Also who is Psalmist? What book is he in?
The author of the book of Psalms. It’s a title, not a name. It’s most likely King David, but since we don’t know if he wrote all of the psalms, the author is often referred to as the psalmist instead.

Also, I get that you’re frustrated, but
And I don’t mean to be rude or random, but are you mentally ok? You are very weird.
I just wanted to know a simple question, and why would you even “fake” vote on my thing if you NEVER WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FIRST PLACE?!
AND FOR THE LAST TIME! I CANNOT DO THAT WHALEY!
Don’t talk to people like this. It’s not ok.
From what I know, Power has a unique sense of humor and likes jumping on sometimes and saying something to make us laugh and/or mildly confuse us. He isn’t as active so he doesn’t typically engage in long conversations with people. Which is totally fine. This is an online space and the social rules are different. He can pop on and off when he wants.
And Whaley was trying to be kind and helpful to you. Please be more respectful.

you are right.
@whalekeeper and @power I am so so so sorry for snapping at you.Also to @Raxforge Whaley power and loopy,
thank you guys! Also for some reason I am feeling very happy and uplifted and feel full and I could do anything…
wait… am I bipolar?!
idk, all morning till 3:00 I was feeling as if I was a horrible useless idiot who did everything wrong and snapping at everyone
Now I feel as if I could literally hug my older sister, I NEVER DO THAT! SHE HATES HUGS!!! But I feel like doing it…
I feel just feel so merry and bright! IDK WHY! And this isn’t the first time it has happen!
for a week I will be feeling sluggish depressed and angry, FOR NO REASON! Then on Monday I will randomly be in the best mood for no apparent reason and raise my hand and be active in class and play and be happy with my younger siblings when I get home.
This happened over the summer too! For the whole summer I felt empty inside. But then the thing i had been stressing for since the last month of summer (my first EVER non-homeschool day) I would be starting school. But instead of being nervous and stuff I WAS SO EXTROVERTED FOR THE WHOLE WEEK! And I felt upset when I had no school on the weekend! And I guess that was just me being excited about school. But it doesn’t explain why I felt depressed all summer long

It’s okay, I’m not that offended. :] Maybe talk to someone when you’re feeling more cheerful? (I know I’m repeating myself but I don’t really know what else to tell you.)
The exhaustion is strong with this one
@the_lost-journal Yay! I’m glad you’re doing better. Also, sorry if I sounded too harsh

Could I suggest something to you that always helps me when I’m feeling overwhelmed?

Hey.
Just wanted to pop in to let you know I’m still praying for you Kefa.
May God be with you.

Moral of the story, "always listen to a carrot cake when it screams at you."
So, whenever I’m overwhelmed, whether by emotions or circumstances, or just whatever, I have to remind myself that God is there and He cares and wants me to turn to Him for help. I understand it’s not easy for everyone to talk to a God that they can’t physically see or hear, but He’s there, Kefa. He wants you to come to Him with your burdens, struggles, and whatever you’re feeling. (Matthew 11:28-30) He’s not going to shame you or condemn you, because He knows you aren’t perfect. (Romans 8:1) (in fact, that’s why He came to earth to save us, because we couldn’t save ourselves). He wants to help His children in their struggles, and that includes you.
It may not be easy to talk to Him at first, but the more you do it, the easier it gets. Dig into His Word. That’s one of the ways God speaks to us. There’s loads of encouragement to be found in the Bible. (If you don’t know where to start, you could always look up verses pertaining to how you’re feeling in the moment, or a Bible app called YouVersion has Bible study plans tailored to specific topics and struggles. )
I can guarantee you that the closer you draw the God, the better you’ll feel. I’m not saying everything’s suddenly going to be perfect and your life is going to be amazing. It doesn’t work like that because we live in a fallen, sin-cursed world. What I’m saying is that walking the path of life with Jesus by your side and with Him leading the way makes it easier. It makes life all the more sweeter. You’re still going to struggle. Everyone does. And it’s always going to be like that for us until we reach heaven. But He will be there to pick you up and guide you back to the right, to pull you back into His arms and remind you that He loves you no matter what.
Because He does, Kefa. No matter what you do, God loves you. He loves you so much that He sent His Son to die for you. Sometimes when I’m feeling bad or struggling, I just need to remind myself of that. Because it’s true! The Gospel is the best remedy for a broken, struggling heart. Keep reminding yourself of the truth, even when you don’t believe it, because eventually you will. One day it’s finally going to settle in your heart and you’re going to feel so at peace.
I just want you to hear that.
God loves you, Kefa.
More than you’ll ever understand.
Lay your burdens at His feet, and He will help you, shelter you, and hold you in His arms.
I don’t want this post to sound like I’m preaching at you, because that’s not my intent. I just want to remind you of God’s presence and His crazy love for you. There’s plenty of ways to deal with emotions and feelings out there—that’s great. I have nothing against them (as long as those solutions aren’t sinful). In fact, some of them can be super helpful and really help someone work through something. But the ultimate solution is Jesus. He’s your friend, your Father, and your Savior.
Let Him carry you.
He knows what you’ve been through, what you’re going through, and what you are one day going to go through. Put your trust in Him.

So I am not. But I feel like these lyrics right now: (minus the pill part)
“I don’t feel a single thing
Have the pills done too much?
Haven’t caught up with my friends in weeks
And now we’re out of touch
I’ve been driving in L.A.
And the world, it feels too big
Like a floating ball that’s bound to break
Snap my psyche like a twig
And I just wanna see if you feel the same as me
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life?
Like you’re not really happy, but you don’t wanna die
Like you’re hanging by a thread, but you gotta survive
‘Cause you gotta survive
Like your body’s in the room, but you’re not really there
Like you have empathy inside, but you don’t really care
Like you’re fresh out of love, but it’s been in the air
Am I past repair?
A little bit tired of trying to care when I don’t
A little bit tired of quick repairs to cope
A little bit tired of sinking, there’s water in my boat
I’m barely breathing, trying to stay afloat
So, I’ve got these quick repairs to cope
Guess I’m just broken and broke
The prescription’s on its way
With a name I can’t pronounce
And the dose I gotta take
Boy, I wish that I could count
‘Cause I just want to see if this could make me happy
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life?
Like you’re not really happy, but you don’t wanna die
Like you’re hanging by a thread, but you gotta survive
‘Cause you gotta survive
Like your body’s in the room, but you’re not really there
Like you have empathy inside, but you don’t really care
Like you’re fresh out of love, but it’s been in the air

People may not agree with me, but I’ve lived it and it works. It is refreshing. It is power! IT IS LIFE!!!
Isaiah 28:11-12 — For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Acts 2:4 — And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Speaking with others tongues in prayer is the initial sign that someone had received the Holy Spirit. The fruits of that Spirit are love, joy, and peace. . . and so many people try so hard to live life with our it.
If you want it, I can go into a lot more detail.
If not, please just ignore this message. I don’t want to argue or debate (Honestly open questions from someone who is spiritually thirsty don’t bother me though.)
You will love what you spend time with.
… Dude, I love that song. It’s so much fun to sing.
Sorry, I don’t really know what to say because honestly same. But just know you’re not alone. That song is popular for a reason. And things do get better. Not easier, but better. God has a plan for your life even if you can’t see it right now.
It’s hard, I get it. Those lyrics are describing depression, which is something that is really difficult to deal with. But depression and other feelings sometimes seem a lot more permanent than they really are. Surviving can turn back into living again, I promise.
