What's Keeping You Alive?

[jusrockinout]

I feel selfish saying this but it's my faith in God...

My parents try to be supportive with everything I go through, I just graduated from a masters program so I have a lot to be grateful for but yeah none of that helps...bc I still want to escape but won't do it....
I had one attempt when I was first diagnosed with PTSD

I feel like I have lost my faith. It feels that nothing matters in that regards...it seems God is absent.

Honoring God through serving all of mankind and striving to make the world a better place use to keep me strong.

How much of the healing cycle involves going through the down points?

OMG, justrockinout good question. Seriously. :(

Perhaps the world is made better from how you treat others in your corner of it.

I heard today, that God is there every step of the way, and that 'hope' is, what it is is knowing that God will take care of everything, that things will work out. (Well, they were 'better' words than that).

I understand because I have no hope, and have felt frequently well off of God's radar.

They also said to trust when you feel hopeless, or your heart is broken.

((((Hugs))))

My dog- Tribble- he has been able to get me through everything so far
My brother- I protect him with everything in me and I wouldn't let my decision hurt him more than he hurts already
My aunt- she's more of my mother and has had severe health problems that stress makes worse, I won't let that happen
My cousin- he isn't ready to take up my jobs with his mom, he can't handle reality plus me gone.

My son, my wife and my stubborn insistence they "they" will not win. I will live and it will be my greatest triumph. I win, screw them.

Yarg....today I really felt like it was nothing...I felt calmer, but it seems pointless. However, I think of my mother and girlfriend. I also know that EVERYTHING can change in a moment....

My children and the fact that I'd need someone to take my life for me as I not only think too highly of myself, but I am indecisive regarding some decisions. :confused:..:cautious:

Hope keeps me going. Hope that I will find my way through this. Hope that I will make my marriage work and hope that I will successfully raise strong, well adjusted children that always look for the light in the darkness and try to find joy in the world around them.

My family and my curiosity to know whether karma will eventually get the people who made my life sad!

 

[KP the nut]

The fact that the good days are the norm.

Being happy some days.

Jesus. I trust Him and I know that if I just stick with Him as best I can He will make sure that everything turns out ok for me. After all, here are two things He said to nuns that were mystics that makes me realize how much He loves us:

"Behold This Heart Which Burns In Love For You."

"The only people who go to hell are those who rip themselves out of My arms." (slightly paraphrased)

Cool thread.
