cindy Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Is there a crisis forum here where urgent requests for prayer are seen right away? Or am I in the right place here? I know this seems like a lack of faith on my part, but for the past year, I've been going through my "own time of trouble". I've had a year of a health problem that has disabled me, and on top of that, my family have left me to suffer mostly by myself. I am a deeply spiritual person, and love the Lord with all my heart. But unlike Job, who I really can identify, I let a terrible act by my family plunge me into an attempted sucidial gesture. I took a almost lethal dose of the most deadly of antidepresents. The Lord saved my life, for on telling my family, who have a medical background, did not take me. I asked for forgiveness, but I find myself in the same situation. I keep thinking of the pills I have left. I am sorely tempted, but I don't want to die! Please brother's and sister's in Christ, please pray for me! Also, if someone know's where the verse in the Bible that talks about "when you're mother forsakes you, I will not", or something to that affect. I'm so depressed, the words of the Bible are blurred and I cannot read well. But I have 3ABN and the Hope Channel. I leave thesse channels on night and day, and thank the Lord for Satilite TV! Again, please pray for me!! Quote Look up to Jesus when you feel all alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Cindy, flush those pills down the toilet right now. Get yourself to a Dr. as soon as possible. You need immediate help. I am praying for you and trusting God to keep you safe thru this night. I don't know the verse you need to hear but this one has always helped me thru difficult situations. "He keeps him in PERFECT PEACE who's mind is stayed on Thee". Keep your mind on Jesus and his peace will bring you comfort. Flush the pills.......please.

Nightingale Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Dear Cindy, The verse you are looking for is Psalms 27:10. "When my father and my mother forsake me then the Lord will take me up." I hope you have taken the advice of shadow and flushed the pills down the toilet. I will certainly pray for you and know that there are many who will. Have you ever called 3ABNs prayer line.? They will pray with you and talk with you if you need to talk. Know that whatever you are going through, Jesus loves you and will be with you. I will continue to pray for you. Quote John 3: 16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted December 30, 2007 Members Share Posted December 30, 2007 Cindy, I'm praying for you as well. If you have antidepressants then you must have a doctor who has been prescribing them? Does he/she know how badly you feel? If not, please let them know. I would recommend a psychologist or a certified mental health professional. I don't think most pastors would pass muster in dealing with psychological/emotional issues such as this, but that's my own opinion..... I tried suicide 3 times, twice with meds, and the other time I prefer not to say how....so I know how you feel....I shouldn't be here either. One good thing is that you didn't take ALL the pills. But do toss the rest of them down the toilet. Then call your MH provider and let he/she know what happened. Perhaps a change of meds might help...or a good longer session of counseling? I don't know what your family might have done to push you to the edge, but I and others here at C/A have seen that edge as well. Remember too, God, Grant me the serenity to accept the People I cannot change, the courage to change the People I can, and the wisdom to know that Person is Me. Quote Pam      Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hold on a second. If those antidepressants are something you're supposed to be taking, DO NOT flush them down the toilet, but rather, take them as prescribed and do not neglect a dosage. Please see a psychiatrist and/or a psychologist as well. But, don't skip a dose if you are supposed to be taking the antidepressant. Skipping doses might actually do more harm than good.

Amelia Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Cindy, Yes, this is the place to come and post your needs and worries. Most members pray but not nesscessarily post a reply. So please don't take a lack of response on the thread as a negative. I will also add that almost all cities have crisis intervention or suicide hotlines. I want to you look those numbers up and have them handy. God gave us free will and common sense. Prayers work but you also have to help yourself at times. Help yourself by having those numbers near you and use them when you are feeling in crisis.

cindy Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Dear Shadow, and all those who prayed for me. The Lord performed another miracle for me last night. Shortly after writing here, I just laid back on my bed praying over, and over, "Jesus, please help me!" My eyes were hurting so bad from crying all day, that they were too blurry to read the Bible. I did have 3ABN on, considered calling, but I just didn't have the energy. I kept thinking of the trycyclic antidepressents...the ones I had OD'd on I had disposed of, this was another trycyclic my doctor had forgotten I had...a full bottle. But I remembered how terrible the last overdose was, how I suffered alone in my house for one week recovering. I'm actually afraid of taking meds. Especially antidepresents. I have a family history of suicide. When I was 12, my mother attempted with pills, I found the note she left...and woke my dad up, and she was saved. My Grandfather and my mom's sister, both died from sucide. Anyways, the Lord was with me and answered my prayer, for when at my most desperate moment, I heard Doug Batchler say, as a prelude to his upcoming episode, "if you're considering sucicide, don't, for you are only sealing you're own destiny". It's as if someone slapped me on the face, what was I thinking? What on this earth could be so bad as to miss out on Heaven and eternity? Thanks all who prayed, thats what I needed the most. And the verses I was seeking. When Satan is done with me, and I have passed the test, what a story I will have to encourage others! Yes, I'm under a doctors care. He knows of my first attempt. He is adjusting my medications and starting me on a new antidepressent. I'm praying for complete healing, so I don't have to take anything. But I will for sure try to find a Christian therapist, for I do know that pastors and the church provide little help in these situations. Crisis lines are ok, but having a direct line to Heaven, with much needed prayer support is the best! Once again, my heart goes out to all who wrote me and please...KEEP ON PRAYING! In His care...Cindy Quote Look up to Jesus when you feel all alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
