Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Honestly, I could use some prayers...
Life is pretty rough right now.
Mostly in my own mind body and spirit. Almost came close to doing something dumb (the decision you cant come back from) recently I was so depressed
Sorry fren. I do know exactly what you're talking about. Sometimes life just seems .. nearly impossible. I'm glad you didn't take that step. Very glad. And I'm glad you came here and asked for prayer, which I will do as soon as I'm done typing. Listen, I don't know that I could be much help, but if you ever want to reach out through DMs, DO. Or to so many other frens here. So many would be glad to chat with you in DMs and doing so might just lift a little of that load off your shoulders. So please don't hesitate if you are up for it. Praying now.
Life can be pretty rough. I seem to have been going through a tough time my whole life. But, I had to take a minute and really think about what am I learning. God Loves us. We may not really understand, but one thing I Do understand is that we are here for a purpose.
What is that purpose? I don't know. But what I do know is that we are always something for someone else.
There is always going to be people that don't understand us, believe me, I know! I just know that I have a good heart and I try to make people laugh and smile.
When you walk by someone, just smile at them and keep walking. You would be surprised how good that makes you and that other person feel.
Love Always Fren
yeah honestly this depression started younger than i can remember. Even when times are good, it just.... lingers. it whispers...
but when times are bad it screams.
thank you for your comment <3
(btw you nailed it and im kind of a martyr I guess but, my music has helped people and that makes it worth the pain that caused me to make it)
Always remember this, Jamezelo. To the world we are each individually, just one person. But to one person, we might be the whole world. There are people who love you would be devastated if you checked out. People whose own lives, trajectory and direction might be altered and never ever get back on track. Think of how much that would hurt them. That right there is a reason to live and embrace life and get after getting to what you really need to do.
As Ive stated - already know this. its only reason im here.
We are always here for you Anon. And many of us can help if needed or you just need to talk through things or talking down in a moment of contemplating a final choice. Please keep in mind though a final choice is just that. You’ll never know the outcome once you do take it. But every day we live, we have an opportunity to make any number of choices to even improve mood just for a few minutes. But suicide is nothing forever. And it affects those drastically that you leave behind.
Plus you just may miss a chance to meet Christ in person, upon his return, which is soon. And may miss an opportunity to have him help things be made much better. You are in an amazing time to be alive. Stay with us as we’ll stay with you. That’s what WWG1WGA really means Anon.
Oh im aware, the only reason i didnt was because my dads best friend took that road in 1993 - i was 4 - and i still see how it affected him for the rest of my dads life.
Good. Message me anytime you just need to chat Anon. I’m always around to offer a pick-me-up. 🤗
I'm so sorry. I suffer in silence a lot. I just remember that's not what God wants plus I've seen the other side. My dad took his own life in 2019, he was in his 80s and no one saw it coming. Tragic. I will pray for you fren. Please know we care about you and so does the Lord. You are here for a reason, on this planet, right now. The Lord is counting on you as part of the great awakening. God bless you.❤️🙏
thank you <3
