It not me.

[Fruitsofspirit]

Today woke up anxiety so pull phone find mediation in the Lord on anxiety so I listen to it 3 times. Then listen to one joy. Then went to church online. Pastor talked about how so many have been really hard the last 1 1/2 years. I see it all over Facebook and group's but it was about depression, anxiety, ptsd, all kinds that what we go through isn't me or u. I have said so many times this isn't me, even this morning waking up with anxiety i said it. His sermon just comferm it to me. I really praying for us all I know and understand what we each share feels. I hate it. BUT IT'S NOT ME OR YOU. Why we are going through this I have no answers. But I am so thankful and grateful for the group's, you all. My heart hurts with each of you. Don't give up. Keep fighting this. Lots of love, hugs but mostly praying 🙏💖

It's the worst isn't it, Morning anxiety and depression. Everyday I look in the mirror and I don't know the person I see. I'm doing pretty good and winning the fight most days.I am so glad you have comfort through prayer, it is what helps us win the battle.

Prayers for you and your family 🙏

Yes. We are so much more than our circumstances. These experiences don’t define us.

We aren't alone so many of us in the world are going through this it's group's like this with each other but mostly the Lord to get through this. We aren't meant to have this in our lives the Lord said to give him our burdens and worry to him. I know it's hard. It's hard on all of us just hang in we have the Lord and each other our group ❤. Healing love, hugs and prayers

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I also look for sermons and inspirational messages to help me with my anxiety and depression. I pray daily for God's strength and to show me the way. I work hard on not focusing on the negative thoughts but focusing on God. Reminding me that He is in charge of my life so I don't have to worry or fear. I appreciate this group and how we encourage and support one another. Thank you for your positive message. I absolutely love your name Fruits of Spirit. I spend a lot of time focusing on the Fruits of the Spirit... love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and ask daily the Holy Spirit to help me use them in my life. On our own it is difficult to go through life, but when we ask God, He listens and helps us through even the toughest times. Like you said I don't know why we have to struggle, and depression is definitely not who I am but what I struggling with at times. I do know we are not going through it alone. God is with us. My favorite poem that helps me remember I am not alone is Footprints in the Sand (bit.ly/3eURKib). I hope you find it encouraging too. You and all who struggle on HU are in my prayers. Hugs and God Bless

The reason for fruitofthespirit is cuz for a couple years I couldn't feel or show any of them. Only hurt, pain and anger. Since I been in groups I'm starting to get them back. Like what I wrote earlier. It isn't me I pretty much love everyone and treated them with the Lord love. Spending time with the Lord is my awesome happiness.

[Fruitsofspirit in reply to lovetodance2018]

I have always loved this he is carrying me right now

[Fruitsofspirit]

It can be hard. I have lived with depression for a while then anxiety joined in then ptsd after my granddaughter and I was beaten by a very close friend. Turns our life in to ptsd night mare. I almost lost my family. I've never had it this bad ever before. Tha Lord is my only way to get through this. The group's been helping to. I pray healing love and peace. Hugs

I am also praying for healing and peace for you. Have you seen a counselor for your abuse? That must have been horrible experience. Something someone one told me is try really hard to let go of the past. Going through a horrible experience once is terrible but we rehash it in our mind, we are reliving it, and no one wants to relive a horrible time. The Lord is giving you strength to move forward. I am so glad to hear you have Him centered in your life. Do attend a church? Are you part of a ladies bible study? Getting the truth of His word in your heatr is to so healing. Here is an article (bit.ly/378v0Xv) you might find helpful. I continue to keep you in my prayers and if you ever want to chat, please feel free to pm me. Hugs and God Bless
