I'm A Work In Progress

[Anonymous]

I have a problem with depression. I haven't been to work in almost two weeks. I know having a job in this day and age should be enough to motivate me to get to work, but with depression, one really doesn’t care although he/she can rationalize, and through the grace of God, I still have a job. (Praise God) I should have been fired a long time ago. I’m just not happy for many reasons, which I will not go into right now. Anyway, I have to go to work today; I’m already late. I also have trouble sleeping, which is another reason I’m running late. I desperately need your prayers. Most days, I have difficulty praying. Actually, everything is a struggle. Thanks for your support in prayer.

I don't know what's going on in your life, but I know a lot about being depressed. I will definitely pray for you and your personal struggles.

I can't bring myself to go into work. I know I need to go. I have bills to pay. I get it. I know God is there. I've been with my employer for almost three years, so I know God is present in my life. God has always provided for me. What frustrates me is that God will provide just enough for me to survive… I don’t have any friends. They all stopped talking to me three years ago when I was homeless. Yes, I was homeless, which makes it harder to understand why I’m so depressed. I have a hard time understanding it too. I’m 46 years old with a college degree and can’t make ends meet, and I get that it just makes my finances worse when I don’t go to work. I get it, okay? I can rationalize. I also have never been married, never found someone to love me. You’re right, I don’t love myself. After years of abuse and struggle, I’ve lost my self-respect and confidence. I’ve always been a fighter, but after I became homeless, well, it was the breaking point. I’ve never been able to really get “back on my feet†after being homeless. So, I don’t get it. I’ve been through so much in my life. God has always been there; I can see his present, but for what ever reason he would bring complete peace and happiness into my life. I’ve changed my whole being to be with God, but it’s not enough. I don’t know what he wants… Thanks for letting post and for listening.
