Post by » Thu Oct 02, 2008 12:11 pm

alrighty well Ill try to cut this short, because i no most of you dont wanna read all this!!lol So 2 years ago I had to drop out of highschool my senior year because 2 months staight I couldnt get out of bed without suffering a panic attack and also the phsical side affects of depression. For those 2 whole months I would lie in bed and cry, because I wanted to get up but couldnt. I was alright but not perfect I later realized because now Im almost right back where I started the past week its been hard to leave my house. I am jobless and have been for a while, only 19, and know I would benefit from this program but cant afford it.Soo right now Im putting this in Gods hands whatever he is trying to tell me he's got my attention Im listening!! Im also just taking everything day by day! Im treating it like Im building a muscle and everyday I push it a litle further!! So basically right now Im just asking for your prayers and support!!! I know there are many people out there like me and I believe we will all make it through just got to stick together and give God the Glory!!! And to those of you that do take the time to read this and reply God Bless....... Stephanie

Hi Stepanie,
You are in a wonderfull place full of so many caring people going through much the same as you have and are. We may be at different stages but everyone has great advice and kind words to help you stay focused on the positives and not the negatives. It's so important for you and all of us to desire getting over depression and anxiety more than we desire anything else. Those who do will beat these problems and go on to live happy, joyous lives. So it's a lot of talking to yourself in a calm, kind, loving way and fighting back the sadness and of course you must really BELIEVE IN YOU!!!

You can PM me again anytime at all and if I'm on the computer I will reply...always.

My Heart, Soul And Prayers Are With You.
BELIEVE, Write it over and over again and put it on sticky notes or any paper and hang it everywhere to look at.
It's a powerfull word.

(((((((BIG HUGS)))))))

Stephanie, do you have family? If its private, don't answer, just say none of my business....but I am wondering, at 19, you should be surrounded by family still. Many of us are here a ton, myself included, add me to your list if you need a shoulder. We all deserve happiness, but sometimes its hiding under some pretty heavy rocks.

Hey Steph,

Advice above is great.At your age I had a lot of depression all through high school.On another positive note, until you get a little better you might want to look into getting your high school degree on line or do it at home,not sure if you can do that , think it's worth a shot for the future.

God Bless

I will definitely say a prayer for you. In the past others have posted about difficulty affording the program. I have read others suggesting you contact the StressCenter.com and see if they can work out a payment plan or something. Trying to purchase Lucinda's book is an excellent idea.

Someone once suggested trying ebay to see if anyone is selling their program. Keep the faith. God will provide an opening somehow. Take care and God Bless.

Stephanie,
My heart goes out to you I understand your pain
and I praise God that you realize that he is in
control ultimately of our outcome. God wants us
well. He wants us to be joyful and I believe he
put the urgency of this program in my mind. I
have tried meds., alternative solutions and they
have done some good. I too am trusting Him but
we also have to be aware of the tools he gives us. We are to be involved in our recovery. That's where I had a peace about how this program works. I started Session I last week.
I always have underlying depression (have for about 20 years) and now I realize anxiety as well but when my cycle starts depression and
anxiety are extreme. It paralyzes my mind and
body. Worry, doubt unable to make decisions
and the last two periods the duration lasted 3
weeks each. That makes me anxious just thinking
there's only one week I can hope for any peace.
Together, let's join hands through the wires in
prayer and praise to him and trust that he will
carry us through this storm into the light he
has waiting for us. Praise God and bless you Steph

Stephanie, just hang in there. This too shall pass. I have been dealing with this on and off for 15 years (started at about your age) and just decided to get pro-active about it. It sounds like you are doing that as well, and much sooner than I ever did. You WILL be ok. Matt

Stephanie,
You sound like a very smart young woman. I am praying for you and I know that you will come through this okay. I'm sorry that you cannot afford this program. It has helped me tremendously. But, just reading about what others are going through on this website helps also.

There is another wonderful little book that is suggested in this program called The Quiet Mind Sayings of White Eagle. I ordered if off of Amazon.com. It was only $4.95 and worth every penny. I read it often and carry it with me.

Prayers and Blessings from me to you

Hi Stephanie,

I am so sorry you are not feeling well. I have suffered from the same types of things you have - not being able to get out of bed, crying all the time. It is horrible! The one thing that has helped me tremendously is trying to think positively about everything, trying to go for a walk every day, and watch what you eat. Turkey, cottage cheese, green leafy vegetables are especially good for depression. I know when I don't eat well (french fries, burgers, fried foods) I don't feel as well. For about six months I have tried to watch what I eat, exercise and think positively and get out in the sun every day if you can or at least get some fresh air. You are on the right track for asking for help and asking for prayers. I will keep you in my prayers because I have been there and I know how horrible and lonely it is. I hope you have some good family and friends that can help you through this also. I have also found that being around people helps me so much! God bless you and I will keep you in my prayers - I already said a prayer for you. You might try reading some passages out of the Bible also - that always makes me feel better - Psalms is a good place to start. You can IM me anytime - good luck to you and God Bless You!
Kathy
