  • Silence Screaming to be Heard

    Depression. What is it that you know of it? How well of it do you understand? Suicide thoughts. Can you see the meanings of it? Are you suggesting anymore than just seeking for help?

    Lately, I have been having those kind of thoughts and it isn't as much cuz I wanna die. Or am I feeling so defeated that I felt suicide is the answer way out of this situation.

    I am not thinking of it as a comfort or way to cry out my pain. I am not thinking about it to drown all my hurts so I could no longer feel it. Suicide have so many meanings to it, so many ways to relate.

    Which of those have I thought about? And just how often?

    Nah, there aren't that many I could imagine having commit and living through it. Er, more like dying through it. And I don't think like all the times as I used to when I was extremely depressed. However, it may be just enough that before long, I will find myself living with the thoughts all the times.

    It is always been a curious to me what it was like to have suicide done. Would I have the gut to really do it and leave all this behind, possibility even get myself damned to hell?

    I cannot imagine having to hurt myself so badly to die from it, leaving behind my children to someone I may not know taking care of them. I don't want them growing up not knowing who I was and maybe get fed with lies about who I was and why I have done what I did.

    I cannot imagine dying on my own will and lost all the connection with God completely and live through this for the rest of my soul life.

    However, I am not depressed because I feel like I am not getting enough of what I want. I am not complaining for the things I don't have, or regretting anything I do have.

    Though I lack majorally in support and social life, I can imagine maybe, just maybe if I have enough of that to boost myself from feeling like a worthless person, I wouldn't so constantly be thinking like this.

    How to put myself out of this position to get myself away from the problems that doesn't exist except for the ones I made? I created my own problems and I am the creator of pains that never exist.

    I am comfortable being hurt. I am comfortable being betrayed. I am comfortable being lost and angry. I have pride I bury myself deep into. And above them all, I hate it.

    I hate being hurt, I hate being betrayed and I hate being angry. It gets me nowhere. It only danger myself and my relationship with my children, my lover and God. The more I dig deeper into my own problems, the bigger holes I will live with between myself and others.

    I know so many people.... I know just about all of those I have met.... who are they? What are they to me? Do  I DARE to call them my friends? Have I called them? Have I visited them?

    I have done so, in hope to get the same in return.

    As much as you would say the devil is my worse enemy, I would say, I am my own worse enemy. I cannot stand the thoughts I think of everyday. I cannot stand the skins I live in. I cannot stand the eyes I see through.....

    Because it all seems to be nothing but a lie. My name is a lie. My life is a lie. My motherhood is a lie. My relationships are all a lie.

    I have fought nonexist war with my soul against liars. I have struggled believing in God's love and His blessing. I have tried connecting and making senses of things I cannot understand.

    My mind is overloaded. And I can't stand it!

    God  blessed me way more than I deserve. I am grateful despite of my struggle of being happy. I am accepting all that He has given me with thanksgiving.... It may sounds like I am not. But you just don't know what's going on with me inside out.

    So, this does not deserve any judgement.

    I thanked God everyday for my children. The air I breathe, though sometimes I don't understand why I deserved it. I thanked Him for giving me another day to live and have more chances. I thanked Him for the struggles I am going through and dealing with lies I listened to every night before I go to bed.

    I thanked God for so many  good things and the bad. Without the bad things, I wouldn't have had good things. I douno if what I am dealing with is a suicidal depression. Or if it's stress that is driving me insane.

    I am easily tempered than ever before. I am losing patience. I am no longer finding happiness in any form. Things are not that difficult... but I am just not understanding. Something is HARD but I don't know what it is.

    I am reaching out but holding myself back at the same time. I am walking to somewhere yet I am going nowhere. I am calling out but no sounds were heard. I am creating my own world that I hate to live in.

    Would you understand me?

    I would. Since this is the Internet and anybody can read this, I can't tell you why; but I understand you very well, dear. What you are going through is indeed very, very hard and it will take time to heal from it. There is a root to what you are going through, an origin so to speak. You are like this because of something that happened to you or a series of painful experiences with a common theme and results that demolished your self-esteem and your self-concept. What is at the root, at the base of all of this? I would encourage you to think about that.

    Secondly, you need to talk to somebody that can help you. Go to a Christian psychologist for a while and they will help you to figure things out with the guidance of God's Spirit and psychological techniques that will equip you to survive bearably.

    You see a use in pain. Otherwise, you would not feel comfortable in it. Why do you feel comfortable in it? Could it be because you can think clearer without mental distractions? What possible benefits can you see for remaining in that painful world you create?

    God is the best therapist in the world. Learn more about His Spirit and establish an alone time where you can talk out loud with Him. This will help release some of your feelings and thoughts. Confess absolutely everything to Him forgetting about your shame. He knows it all already. There is no point in hiding it. There is hope. I know.

    Perhaps you need to change the way you view God. Do you think you deserve what happened to you? Do you, perhaps, blame God (even if only a little)? Talk to Him and ask Him to reveal all of these things to you. Write things down that torment you and then burn them or shred them or get rid of them in whatever way you prefer.

    My best advice will be to abandon your pride and get professional Christian help. Apply all the advices given to you by the counselor or psychologist and work on changing the way you think. A cognitive-behavioral therapist can help you a great deal. Change the way you talk to yourself. If you can live with lies, you can live with talking positive to yourself because you may think is a lie. But hey, slowly, this will have a positive effect on you.

    I will leave you with a quote to ponder about: "Sometimes, the uncomfortable familiar is more comfortable than the comfortable unfamiliar." I think this may be our case, bud.

    These feelinga you are having will go away, in time.  You have to have faith in your lord, and yourself.  Believe me I understand you more than you will ever know.  If your on meds, possibly they are not for you; maybe to strong or weak.  Your children are the reason for you to be ALIVE.  Besides you can't do anything dead.
