Update 2020

Hello Mighty friends I hope everyone is doing well and I hope we all have been growing. I'm back on here looking for answer for myself. about 3 months ago I was involved in a terrible accident I crashed while mountain bio with my friends and I completely smashed my head I don't remember much of anything in fact I'm missing about 3 years solid of my memory. I was diagnosed with amnsia issues but that was about it. I have had to relearn how to work, interact with people and basically I had to understand that 3 years has gone by. I was involved with multiple problematic relationships that don't really plague my mind anymore. From what I remember because I write in my journal was that these things have had a huge impact on me but know since I can't remember it I've learnt to let it go. It's not for me anymore.

I still do not understand why this happened to me. Basic things for me is difficult I can't be in work meetings because I get overwhelmed too much and I start panicking. Thank the maker that I have a super understanding boss who is trying her absolute best to worke into things slowly.

More history with brain injuries. I played football for 9 years of my life and I have on record have had a total of 13 concussions minor and major after everyone I have pushed my body and mind to my breaking point everytime I never healed properly. I just kept going idk why and from what I remember and what I'm told those ones when I was younger were the worst I would have to stay in a dark room for days the headaches were always to much for me to handle and I sto developing issues with my eyesight. Fast forward too 3 months ago and all I felt from this injury is the loss of my memory that's it I don't remember having any issues with headaches or having to be in a dark room I was able to function perfectly fine 6 days after my injury. They only side affect was not remembering 4 year (it's now down too 3 years) I crashed going downhill with some friends and from what I'm told we were going really fast I got tossed of my bike and it was a pretty messy accident.

I'm seeing all my specialists my doctors, neurologist, physiologists, and physiotherapist. Even they are having a difficult time trying to figure out my brain mostly my neruologist. I guess I'm just back on here reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced something like this. I know where I'm going in my life. It wouldn't hurt to have a few more people to talk to about this.

I feel okay I just stay up late and I wake up late as well my brain runs in the late hours of the nights. Thank you for listening if you have a chance I appreciate it. (I can only post one photo of my helmet but that thing is bruised and banged up. There are large gouges and dents in the helmet)

A dream of home

I found home in you, and I know shouldn’t have been dependent on you, but everything about you resembled home. I felt safe when you were next to me, safe when you looked at me. The whole world stopped when we were together, and time seemed like a foreign concept. Your presence, your voice, the sound of your name ignited the brightest flame inside of me, illuminating my soul and exposing all 32 pearls. You were my home. You were my safety . You were my confidence that everything would be ok. Now you are gone and I’m so lost. My light left when you left. I question my own strength and ability to stand alone without you. I question my worth and my value. I can’t ... I can’t ....come back ....come back . I need you , but my need is a false desire. I don’t need you ... I need me. I need to survive..... I need to survive. I’m not searching for you I’m searching for me. I want to find the feeling of home on my own.

Please everyone whose willing, please pray for me. #Prayer

I lost my job today. Last week I had just cleaned out my saving to keep the friend whose currently providing me with shelter's power (and heat) from being disconnected. Now I monetarily have nothing and don't know when I will have any stability again.
Please pray for me. Pray I find the strength to keep fighting through these dark times and pray I find new employment soon.
Thank you for the support #Prayersneeded #prayplease #Findingstrength

Achieving Happiness #MajorDepressiveDisorder #Hope #Anxiety #Findingstrength

Could anyone share a story of coming out of chronic depression and achieving happiness?
I’ve been depressed on and off since I was kid. For the past seven years, I’ve been mostly depressed and have tried many different modalities of treatment. I’m terrified of exhausting my options and still being miserable. I’m losing hope of recovery and could use some inspiration.
If you have had depressive episodes that seem to have lasted in the span of years, but have found happiness, please share.

Dark Mask

The dark mask i sometime
wear can fill my every thought
and consume my very life.

Like a demonic predator
it stalks my every move,
stands ready to strangle me
with darkness, and purge every
bit of hope and light from
my heart and soul.

When it strikes, I become locked
in battle with the darkness and
myself. Once I thought i could never
know the sweet taste of victory
that I was doomed live in the
dark and to be as isolated as I had always felt.

One day I met the son of man,
at once my world filled with light and
love , hope and truth .

After years of walking in the light
life got tough, I endured some
pain and slowly lost my way.

By minute degrees I i snuffed out
every speck of light, with an ever
darkening shroud of my own conception.

Try as i might to shake this somber
veil. When ensnared it squashes me
like a dark vise crushing my heart and
killing my soul.

Then God above will remind me that i
can do all things through christ and
this battle is already won.

The lord of lords my hope, my strength,
my salvation. His light of love shatters my
bonds, lights the path at my feet and
free's my soul so i might share his love
let him live in me.

Strength in Weakness

My bipolar depression’s strong,
but I find some strength,
like Paul,
in all my weaknesses,
in being vulnerable and human,
even when I’m afraid
I’m not so fearfully
or wonderfully made.
