I'll pray for you..
Lord,
Touch this young lady's life let her know you are right there reaching to her draw close to her while she draws close to you.
You are not a person that will fail us even though we think that sometimes and get mad at you Lord you have our best in mind when we don't get our way.
Be the lifter of her head while we pray for her. Let her be encouraged today. She is not suppose to perfect when she comes to you Lord thats what kind of change you do in us inside-out. Pour out your love wrap your Daddy Arms around her and let her know we can not control everything and that You Lord are in control.
I pray this in Jesus'Name,AMEN!!

Many people suffer from depression. The eating disorder should be something that you should get help for. Find out what it is that causes it. Is it insecurity? Is it uncertainty about the future? Is it simply something that you have always done and don't know why? Yes to any of these questions tells me that you need peace. I could tell you that Jesus provides peace but, the most important thing you could do is find peace with yourself and be happy with yourself. Hurting yourself will not make you more secure. Do what you can do to help instead of hurt yourself. Some things take long to change and won't change right away. Remember, a person who is happy with themselves is very attractive. If you need to know that someone loves you then just look to God. He loves you just the way you are. You just need to agree with what God says about you. Love yourself the way you are and then make changes in a productive and healthy way. God Bless.

I've been in your position and I know depression and anxiety very well as I have suffered deeply with both.
First you need to pray then see your doctor and try some antidepressants, if you don't want to try those then try something like klonopin (aka Clonazepam) This is for panic attacks, anxiety attacks, there are other medications and you and your doctor can try many different things, you'll find one that works well for you.
Also you will need therapy, one with out the other rarely ever works, but both together can have you up and running in no time.
To get better in any situation you should pray and pray hard, but you also have to do your part. Go to your doctor and find a therapist that deals with depression and anxiety.
Both are serious problems and can't just be wished away, if not treated they can and will overwhelm a person, it doesn't just go away, it mushrooms into something bigger and harder to control, so please if you truly want help getting over this you have to get in to see your doctor and therapist.
You'll be feeling much better in a short while.
God be with you on this journey and I hope you find the answers you seek. Remember that Jesus will lead you where you need to go, and sometimes he'll lead you to your doctor and therapist. God put them here to help us and he wants you to get better.
I'll keep you in my prayers and you can e-mail me if you want to talk.

Whether you go to Brisbane or not is ultimately up to you. As to your anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, perhaps you should look to God for the strength to battle these. It works for AA and many others. It can help you if you are willing to try. Ask for help from a Christian therapist. It'll do a lot more for you than all the psychic networks in the world.

You may benefit from professional counselling, and no Christianity does not hold the answers, you do.
Life is a work of art. You can craft it anyway you wish. You will do what you decide to do. That doesn't mean it's easy, but all things are possible. You just need to find your strength.

Hi Stephanie,
Jesus can find you no matter what section you are in! I cannot tell you what choices to make but God has a plan for you. He says to acknowledge Him in everything you do and He will direct you where to go. (Proverbs 3:6) You can claim that Bible verse for yourself and pray it back to God. Talk to Him like you would to a friend and tell Him everything that matters to you....He will listen. I will pray that you will stay close to Jesus and trust Him.

Friend...I know what it feels like to be lost. And I also know what it feels like to be free of that heavy, horrid feeling.
If it's alright with you, I'd like to pray for you. To ask the King of Kings to touch your heart, to let you know how much He loves you, and cares for you, and hates to see you troubled. I also pray He gives you the peace in your heart that is so badly needed, to be able to defeat the anxiety and depression.
Trust me, the last thing God wants is for you to suffer. Suffering was never part of the original creation. His love is so abundant, so deep, and so comforting, this is what I believe God wants each of us to experience.

Let me share a favorite prayer of mine with you:
Be With Us In The Dark
"Oh Jesus, you who experienced and shared this devastated world with us, we trust you to be with us in the dark times. At moments, life can be beautiful and fulfilling; at others, it can be like a hell. Often, its dullness only leaves us weary.
But your Holy Spirit whispers in our hearts that you are here with us. You are not put off by our faults, our ingratitude, our weakness, even our sinfulness. You look upon us like lost sheep, like the prodigal son. You look upon us with pity and not with blame. You do not cause us to be lost but rather to be saved. We cause our own loss if we refuse to turn to you.
Hold onto my hand in the darkness. Come to me in the lonely night. Guide me through the rough places. Help others who come to me to find your loving presence. Assure us all by your Holy Spirit that you are always there for us, O merciful Savior." --
