Thank You SO Much....

[TrustYourSoul]

I really appreciate those who replied thoughtfully to my very first post today, about my Anxiety over being rejected.

My brother fears my physical health will decline at some point since I am 8 years older (60), and he didn't want to have to make any sacrifices to be of help, so it was easier for him to "fire" me in a text message. I had to let him go. I never want to be a burden on him. He deserves to be happy in his future. I remain devastated. There is a piece of my heart that hopes he is "hit" one day with a conscience, and is haunted with the thought, "OMG!! What did I do to my Sister, who has always been there for me?" Remorse is hard to live with. Forgiveness is even harder to live without.

Friends are too busy and have their own issues. I have found that many have become less open to listen and help with others' difficulties in the last couple of years. Maybe it's because of COVID?

I think I will just continue to lay low for a while. I am a Believer, pray often, but I think God is super busy. He will get around to me eventually. I just need to keep the faith, keep being good to others, keep saying what I am grateful for every night, and wait.....

My siblings don't even call me to see if I'm alive..they know I suffer with mental illness, but I still don't hear the phone ring, or my notifier going off with a text..I know everyone has their own life, but that's just a pathetic excuse we all use, heard it time n time again..how much does it really take to reach out to someone that you supposedly care for, and ask the simple question, how are you? Really no effort at all, perhaps a little bit of your time..sorry about your brother, sounds a lot like mine, all 3 of em..covid has definately changed the world, society in general, I'm not sure if its for the better either? God doesn't forget about anyone, he's not super busy, we have to help ourselves by keeping super busy, it helps..yes, keep the faith going, kindness to others and you'll reap the rewards..you sound like a great person, once again yes, be grateful for what we have, and not dwell on what we wish we had...try n live in the moment, practice mindfulness, I know easier said than done, and I need to practice some of my own advice, it doesn't work for everyone as we are all different, but more alike than we think, in the end, we're all human with emotions...please don't miscontrue anything I've said here, all with good intentions and only my own personal opinion..God bless, thank you for sharing and take care of you! Most of all, like your name says, 'do not quit', ever....

No such thing as God being too busy. He just works on a timeframe and in a manner that is mysterious to us. But as a gospel song I sing in church once in a while says:

He's on on-time God, yes he is

He's on on-time God, yes he is

He may not come when you want him

But he's always right on time

He's on on-time God, yes he is
