Mirium

I have one teenager, others older and working. My teenager is still not sure but otherwise no they don't. My husband is not a member and although he is very supportive of me it is very difficult, well now I would say impossible for me to maintain standards in the home which doesn't help but I love them all, no matter what.

Thankyou so much all of you for your kind messages of support. I will make some notes on the good advice you have given me. I feel stronger already. Alot of my problem is I don't talk enough and keep it all inside so I'm glad I posted. I am definately going to start a happiness journal that sounds like such a good idea and I'll look at those relaxation techniques. Thankyou also for the friend requests, we all need friends.

Just what I need right now. Thankyou

I don't know what to do anymore. Havent posted here for a while. I don't know how to keep going. I feel so low. I don't feel well. Being the only active member in my family my home is so full of the world. How do you keep going on your own? I feel like I have failed. I don't feel worthy. All my kids are less active. I feel it is only my testimony and my love for Heavenly Father that keeps me going. I am hanging by a thread. I try to read and I can't concentrate. I try to pray and nothing comes out. I feel I need to climb out of this dark depression. I'm worried about going on medication. Some of the threads on here have left me confused. Some say it stops you feeling the spirit and doesn't fix anything, just makes you feel numb but I feel numb anyway. Just don't know how to keep going anymore. Can't seem to find the will to fight back. I feel so confused I've always been able to work through things before but I just feel lost and confused and don't know what to do. Would anyone here be willing to add me as their friend?

I'm so greatful for forgiveness too. Don't know where I'd be without it.

Hello and welcome. I hope you like it here.

Hello and welcome. I am a convert and although my husband did not object to my baptism he refused to attend. In fact none of my family came. After my baptism his heart did soften and he allowed my children to be baptised on condition they only went if they desired to go and he came to their baptisms. Although he has no desire to join the church he is now friendly towards the members. Even his best friend is a member of the church. I still have many friends who are non LDS. My kids now they are older choose not to come to church but I know they still carry it in their hearts. Has it been easy, no it has its challenges but has it been worth it, Yes definately. It was the best decision I ever made and I have no regrets. It has brought so much into my life I wouldn't swap it for anything.

Hello and welcome. I'm a convert too. My husband isn't a member. My kids are less active so I go to church alone but I have good friends in the church.

I have dreams, they don't happen often and they have been either to warn me or strengthen me. I don't tell anyone about them though.

Pray for her, love her and be there for her.

Hello and welcome. There is so much on here I still can't do. Just sticking to the basics right now. I'm sure you'll do better than me!

Hey, congratulations. I'm so happy for you and will be thinking of you. Be sure to record in a journal your feelings on the day. Especially when you recieve the Holy Ghost. I did and I love looking back on it.

Hello and welcome

Hi and welcome

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. I'm glad your talking to your Bishop he will be able to guide and support you. I will keep you in my prayers. Stay strong.

Hello and welcome

Hi and welcome

I so understand what you are saying. I never used to but I do now and I'm grateful for that.

Thanks. Sometimes I do feel like it takes over my life. Maybe I need to do something about that.

To me it matters because it affects my self esteem and has a detrimental effect on my physical health. I feel better physically and mentally when I am slimmer. (not that I've been slimmer for a long time!)

I could so do with motivating myself more. I want to lose about 28lbs. I've started going swimming and trying to walk the dog more. The trouble is that when I make the decision to be good with eating I start to want everything I shouldn't have! Anyone got any ideas on how to overcome that? Keep posting how you are doing. You might keep me going.

I've often wondered why it is that when we feel at are lowest, at our worst and we are desperate for help we feel like we are left alone and that Heavenly Father won't help. We plead for help, for someone to come, for someone to phone. When no one comes we feel abandoned but we are not on our own. He does send help, He sends Himself. He won't always step in and make it better, sometimes we have to ride the storm but He is always there ready to listen, ready to love and support. If He sent another human we would not turn to Him, talk to Him, open up to Him. He knows what we are capable of getting through without intervention from others and He knows when we are not. It must be so hard to watch His children suffering but must take comfort from the fact that we will learn and grow because of these experiences. I dont know if anyone understands what I mean but just wanted to share.
