I need some advice and prayers!!!?

Question

I am 21 years old and my parents are divorced. I got kicked out of my house at 18 and was homeless. My girlfriend took me in and now we have split up. So now I am homeless and have nobody at all. I have been dianosed with OCD, when I was younger. But lately I have been really depressed. I have been to the hospital fot cutting myself once. I have thoughts that I wish I would die (I dont want to kill myself), just thoughts of not living. I am not on drugs nor do I drink. I am just really depressed. But sometimes I get so depressed I get zoned out and dont know whats going on. I get kinda dislutional. Also I have thoughts of cutting myself again. I am a nice guy and look just like everyone else. I have been to get help 3 times and they tell me each time that in time I will be better. But that was 3 months ago. I was wondering if I have something major or if it is just a real bad state of depression? Any advice on how to get better. Note, I have already been for help. Please help.PRAY

Answer 1

#1..You have my prayers.I went through deep depression for years.I'm sorry to say it's not an easy battle but you CAN do it.Some medications help for awhile.I went to therapy far more than 3 times.You need to talk.I found therapy writing great. Write down all your feelings and thoughts when you are in one of your down times.Never mind spelling,grammar, or writing. Just get your thoughts down. Keep a journal each time and then make another appt.and take your writings with you.
Try to make yourself get out a little bit more with friends.
You asked for prayers.Maybe you could go to some clergy and talk to him/her.
Try a support group.Don't give up.You CAN climb that ladder and be happy again.
All the best

Answer 2

I will definitely pray for you. You sound like a good person who is just lost. Go find a church and they will help you. People in churches will care about you and be like a family to you if you find the right one. Let me know how you're doing and what happens. I have grown sons of my own.

take stress away!

1. Meditate, pray, or do yoga each morning. The simple technique of quieting the mind, following the breath, and relaxing the body can put you in the right frame of mind for getting through a stressful day with a positive mental attitude.
At Work. During the day the stress mounts, whether at home or at your place of work. This can result in tension, headaches, back pain or lack of focus and general unproductivity. A few simple ways to help reduce these stress symptoms is to: Change your position or take a quick walk around the office, drink some water, stretch, or do a yoga exercise. One great way to accomplish this is right on your computer, Reduce Stress at Your Desk on Holistic.com has 4 free different streaming video exercises designed to be done in your chair that target your neck, back, shoulders and upper back. They run from 4-6 minutes each and have proven to be effective.
2. Exercise. Walking 20 minutes per day can change body chemistry in a way that calms the nervous system and reduces stress levels. Aerobic exercise is especially good for producing endorphins in the body - which are natural soothing hormones released during sustained exercise.

3. Make dietary changes. Reducing sugar, carbohydrates, caffeine and alcohol in your diet can go a long way towards getting your body back into a healthful balance. It's now recognized that when we eat carbohydrates, these foods turn directly into sugar in our bodies. The more sugar we eat, the more depleted our B-vitamins become. B-vitamins are essential for a healthy nervous system.
4. Supplement with vitamins and minerals. Taking a daily multi-vitamin, mineral supplement and B-vitamin supplement can strengthen your nervous system whether you're already depleted by stress or storing up for an onslaught of stressful circumstances. The mineral calcium is especially helpful for calming the nerves and toning up the nervous system. Athletes preparing for a race understand that extreme physical activity can be stressful and boost their bodies with nutrients beforehand. Take 3,000 mg of Vitamin C per day to help maintain a healthy nervous system while under stress.
5. Use herbs in tincture and tea form to calm yourself:
The Ginsengs: Both Panax ginseng (Korean ginseng) and Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) have been shown in numerous studies to support adrenal function and enhance resistance to stress. Both Ginsengs are adaptogens, which means they restore balance, stimulating a function when it is low, subduing it when high. Both can be used to restore vitality, increase feelings of energy and well being, increase mental and physical performance and enhance the body's response to stress.

Valerian: clinical studies have shown valerian's ability to relieve insomnia, decreasing time needed to fall asleep while increasing deep sleep.

Kava Kava: European studies have found Kava effective in the treatment of nervous anxiety, insomnia, restlessness as well as reduce heart palpitations, chest pains, headache and gastric irritation.

Enjoy a cup of herbal tea at night. Create a bedtime ritual of drinking chamomile tea to relax. Or try an herbal liquid tincture sleep formula containing chamomile.

Homeopathic remedies are scientifically proven effective and side-effect free. Try one of the many sleep formulas on the market that contain chamomilla and other sleep inducing remedies.
