Stress Center Peer Support

I haven't been on this forum in a long time but felt that I should share my cure with all of you.
I started this program back in May and went through my share of struggles, however, I discovered what I believe is the answer to anxiety and depression. G-O-D.
I wasn't religious or spiritual before and quite frankly was very skeptical about people who were, but I decided for the sake of my children to give it a college try.
I was told to forgive myself and others for the past...be grateful and live in today...and to surrender tommorrow to my higher power which I have come to believe is God through Jesus Christ.
I have been doing this and can tell you honestly that I have no more panic attacks...ever....I am not depressed and if I get a twinge of anxiety I just find something to be grateful about and it goes away immediately.
I figured out that living life just to acquire "things" and to please myself was a completely futile way to attempt to live.
Since turning it over to God...things have definately 110% gotten better.
The fact is this....God has never ever broken any promises he made....in fact he is not capable of breaking any promises....and if you read the bible (his word) he promises that if you turn you back on evil and yourself and do "his will" that he can and will take care of you.
It sounds too good to be true and/or very simplistic but I can tell you from personal experience that it does in fact work.
I wish everyone seasons greetings and a very Happy New Year. Perhaps if one person out there actually reads this post it might make a difference in their lives as well.
God bless !!!

I believe that Jesus is my savior also. I have put my trust in him - especially for the last 2 years. I guess you could say I was "born again" if that's the term to use. Before that I didn't really know God. I knew of him, but just thought he was some white guy on a throne up there watching me with every move I make. He is watching me, but know I realize that we're never going to stop sinning - that's impossible. But we can be saved through our faith in Jesus. I read the Bible every night and it has helped me a great deal with how I treat myself and others. But this program has helped me discover how really terrible I was/am to myself - always beating myself up, and low self-esteem. I am still struggling though with lonliess. Even though I know in my heart that I shouldn't worry and my God has his hand on my situations, I still get really sad about being alone. I was doing really good with this program the first 3 weeks, but then Christmas came....I just couldn't hold back the sad feelings and the tears just poured out like a hose. It's so hard to prevent those thoughts and feelings from coming - it seems it happens so quickly. I keep praying for strength and healing. I also pray for someone who I have a lot of feelings for and can't seem to get over, after two years of not hearing from him. I can't seem to give up hope on him and wonder why he's still so real in my heart. I try hard to give all this worry and pain to God and ask him to fill me with his love and his comfort but I guess I break down sometimes. Thanks Tallboy for your encouragement.

I AM SAVED TOO BUT THINK WE CAN'T JUST EXPECT GOD TO TAKE ALL OUR PROBLEMS AWAY. HE DID, HOWEVER, LEAD US ALL HERE TO HAVE A WAY TO WORK ON GETTING OVER OUR PROBLEMS.

Praise the Lord! May God continuously bless you in your walk with Him. We will endure this.
