i feel you pain, i know how it feels day after day hoping that u would kill yourself or waiting to die, i'm sorry about what you experienced in your life but i hope someday you will find that special person that will ease your pain and help you through your struggle
Your depression is real, but your god is not. You seem very depressed, so I hope that you can either seek professional treatment, or learn about how to handle your depression through CBT. Most of the depressed and bipolar people that I know are victims of religion. Someone needs to determine if religion causes mental illness, or if mentally ill people are drawn to religion. Seeking the help of imaginary supernatural beings is not the proper way to treat a medical condition. Good luck!
well I'm just glad your still alive and I don't care how. i dont rail agianst religion because it works for some people. i remember you saying something about your brother. is TummyTush your brother?
Your depression that got so bad that it made you want to kill yourself was your inner conscience telling you that you were heading down the wrong road. Be careful who you hang out with....the vocal atheists anti-God people are sick themselves....they need to convince others there is no God so they feel better about their own decisions.
You know what is right...stay away from evil losers. They are lost forever...but YOU still have hope.
Hey just wanted to say I liked your vid and that it was brave of u to make it....also that im a big flyleaf fan too that if tour feeling down you can listen to these songs Much Like Falling, arise, in the dark and again those are some of my favs and they help me when im feelin down and good luck=)
You did this because of Flyleaf and Lacey? I love that band. If you haven't already u really really should listen to their new CD. And Listen I don't know you but I'm really glad your still around and hope you can grow in God somehow some way and maybe even help your Brother. Oh and Kudos on this vid it took a lot of bravery on your part.
Hey girl:) I'm so glad that you found comfort in Lacey's story. The bottom line is that people can argue about "religion", but Jesus is not about religion. He is about mending the broken hearted and bringing beauty from our ashes. His love is so consuming that once you experience it that's it. You're inlove and there is no doubt that He is truly who He said He is. My best advice is cry out to Him, desperately, sincerely and He will respond. I did and His love has forever changed me.Take courage!
i totally understand were youre comming from we need to to have the faith inside and live the best we can and god will always show love one way or enouther
I don't mean to be a god-basher, each to their own, but I whole-heartedly believe that organised religion should be abolished. People can believe what they want, but I don't think it's right that masses believe what was written by man.
Belief does help people through things, but it's like a placebo in my opinion.
I appreciate that you're not insisting there is a God and I respect your right to believe in what you want.
I hope you stay happy, depression is horrible thing. Adh mór.
You are right. We are not alone. There is always someone that cares about us. A few years ago I used to constantly listen to Good Charlotte's Hold On. A few months ago, I was driving in my van listening to a local Christian Rock Station and for the first time, I really felt comforted by the music. I have gone through bouts of Social Anxiety and Depression. I discovered Flyleaf a few months ago. They are great! Take Care of yourself. :)
You're hot. You don't look 32. When you're 42 you'll look like you're 32. I'm sorry you got depressed. I can't really relate to that. Have you tried smoking dope? That can help.
You are judging me: I never Said there Was No god.
I did not deny anyones emotions.
I think there is good Evidence from just Anthropology ,Cognitive... sciences that show an evolutionary advantages to spiritual beliefs (reassuring delusions) .
But that doesn't mean any of our religions are true they could be a placebo.
In fact i think they are only a Bureaucracy between what we know and the Numenius.
I never Deny that Religion, Meditation, Or simply discovering some deeper awareness in all that is your self CAN do great good But Claiming that our sense of the numinous Proves the veracity of any one set 'Like' inspired Ideas, Is ABSURD.
A Buddhist Sense of oneness with nature is Not proof of reincarnation.
Being filled with the holy spirit, or being enraptured by Allah , Say Nothing about Any real state of the world. It in inside you, ...
And No that does not remove the reality of a felt experience. All your experiences are Real at the level of you self. I do not attempt to demean these things because each powerful experience is important to one person. But There is no need to lie to ourself on any level to have these experiences.
Okay I completely agree with your statement of "im not even sure if there is a god its just nice to know there might be something more out there than just nothing" because it allows you to just pour your thoughts, troubles, etc. out to this 'god' or whichever "object" it may be. It makes you feel better after you talk about these thoughts.
This video brought tears to my eyes...I'm glad you got the help from friends, etc. = )
Either way you were never alone , weather It was a self dialog or a one way conversation with the numinous, that brang about the change in you, It was always in You.
It was never the truth of Religion that filled this void or allowed you to express your self others. It may have been a Faith in Faith, or a Hope in Hope. But at the begining ,center and end of the circle there is not anything untrue; atleast If we are honest with ourselfs.
What does religion have to do with god? If the Particular God that your Religion creates Is equally Non-existent as All other Man made Gods: then It Isnt Yahew, Allah or Krishna that saves!
Its YOU that That is able you overcome your inner struggles and yoke you own burdens.
How is Realizing this Fact Depressing:
Religions have been is the training wheels of Society and a Panacea of the human Psyche.
It may be in our nature to persist in a reassuring delusion, ....
The fact the the Religious Pray apon the the destitute and the most needy in order to brand them as one of there Sheep, Does strike me as at least misdirected maybe of ill Spirit or even Evil.
this is because If the Purpose of religion was only to do Humanitarian work and lift up the depressed, then It would not be called religion.

I find no embarrassment in pointing out your faults. I just find statements like
But There is no need to lie to ourself on any level to have these experiences.
or the statement referencing spiritual beliefs (reassuring delusions)
To be patently arrogant. pardon my interpretation of your words as written.
such as determining from UNTOLD distances that:
It was never the truth of Religion that filled this void or allowed you to express your self others
NEVER IS QUITE ABSOLUTE, STRANGER.

I could Have respond with the same empty rhetoric that you gave me, but I knew you had already made up your mind about me.
Why are YOU not the arrogant one,
You dont know me or what my religious experience have been.
I dont know of any true religion, Im not Humble for this?
Yet you are saying Some must be true, And the only way to know is to die for this lie?
It is a lie , right, What would it mean that relgion is true in general?
gusb232 3 years ago
it is never a bad thing to humble ones self to a higher power.
BUT JUST TAKING THE TIME TO TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHO MAY HAVE TROUBLES THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE.
SHOWS A DEEP INNER STRENGTH THAT YOU MUST GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT FOR.
GOD BLESS YOU FOR THE HELP THAT OTHERS MAY FIND IN WORDS/VIDS
IF IT HELPS ANY, ONCE THE WILD RIDE THAT IS YOUTH IS OVER, YOU WILL LOOK BACK AND SMILE THAT YOU WERE STRONGER THAN DEPRESSION.
