And the turning point was just for me to be able to release it to Him. And I remember just the weight of all of the anxiety of five months of looking for a job, the anxiety of failed dreams or false expectations, I just remember that being lifted, and me being able to lay that down at the cross and allow Christ to burden that for me.
I was raised in a church home, but walked away from the church at a very early age... I struggled with feelings of worthlessness and depression pretty much my whole life. Also at a very early age got involved in drug usage - abuse, drug abuse. And got out of that, but you know still struggled with other addictions.
After an unfortunate injury in which I tore my ACL, and a time in my life when home life was hard, I didn’t feel that life was going that well at the moment.
When I was young, I was heavyset and shy. I thought that being thin would finally make me beautiful and get the attention that I so desperately wanted.
"I don't feel like God loves me. Do I have to change before God will love me?"
"Is suicide an unpardonable sin? Doesn't God understand how I feel?"
"How can I find my true meaning and purpose for living?"
"I constantly feel that I am disappointing myself and others. I have high expectations that cause me to feel like a constant failure -- is it perfectionism? Is it depression? How do I change?"
