hey guyz,
a few months ago, I was really struggling with depression, i was being bullied and just felt like no one luved me at all. it was like, a seriously dark time in my life and I hated myself 100%. anyways, than i came here, met all of u wonderful peeps ((hugs)) and everyone here helped me so much! I got over my depression and have been fine for a month now, so PTL for that. but lately, i feel like my life is going downhill. I'm having trouble in some schoolwork, and there is a person here who really needs help so i do my best but its really draining me. i feel like smthin is pulling me back in2 the darkness, I'm scared 2 death of it. that bully is coming around again, and my parents keep setting unfair rules on me that r totally stupid, i feel like rebelling all the time. i take long walks 2 try and think things thru and pray, and it's been helping, but every time i return home, my siblings r always screaming at each other and it makes me feel awful, like its somehow my fault they're fighting all the time, i wish it would just stop.

anyways, i've rambled long enough,so 2 get 2 the point, i was just wondering if anyone could pray for me not 2 slide back in2 depression, and also that my little sibs would find peace, i'd totally appreciate it!!! (and luv u forever! hehehehehehe)

Praying for you Belle,

School work will always have its ups and downs. It's a shame that school work is often too challenging when, really, learning should be fun and interesting at whatever level. So, whenever you have trouble in schoolwork, try not to focus on the trouble but instead try and enjoy the learning process! And, if and when you're struggling to understand something, ask for help Just take things in your stride, one step at a time and don't worry.

If there is someone here who needs your help, it is amazing that you are helping. But don't let it drain you, ask for others' help too. A problem shared is a problem halved! Don't take it all on your shoulders.

Parents that are setting unfair rules that are totally stupid? Hmm... I probably do that with my kids... I certainly don't mean for them to be unfair or totally stupid. But, if you think something is unfair, can you - calmly - approach them to ask for a second thought? A calm approach is always best

And it is SO not your fault that your siblings scream at eachother. It's what siblings do unfortunately... When you catch them on a good day, or a quiet moment when they're not screaming, just say to them how much it upsets you when they fight. That should make them stop and think. But again, a calm approach is needed, and make sure you catch them when it's quiet.

And we ALL feel like rebelling once in a while... but that just causes us more unrest in the end. All these problems are resolvable and you'll feel so much better having worked through them rather than rebelling.

Like I said before, unfortunately I think the bully is probably racked with problems herself That she was great for a while is really encouraging and I would think that was when she herself was going through a good patch. But, often when people are going through hard times, they lash out at those nearest to them. Maybe she could be introduced to here??? Just a thought.

And, Belle, you NEVER ramble on. You are a ray of sunshine here and we ALL love you! And we love your randomness too . AND we love all the emoticons too!

Praying for you dear sis and just be patient, God will work everything out for you It may just take a little time. He loves you - and SO DO WE!!!
