Depression to Anxiety to Emotions to Awareness to Better Posted: 11-22-07 16:01pm
Hi, Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving.
This is my first time logging into a forum
and I read some of your messages, I can
relate. Would like to share what has been
helping me. I have always been spiritual
and was invited to a church by my
handyman. It opened up a friendly place
for me to go but remember people are
people. Listening to the sermons/topics
are very interesting especially when it
related to me, of course I didn't tell
anyone because I would have thought it was
about me. On TV I started watching Joyce
Meyers, Creflow Dollar, Joel Osteen, T.D.
Jakes, Charles Stanley, John Hagee, Paula
White and others. Take from these forums
what helps you, and I have learned more
about my Creator. We think we have it
hard... Since I have become more aware of
my disorder I have realize the issues some
others have. When I was younger I use to
fight and now I hold it inside until I
feel I can talk about it, but I let is
brew too long even if its hours later. I
don't express myself very well then it is
an unpleasant situation. Now I am much
better dealing with uncaring, mean types
of folks because they have issues just
different than mine. Don't beat yourself
up. Add some POSITIVE to help with the
Negative we have to encounter in our daily
living. ...RejuveNATION...

God Hates Me Posted: 11-23-07 04:22am
I have went to church, off and on, for
most of my life. I even tought myself to
read and write in the ancient Greek. So, I
could read the original manuscripts. For
years I prayed, everyday, God, save my
family. Now I don't have one. If you
would like to recieve a curse. Have me
pray for you. Let me know what you want.
Eukoristo Sui.

No He Doesn't Posted: 11-24-07 14:10pm
Everyone has their trials to endure and
hurdles to rise above. It must be hard on
people that do not have HOPE. I endure
the daily up and downs of life but I have
hope for better days. I use Church and
the shows I mentioned as a tool and the
different topics help me. I like Oprah,
Dr.Phil. and others... Oprah features:
Dr.Oz
he shows us how to get or stay healthy.
Comedy, Cooking Shows, HGTV and Animals,
I've got to get started on My Profile.
What do you mean about not having any
family? I have family in my area but we
are not close, never been a kissie, huggy
or real talkative of our feeling. So
things happened that were'nt resolved for
years because I did not bring up how hurt
I was. Now some of the baggage I carried
has been resolved. I've got to learn to
talk about the issues that turn into
baggage quicker. When I hear someone say
something I don't agree with, I need to
talk about it then and don't stew in it.
That's one of my hurdles.
Do you know there is a certain way we are
suppose to Pray. Not only for what we
want but what we are Thankful for. I try
to remember to pray to be "Thankful for
waking up and be my best, Protect me with
the Armor to reflect Negativity away from
me" and Wish the Best for Others and our
World. I've always wanted to help others
but had to Learn to care and help myself.
.."I am important too"..

Planet Tv Posted: 11-24-07 19:26pm
I set my ship down on Planet TV for very
short periods, once a month on average.
Everything on TV has only one true
objective, make themselves rich at your
expense. If that wasn't true, It wouldn't
be on TV. They will tell you wonderful
words. Then, they will ask for money. If
not directly, through their advertisers.
It's not reality, it's entertainment.
I am happy that you found something that
works for you, and is available to you.
thank you for sharing what helped you.
But, you assume way too much that it is
for everybody.
On my second Heart attack, I nearly died.
I had to think about the rest of my life,
and what is after, seriously. In my
deepest heart, and likely in yours too, I
know it's all a bunch of B<!! S^!t. I
just can't leave this world with that
stuff on my conscience. It's truth or
nothing at all. T.V. is the biggest lie
machine ever created.
Let me splain another reason why I feel
the way I do.
I come and go at strange hours. I came
home and the door locks were changed on
the house. My wife and children were on
they're way to church. I figured she just
wanted shiny door fixtures. So, I called
her to see if she had a new key for me to
come get. That is when she told me she
didn't love me no more and wanted a
divorce. She was a good christian woman
who prays and says she loves Jesus, who
she has never really met. But, she
couldn't love a man who adored her, and
would have done anything for her. Matter
of fact, I had even given her power of
attorney over me, just to make her feel
secure.
Own my way back to my car, I started
having chest pains. I had them for three
weeks. I only treated them with asperin.
Until, I had my first heart attack.
I just think we trade reality, that we
can't live with, for a fairy tail that we
can. If there is a God, Easter Bunny,
Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, there not real
out there. They're only real inside of
us.
I'm sorry for the harsh responses, but you
hit a very delicate nerve inside me.

