This is my first post on this website. I'm still not so sure about it, but I guess I'll try it. I have a lot of mood swings, especially lately. Maybe it's because it's summer and I'm alone a lot. I used to have depression and I wanted to kill myself. But when I became a follower of Christ, I overcame my suicidal thoughts. That was the beginning of last summer, I think. I also decided I was never going to cut myself again. I never really got addicted to cutting, I stopped before I got to that point. But a few days ago, I slipped up and cut myself. Previously, I've never bled much from cutting myself but this time it was dripping. I freaked out. I don't ever want to cut myself again! But I still have problems with my emotions and mood swings. I want to be stable. I want to be normal. It's like one minute I'm in a really really good mood and the next I'm in a terrible mood. I feel really stressed out too. About the guy I like, school, college, parents, other family members, religion, my future, and with my shyness. I'm sooo tired of being shy and not really fitting in.
Sorry that this was a lot of complaining.

Hello and welcome to Oasis !!



Be sure of this, that He led you here alyssantw.

This path is healing, it has healed my soul and if that is possible with me, u bet it could be for you too.
We can do all things thru Christ who gives us strength!

Alyssantw, He loves you.. let Him hold you in His arms, there is safety in His arms. You are not alone, He is with you and He will never let you go.

Praise God for your victory of overcoming those thoughts!!!

Stay with this path and get to know just how much He realy does love you. He is the keeper of your soul through every drought and storm. When life leaves you worn and cold, He is there to shelter you and pour His peace over you.

Being shy is no fun, we get embarrassed easily and we feel shame when not warranted . I think you are off to a good start with this. I see that you are realising that you need something other than what you have right now. Restore your hope and confidence in yourself and begin to see yourself as He sees you, which is His darling beautiful daughter. He made you perfectly the way He wanted, He gave you all the right ingredients that you need in this life.

Continue on this path, you will be in my prayers.

Again welcome, im sure there will be others along to greet you as well

God bless
♥Jill

Hi ya

I like what Jill said about shyness. That made since and struck home with me at this moment.

I'd like to address the moodiness a bit by encouraging you to pay attention as to what is your thoughts when your mood changes. What is happening around you.

Such as are you happy till something on tv sad or sinful or disturbing comes on? Or someone walks in or calls or texts or says something on fb or in a forum and it changes your mood. Hmm what was it that was said that struck you that way. Again something sinful, something depressing, something sad, something that triggered a memory maybe even a memory you won't admit is there or ever happened. Paying attention to what is causing the mood swings will help you overcome them. Or maybe you are happy till you mind drifts off to another place and time that is sad or depressing or angers you.

Can't wait to hear how day 2 goes.

Welcome to the family sis!
