Hey all,
Lately I've not really been myself. Bad days at school, really depressing events sparatically coming up, and some quarrelling between friends has been going on. I need prayer because I'm on the brink of snapping. I can feel this twinge inside of me everytime something goes wrong. I have no one to talk to about it so I just hope that you all will pray for me since these past events have been making sleep almost impossible and I might be falling behind in school again because of this. Frustration is building up inside of me and I dont want to offend anyone if I were to snap at them. Please pray for me. Thank you.

I try to be hesitant in giving suggestions, because I'm aware that what works for me might not work for someone else.

But I'm sorry things are so frustrating and stressful for you at the moment, Banana-chan. I've just said a prayer for you and wondered if something that helps me with stress might help you also.

Sometimes when everything gets on top of me I find that I need to get some head-space. Its really hard to do when you're inside or there's a lot of noise or people around, though. But if I can get some place quiet - preferably outside - and just look at the sky and really tilt my head back and look at how far it is, how wide and open and endlessly it stretches it can help me to get my head above all that's going on. I can take a deep breath in and blow all my air out and get rid of some of that stress. Even things like relaxing music, beautiful scenery, art galleries... whatever works for you.

If you can find something that gets your head above what's going on maybe it could help. At the least it might give you some breathing space.

I hope things get better for you and am thinking of you. Take care, my sister in Christ. I can't know when or how but things will get brighter, and God is there, still loves you and will get you through this.

Ya I always try not to snap at my friends I havnt but once I did and I hit him he never hit back he told me he was sorry for since he wouldnt stop anoying me. But dont snap I will pray for you.

I'll be prayin for ya =)

I just came out of a demonic attack like that 2 weeks ago...
I was so upset with everything, my love life wasn't working out, my school overwhelmed me ( I need to make up 3 years of Latin, jump from Algebra 2 to Geometry to Trigonometry, 2 years of Physics, all in a half a year in order to get in to the German gymnasium next school year...)

I'm gonna pray.

hey, do you have ICQ or yahoo messanger? if so, we can chat some time. ^_^

I'll pray for your sense of peace, Banana-chan.

The devil likes to pester us at the most impractical times, like at school where your too busy to conentrate on praying and such.

When I'm faced with such depressive problems I usualy get a pass and go to the bathroom to pray.

Life is like a storm at times, but it does have its calm spots of peace. In those times of peace however, don't use them primarily for relaxing. Use them to prepare for the next storm that will come your way.

When lifes troubles are too much for us to handle, Jesus is always there to help us with our burden.

I'll pray for you as well.

I'll be prayin for you banana-chan! my pm box is open or you can IM me on aim or something if you want you can snap at me all you want until everything is all gone inside of you that feels like snapping..im sorry but i dont have much advice to give when i feel the way you do i usually just go out for a long drive so i can clear my thoughts and let it all out..or i talk to a good friend whos willing to listen to me rant. well anyways take it easy and take care of yourself...

Hey; I'm sorry to hear that. I had no idea, and I'm sorry.
I'm always here for you, though. ^^ I'm usually online, so you can IM me anytime you like!
I'll pray for you!

Lifting you up!

I was getting ready to ask if you have any real friends at that point, and then you continued:

you answered.

Well, this is a thing I have too, believe it or not, I never hung out with anyone in school before ( besides the 4 B-day parties I went to/hosted in my life ).

And it's interesting what the pastor said, G-d spoke through him last Sunday,
there's this verse in Genisis 2 that said:
" it is not good for man(kind) to be alone..."

did you know that people who have only acquaintances, buddies, but no actual friends are 15 times more likely to commit suicide, 5 times more likely to suffer emotional illnesses, and 3 times more likely to suffer EMOTIONAL BURNOUTS ( which is what you seem to be having, I had this too lately, and I'm glad SO that G-d answered my question!! ),
and also are more likely to die early in life.

The reason why it's so is because we were created to have fellowship, relationships, friends...for it is not good for us to be alone.'

This TOTALLY explained all my issues, I got a big fat revelation on this whole thing, almost ALL my issues were based on this.

OK, so enough there, if I'm not mistaken this could be your problem, correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyways, yeah, I'm praying...

Thanks for all your prayers guys. I'm feeling much better this week and things have been getting mostly back to normal. My grades have slipped a bit in Spanish but I'm working hard to get it back up.

that is really good to hear that things are getting better and my spanish grades slipped when i was in spanish too... and im half mexican!! lol if that makes you feel any better
