wavers. Putting your trust in Him will not always make you "happy", but it will be able to give you peace about the future, at least.

*hugs* Hope things look up for you, bro.

Hey TG, I just want to say that I really can relate with your situation. A lot of people your age go through a time like this. Let me tell you, Goldy is right. God has a plan, and although everything in your life may change, He will always stay the same loving and wonderful God.
There's this book I want to reccommend called "Do Hard Things". I've read some of it, and it's quite good. I'll be praying for you okay.
Also TG, you are loved so much. I know that when I was feeling down like this, what helped me was knowing that I was loved. Because, God really does love us though other people, and it's so obvious when we see it.
We really do love you so much TG.
I'll be praying for you, okay.

i'll be praying for ya, man

TG, you aren't alone. Things are always going to get bad. But you trusting in God, is a good thing. I know what its like, and I usually am not a "glass half-full" person, only recently.

I pray things get better, at the moment, I can't find the words to comfort you. I'm sorry. *hugs*

thanks guys. I've been feeling a lot better lately. It'll come back now and again... but for now I'm doing ok. thanks

Hey TG my friend, I'm really glad to hear that you're doing better recently! I prayed for you, keep us updated on how you're doing. It's great to hear you're okay now though. (:

Glad to hear you're feeling better TG.

praying i know how anger can get to us

Yeah, I'm glad to hear things are going better recently! We're praying for you, man! Know that you're not the only one who has felt this way about himself before. I have felt that way myself in times past... Be encouraged; God is good and is in control. It sounds a lot like times I've been through in the past.. sort of like a tempering process... All the while, He never left me, and through it all, He reconstructed my life for the better! I totally beleive He will do the same for you! Just keep seeking Him man- I know you will! Pease keep us informed on the latest. Glad things are on the upswing. (:

Philippians 1:6
"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."

Praying for you bro!!! *huuuuuuugs*

I'll be praying; I think we all know the feeling. It comes and goes.

I've been feeling Better and better of late. a bit sad feeling now and again... but it helps to remind myself that I'm not the only one. It keeps me from getting selfish and into myself.

Thanks for all you guys' prayers. =)
