Yes, I had an experience once when I was very depressed and at my lowest.  I was so low that I did not know what else to do, so in my desperation when there was nobody else to turn to, I tried to picture in my mind the face of Jesus.  (At the time I had still not made my mind up about religion.)  All of a sudden there was a surge of peace and tranquillity and a feeling of love that I had never ever experienced in my life.  It was as if I was in his loving arms and he was saying "it's going to be all-right if you just give this to me."  That is the best way that I can describe it because the strength of it was not of this earth.  It had to have been Jesus.  There is a Bible passage where Jesus says "If you search for me, you will find me."  It was then that I understood what that passage meant.

Well I just kept boosting myself up.  I use to feel the same way.  Then I learned you only have one life and if you spend the whole time being sorry for yourself you miss out on tons of awesome experiences.

Thank you so much for sharing. It was very uplifting, brought tears.  Sometimes we need to be reminded.

That's an interesting question. I find it comes and goes in waves. All of a sudden I get in a philosophical mood and I "wonder" and questions abound. And I feel much more comfortable being the asker that doesn't have to reveal but has the opportunity to learn from everyone else. Then I get the chance to process all they have told me and synthesize through the information and find what works for me and what perhaps would not. But there are those days I wake up and think I can move mountains! (Until I actually touch my feet to the ground and remember age could be setting in very soon.) On those days........I can answer a million questions in a row and still scream, "Bring 'em on!" lol.......it so depends on "where I am" I suppose. When I feel lost.......I ask and feel happier asking. When I feel that life is zipping along......I feel worthy of answering.....and am happiest then. *shrugs* Just one girl's story. :) Thanks for letting me share.

I know exactly what you mean, and I come very close of dying inside many times, actually I couldn't say I didn't because of how great I feel now and wonder how I managed to keep it together. I have a lot to be thankful for!

ive felt like this soo many times in life....for a long time i wallowed in it, wondering what to do. then i started finding things to occupy my mind, like i started exercising by myself, or you know reading and stuff. life sometimes is funny, like you go through things that are sooo miserable, but then later in life, its like wow, that really made me appreciate any piece of happiness i get....i am a better person, and more compassionate i think because i went through some rough times when i was younger.

wow just think you get online and you are down in the dunps and you ask for some encouragement and people you do not know offer it to you never asking for anything in return .i think that right there is enough encouragment for anyone to realise that there is always good outthere.remember you are never alone in this world ,there are people out there who care for others no matter what.you are proof of that if people didnt care they wouldnt answer.i have no words to say to you to help you the reason being i dont know what the problem is so as to give you appropriate encouragement .but just think in the fact that there are people who care about others  everywhere and to have one touch your life is a great and wonderful thing and keep it going touch someone elses life with the same and maybe we can get it out to everybody out there who needs a comforting word and gentle embrace .

My life is very full but I have enough of my own problems and survival to worry about then trying to carry the rest of the world on my back.
