Family Disasters

[stephanie champagne]

I'm 17 & have been suffering with Anorexia Nervosa & depression for 3 years now. I have daily suicidal thoughts & have attempted suicide twice. I have been hospitalized over 9 times & have weekly appointments. My mother is an alcoholic & suffers with Depression, she's on welfare & needs extra support from my aunt to pay for bills & groceries. My old sister just turned 20 &has a 2 year old son and lives with us, she is in an emotionally abusive relationship with the father of her son. My younger sister suffers with anxiety & depression. Please pray for my family!

Hey Stephanie,please hang in there. Just remember that we are all as beautiful as we think we are. I know its easier said than done, but please try to focus on the good things about yourself. I am now 30 yrs old but I can remember going through a similar conflict with my own self. I have learned to control the negative thoughts and realize that no one is perfect. The key is to pray and try to surround yourself with positive people and things. Whenever I feel like my depression is coming back I go on youtube and listen to Joel Osteen. Usually works for me. Try to work on yourself first and with that the rest of your family will follow. Your sister might even draw some strength from you and get herself out of a bad situation. In the meantime, I will certainly keep you in my prayers. God will bless you.
