I'm having a bit of a moral/spiritual crisis here, anyone have an awnser for me?

Question

I'm all alone, I have no-one to turn to, I have no one to love, I feel like have no place in this world, like the powers that be are ignoring my desperate cries for aid, I feel like I'm falling into an endless pit, one where I can slowly feel the walls closing in around me as the light gets farther and farther away. I have been saying and doing things that are very uncharacteristic of me, and I feel like I'm changing on the inside, the light of my soul is rolling from light to dark, and my heart is blackened, I feel like I'm constantly fighting to keep my sanity as if there's another "me" inside trying to claw its way out. Can anyone tell me what exactly I can do?

Answer 1

Don't ever quit

When things go wrong
as they sometimes will;
when the road you are trudging
seems all up hill;
when funds are low and debts are high
and you want to smile
but you have to sigh;
when care is pressing you down a bit,
rest, if you must,
but don't you quit.

Life is strange with its twists and turns,
as every one of us sometimes learns,
and many a failure turns about
when they might have won,
had they stuck it out.

Don't give up
though the pace seems slow.
You may succed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out
the silver tint of the cloud of doubt,
and you can never tell
how close you are;
it may be near when it seems so far.

So stick to the fight
when you're hardest hit.
It's when things seem worst
you must not quit

Answer 2

First, talk to a physician
Second, contact a good psychologist (if you are a believer, it would be wise to find one of your faith, simply so he will understand your thought processes better. One who does not share your faith can still help you though).
Yes, God can help you to manage a problem that you may have to live with - but He doesn't automatically heal you from depression. At least, He will do that about as often as He will heal you from a physical paralysis ... He can do it, but seldom does. He usually helps us to learn to live with a problem.
You might have a chronic problem of depression, but yuou might also be going through a temporary one because of some hurts coming to the surface. That is why a qualified psychologist is important. You are in charge of your life though. If the professional help you get does not seem satisfactory, it's up to you to look for someone else.
And yes, talk with your pastor, priest or rabbi if you have one, and you have a relationship of confidence with him. He will not cure you but can accompany you through the process, and hopefully will have been trained to help.
By the way, sometimes there is a phuysical aspect to the problem, and medication can help. So don't let anyone knowck meds. Medication can bring your mind into a chemical balance so that you can deal psychologically with the problem. Be sure those helping you are working as a team and not against eachother (some psychiatrists don't want you to see a psychologist; some psychologists are absolutely against your taking medication from a psychiatrist - I would avoid those kinds of professionals like the plague, personally).
Smoking pot would be like medicating yourself without the guidance of a doctor. It just wouldn't be a very good idea.
May God bless you and lead you to some good help

Answer 3

Sounds like you might be suffering from depression. It's a very real, quite powerful, and quite widespread problem. Speak to your physician, but don't let him or her ignore your concerns. Some general practitioners tend to react to complaints of depression like the majority of the general population: as a "bad patch" that we all go through. You have to insist that this is more than that, that this is not normal for you. A mental health specialist will take you seriously, if your GP will not. Counseling and medication may be able to help restore the balance you once had. And look for a support group in your local area. It can be very liberating to know that you're not the only one, you're not imagining things or overreacting, and you're not powerless.

Don't give up. Many people have found help and beaten this thing.

Answer 4

Most of us feel this way at one time or another in our lives.
But victim mentality will get you nowhere! Do NOT succumb to it,even if life really is dealing you a sh1tty hand.Get back on the horse! No matter how hard you apply yourself,she'll still buck you off into the mud from time to time.
It could be that you've been living your life like I did in the past,and are just LETTING things happen,instead of MAKING things happen.Mark Twain said it best when he said that the luckiest people make their own luck! You'll have better results (and a higher level of self esteem) if you control your life,instead of letting your life control you! Take it from someone who's been there!

Answer 5

Sound to me like you have reached a point of despair. You have looked at yourself for answers and come up dry. Now its time to look to the One who has the answers.... God. I know you don't think He has the answers, but He made you and He understands you better than anyone. He knows your past, your present and your future. He knows your pain, your problems and your potential. It's time to change your focus. Stop looking at the ugly you see within. Look up... God make a god shapped void in every man, woman and child. Nothing on earth can fill that void...not alcohol, drugs, sex, materialism, politics, family, or even religion can fill the emptiness. Only God fits. I think perhaps that Nicodemas in John 3 had the same problem. He came to Jesus at night... when no one else was around, and others could not see. Jesus told him, "You must be born again... God did not send his Son into the world to condem it but to save it. " Pick up your Bible and begin to read the story... If you do not have a bible, try it at www.biblegateway.com... and punch in John 3 on the passage search..... try it in the version called The Message Bible... It will help you to understand it better.
Jesus is the hope and answer you need. He helped me and he can help you too. Now I have a future, something to look forward to, and a friend who never leaves me alone. Email me for more information if you need it.

You can do whatever you want to do. You have all the power to make your life what you want it to be. If you let your life spin out of control it's going to spin out of control. If you want to make your life better then make it better. It's all about you. Take steps to change your life. even if bad things happen to you keep doing what you know is the right way to do things. And make you life what you want it to be. If the people in your life are making you unhappy find new people to bring into your life. If you are fat then go work out. If you have no money go get a job or go to school and get educated. If you have trouble making friends find something you like doing and join a group that likes doin it to. Remember that drugs and alcohol only cover up the problem they don't fix them. If you need help remember that the only person that can really help you is you. Everyone else is just there for support.

Answer 7

It sounds like you are depressed. You mention moral/spiritual crisis. Whatever it is you are not the only one to go through whatever it is. You are not alone. Please reach out to someone...Take a drive and just start talking like your best friend was with you and no matter what they would listen and not judge you. Get it out then call your local church and talk to someone there. They can also give you referrals to agencies that can handle your situation. Please know that there is someone out here that does care and God loves you. Do you like music? Find a good Christian music station and let the music speak to you. The message is in the music. Worship is powerful...I am praying for you. Strength and understanding is coming your way. Be ready to receive :-) Do not let today's problems cloud tomorrows answers. God Bless!!!

Answer 8

You will find peace in atheism. You will realize that the cosmos has nothing for nor against your existence, and that the strength you seek comes from within. The endless pit with the walls closing in around you is called religion, and it is a terrible pit to get caught in. Religious belief will have you constantly fighting to keep your sanity. Atheism and secular reasoning will save you.

Answer 9

You need to interact with real people more. Find a way to start helping others, and your own problems will shrink. Teach a skill. Serve some meals. Find a niche where you provide something no one else can do. A place where you matter. That's all a psychiatrist can tell you.

Answer 10

Sounds like Depression. Seek mental health assistance from your county health department or private physician. If you can't find one, call the United Way "First Call for Help" which should be in your local phone book. Medication can help very much to find your real self again. You don't have to live this way, you can live happier and more hopeful for the future.
