I can't believe I am this far down again. I have clinical depression. Some docs say BiPolar disorder. I did this counseling a few years ago when I was suffering and it helped a lot. My faith is also suffering this time. I have been begging God to heal me for years. I am also a compulsive overeater, which makes things worse. My diabetes suffers more because of the overeating and I also feel bad physically a lot of the time. I have been in therapy for a few months, trying to put some of my past to rest, and that has been hard. But, I am feeling a little bit of hope since I cried for the first time in a long time a few weeks ago and have tried to accept the fact that some things that happened to me as a child are not my fault. So, here I go again. I need my faith back. I need to know Jesus again. I need to believe.
Thanks to everyone here who is there. And, even though he is not reading this, thanks to my therapist who is also helping me.
Blessings to all...Amy.

Hi Amy...I am so happy to see you here sis...doing the counseling and I know God is smiling too. As you know...there is healing in these steps...and I think between your therapist, these steps and most of all God...you can get back on the path.

I must say sis...I too was a compulsive overeater at one time....I would eat a lot...more than I needed...and yes I felt bad all the time...I had to make some changes in my lifestyle...my eating habits and also choosing to get up and get some exercise...and this really helped me a lot. 30 minutes a day of exercise is all it took...but it made a difference...of course I couldn't do much at first as I was extremely overweight so I started with just walking, and cutting back on what I ate...counting calories...and I can say it was not easy...and I know what you are going through...but grab hold of hope sis...cuz it is possible to get the weight under control...because with God all things are possible.

As far as your past sis...I'm glad you are beginning to see that you aren't at fault for some past hurts...and this my sister means you are on your way to healing.

Hang in there Amy...many of us will be here cheering you on. We luv you a lot too.



luv ya sis

Hey there sister!!!! I am so happy to hear u are dealing with ur past, as i am as well. my problems differ from u, but overall, faith is something i am working on as well. a few years ago God showed me that i needed to have faith and i needed to put whatever it was into His hands and have FAITH in HIM. Now if u look at puttin the faith in Him rather than the action of what YOU are personally doing, i found that helped me alot. the out come or how it may "pan out" may be different from how you thought it would be but in the end your best interest is whats important and needed. God knows that and thats all he wants for you. And even though faith can be hard to receive we are all here for you, praying and supporting you. You can do it, cause through God everything and anything is possible you just have to give "it" unto Him!!
Love you sister and you are in my prayers!! God Bless!!!