Opions Are Fine/didn't Mean to Go There Posted: 11-25-07 22:38pm
I was only offering what has helped me and
my turn around of accepting negative
situations were with the help of those
shows I mentioned. Yes TV is big business
just like college, retail and scams. I
know everything has its good & bad, I
took the good. I've gotten the booklets
w/envelopes asking for donations and if I
do choose to contribute hopefully some of
it will get to the people that need. Yea
the founders usually over spend on
themselves, but people are people.
Not knowing why you came & went at
strange hours leaves a few questions and
were there any signs or communication of
her displeasure with the situation. My
father was only concerned with his wants
and what he would or wouldn't do for his
wife. Believe me she was at the bottom of
his priorities. Until her plan to rise
above the years of being ignored, over
powered, and manditory chef would be no
more. I just wish he would have
admitted/apologized how he treated her
before he passed. He was the King in his
mind. I am not saying this reflects on
you, this was my reality.
To some I have admitted to my mistake but
some people aren't worth my breath because
of the situation and how it started. As I
said I didn't handle negativity very well.
So I listen to the shows I like but have
not been able to forgive some.

Wonderful Wife Posted: 11-26-07 00:19am
She never cooked for me. The house had to
be perfect. She made the children keep it
clean. I would come home from a job, in
which, could start or end anytime. I am
away from home at least three weeks out of
four. She would meet me with insults. I
would be tired after going 30 hrs without
rest. Hence, I was lazy. I would need at
least two days to get my strength back.
But, I would have to be working outside on
the second day. I had to shower three
times aday. No matter how I combed my
hair, it wasn't right. I had lost a lot
of weight. I was too skinny and ugly. I
put on a bunch of weigh, I was fat and
ugly. If a kid left something in the
wrong place, I did it. If anything got
broke by one of the kids, I must have did
it on purpose. She would get mad if I
spent more than $40/wk on food. I ate a
lot of ramen noodles. If there was
anything I want, we couldn't afford it.
I bought her everything she wanted, a big
Four Poster Bed, Stone tiled the floors.
She spent money on anything she wanted. If
she hinted that there was something she
liked, I bought it for her. All the money
was her's.
I would beg her, " please, let's me and
you get away", she wouldn't here of it.
It was a waste of money for us to have any
quality time together. Everytime I came
home I was treated by my wife, and
children like I was a little bit more a
stranger. Until the last time I was home,
I was treated like I was an intruder.
Maybe I am better off without her. I kept
praying that it would get better. I
thought it may be a faze she was going
through and we would get past it.
That was just another failed dream with no
help from above.

If you don't mind me interjecting, it
didn't sound much like a dream..... a wife
who treated you like that.... a family
that treated you like a stranger. Is that
something you aspired to??

Failed Dream Posted: 11-26-07 19:16pm
My ultimate dream was that my wife would
get better, that she would get past here
issues. She was a control freak. Sometimes
the children wanted to be close. But,
everyone was scared to offend her. That's
why I hear nothing from the kids, today.
Not only was she materialistically
selfish, emotionally as well.

You Are Blessed/lucky (smile) Posted: 11-28-07 05:11am
I am happy to have met the men that I was
not cute enough, slim enough, smart enough
or too nice. Hopefully the men that I
felt weren't enough have the same mind set
I do now. Believe me I wasn't cruel, just
young and dumb. I looked back some years
ago and realized it was not their fault so
I stopped blaming them. It was my choice.
But best to believe I love me, something
I was missing back then.
Well Moving Forward Mr. Texas... This man
on the news was talking about problem
people. He said, "I refuse to let them
rent space in my head". I'm thinking
everyone has issues big or small. I use
to make myself the Genie of the lamp
making everyone elses wishes come true,
one of my issues. I'm still learning
guidelines: Do I think its too much and
by what others are not willing to do for
me and I don't ask for much. Don't get
upset its a guideline to take notice of.
It's time to clear your thoughts and walk
to your future. Hopefully you and your
children will embrace one day.
