Has anyone ever felt that there's just nothing more you can do for the world? I've never had anything to offer in first place, but the more I live and the more my family dissolves and there's nothing I can do to help, I just feel that my sorry existence is well overdue for an end.
Hi Tibian,
Life can be harsh at times. The wealthiest man in history, King Solomon wrote about times when he felt in despair too. He had it all and felt unfulfilled. There are lots of reasons that someone can feel that way. I knew someone who felt that way because of the medication her doctor gave her. It was an antidepressant that had an effect that caused her to want to do irreversible harm to herself. She had to
properly get help to get off it
safely. Alcohol, especially when mixed with a medication can cause serious depression.
Are you drinking? I'm not judging you, but if you are, you need to pour it out and go to bed.
Did you know that this time of year is the most common time for depression?
Why? Simply because the body cannot make a hormone called vitamin D3. Some people take the right amount with an avocado, (so the body can absorb it), each day and it makes them feel right again. In addition, others get weekly tanning bed sessions for short periods of time, that help the skin produce D3. A lack of nutrition, like D3 is one of a number of big reasons people feel like giving up.
You are military, so you should know how to do PT/ physical training. Just do it. Drink a LOT of water and whenever you eat a meal take a multivitamin with extra magnesium tablets. Follow the label.
After work, get to the gym or just crank out push ups until exhaustion. Then I want to know how many. Warm up with jumping jacks and then do one legged squats. I want to know how many. Then do crunches followed by bicycles.....knee to elbow, back and forth while on your back. Then you need to jog a quarter mile and repeat.
You know that what you are going through is not normal, so you can't just give up because you feel like this right now. It sounds like you really care about your family too. Right? Otherwise you wouldn't feel bad for their situation.
There's a couple videos that I will link too.
One has a prayer at the end. I want you to listen closely, then to pray with the man at the end of the last video. I will be happy to pray with you too after you are done. I'm going to sleep soon because I have to get up before daylight. But I'll check back tomorrow.
Now watch these two short videos, then pray...
Then get to sleep. Tomorrow's a new day and I want a report on the PT as soon as you are done.
Good News
Second video with prayer
I'm the Health and Happiness guy.
I will be looking forward to your report tomorrow.
