Feeling lost

[Overthinker84]

Today has felt bad and hard. I stayed the night at my brother's so I could help him work on my nephew's car. I haven't been sleeping very well. I toss and turn most of the night. It was the same at my brothers. My alarm went off to get up, but I turned it off and laid back down.

I finally got up because I didn't want to disappoint my brother. So we worked on the car for a couple of hours. I hadn't eaten anything all day. So when we finished I went inside and heated up some food. I was very hungry, but I couldn't finish the food. I barely ate any. This scared me. I have a huge fear of being hospitalized from not being able to eat.

So I came home got into some comfortable clothes and laid down. All I want to do is sleep. I know it doesn't help, but that's all I want to do.

When I was having trouble eating I would add it as a category to my schedule. Not in a “valued” way, like “good” or “bad,” more just to keep track so I could see the bigger picture. This could work for sleep too. If you have a reference sheet it can be helpful for seeing what’s helping you get a full night sleep, or as a tool to discuss with a mental health professional. Hope that helps

I'm feeling similarly right now. It's not fun. Just had a cry in the bathtub before everyone else in the house is up. You're not alone. Good for you for getting up and working on the car with your brother. Keep trying to do some things every day. It usually helps me.

Always know that you can pray to God because of Jesus. By his death and resurrection, he forgave us of all our sin and makes us clean if you believe and have faith in him. If you have some time, I recommend reading some words of Jesus in the Bible.

It’s not easy to walk with faith all the time, but it’s the only thing that keeps me going.

I believe God is good and wants to help us if we look to him and accept his forgiveness through his only son Jesus.

I hope you find the help you need to overcome this and know how much you mean to God and to others.

I think I commented on your post before. I'm a born again Christian. I admire your boldness to share the gospel. I'm thankful I have God in my life and indwelled with the Holy Spirit. I'm praying for healing from this awful disease I suffer from. I don't know what God's plans are for my life but, what I do know is that the scriptures say, "Unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us" Ephe 3:20.In the meantime I lean on him to help me because "this" is so much bigger than me.
