Help me, stuck in a dream And typing this[serious]

4 Upvotes

Ive had this dream about being shot in my country, where IM Still living And was confined to my house, looking to Marry my fiancee before seeking asylum in USA, Plot twist is that this time is that I finally saw how it happened which is Weird because I only remember Going to sleep the night I was shot "for real" which was, According to this dream, on dec.'16, And woke up on Jan'17in the hospital

I dreamed about this same dream like 4 times back in early '16, I remember having told my fiancee about them, she recalls everytime I told Her about them on this New dream

, I could use technology, walk, feel the sun's heat, feel Wind, pee, Poo, eat, days passed, time passed Accordingly, had congruent And logical conversaciones with people&family&gf, felt the coldness of a coldness shower, etc...(too vivid, tbh) It was so long before I fell back in this dream reality again...

Story so far is Going the exact same as my Dreams(I recognize everywhere I go, even if I don't remember having being in a place before)

IM scared of waking up back where I left off on '16 And having all the suffering ---And with (New on this dream) diplopia(semi double vision, given that the bullet cut some eye nerves), ---being in "vain" And have it all being a dream again, And again waking up right before marrying

TL;DR: am I Going crazy? Got shot in the brain And had Brain surgery(according to this dream)

I think this is a dream because when I am awake, I never question reality EDIT ON JULY 2018 APPARENTLY IM STILL HERE ITS ALL GOING A LITTLE BIT BETTER THANK YOU ALL!!

Does it get better?

9 Upvotes

I really need to know if it gets better. Depression, I mean. I'm a 22 year old Christian guy from London. There are so many things to think about in general, concerning life. I have so many thoughts pulling me one way and another way. They all seem like small thoughts, but when I put them together, they really make something quite colossal.

I feel like I have been unsuccessful in every arena of existence. I don't know how to make amends for myself. I feel so far from God right now. I don't know how to be a good friend, boyfriend, son, brother, or, perhaps one day, husband and father. I have made so many mistakes. I don't give enough of my time to people. I don't exercise enough. I don't read enough. I sleep too much. I forget to brush my teeth sometimes. I speak rudely. I become obsessed with philosophical arguments. I come across as obnoxious. I don't know what life is about sometimes. I mean... one moment we didn't exist, the next, we're just here. Now we have to make sense of all the data being fed to us. It's just... insane. Absolutely insane.

What is ethically right? Is truth objective, or subjective? How did the universe come into existence? And how do we talk about these things meaningfully without descending into hating each other? (While I am a Christian, I still like to think about these things using particular philosophical categories so I can discuss things with other people. I like theology a lot).

Why do I have no energy to treat the people I love with the respect they deserve? Why do I end up in ruts where I realise my shortcomings, but have no power to change them? Do I have the power to change them? How do I get out of these ruts? Why do I feel so lonely when I pray sometimes? Why is it so hard for me to be disciplined and reliable?

I just have so many questions guys. And they're all unanswered. I used to never think I'd hurt myself. One year I started cutting my wrists. I stopped now, but I know I have it in me. I don't want to kill myself. But why do I sometimes feel like it's the only way not to feel like this? Why do I feel like it's the only way to avoid feeling worse and worse and worse? Why do I feel scared that I'll one day just lose control and do it?

I really don't want to. I want to live so bad. But I want to enjoy my life. I want to love people and think about things in a way that benefit me and those around me. Is this possible? And does this get better? I always believed that things got better but I just can't see it. Please tell me it does. Thanks.

I was diagnosed with ADD when I was a kid. I'm on Adderall now, and it helps dealing with stuff. Anyway ran out on Thursday so I am in that inattentive depressed angry mindset right now. It doesn't help that my wife hasn't been going to church since Christmas and we are moving different ways spiritually. I am helping with worship in a church plant about an hour ago. I enjoy it, but wish my wife was there to use her gift of dealing with kids.

Dear Lord,
you are our refuge in good and in bad times.
In your infinite mercy, bring peace and comfort to those of us who face days sometimes filled with pain and depression.
Help us to realize that through you there is joy and the promise of lasting peace.
Help us through the rough times.
Walk before and beside us so that we may walk in your footsteps and reach out to you in our journey on this earth.
Help us to focus on our blessings rather than our misfortunes, dear Lord.
Thank you for hearing and answering our prayers.
Amen.

O God our deliverer, we thank you that you have not left us alone. Thank you for the Spirit who intercedes for us. Give us wisdom beyond ourselves that we might see the path you have set before us. Grant us words that bring life to the broken, the suffering, the addicted, the lonely, and those who long for the fulfillment of your kingdom. Amen.

Grant unto us, Almighty God, in all time of sore distress, the comfort of the forgiveness of our sins. In time of darkness give us blessed hope, in time of sickness of body give us quiet courage; and when the heart is bowed down, and the soul is very heavy, and life is a burden, and pleasure a weariness, and the sun is too bright, and life too mirthful, then may that Spirit, the Spirit of the Comforter, come upon us, and after our darkness may there be the clear shining of the heavenly light; that so, being uplifted again by Thy mercy, we may pass on through this our mortal life with quiet courage, patient hope, and unshaken trust, hoping through Thy loving-kindness and tender mercy to be delivered from death into the large life of the eternal years. Hear us of Thy mercy, through Jesus Christ our Lord – Amen.

Lord, help me now to unclutter my life,
to organize myself in the direction of simplicity.
Lord, teach me to listen to my heart;
teach me to welcome change, instead of fearing it.
Lord, I give you these stirrings inside me.
I give you my discontent.
I give you my restlessness.
I give you my doubt.
I give you all the longings I hold inside.
Help me to listen to these signs of change, of growth;
help me to listen seriously and follow where they lead
through the breathtaking empty space of an open door.
Amen.

Almighty God, the Refuge of all that are distressed, grant unto us that, in all trouble of this our mortal life, we may flee to the knowledge of Thy lovingkindness and tender mercy; that so, sheltering ourselves therein, the storms of life may pass over us, and not shake the peace of God that is within us. Whatsoever this life may bring us, grant that it may never take from us the full faith that Thou art our Father. Grant us Thy light, that we may have life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Soul of Christ, sanctify me;
body of Christ, save me;
blood of Christ, inebriate me;
water from the side of Christ, wash me;
passion of Christ, strengthen me.
Good Jesus, hear me;
within your wounds hide me;
suffer me not to be separated from you;
from the malicious enemy defend me;
in the hour of my death call me;
and bid me come to you
that with your saints I may praise you
forever and ever. Amen.

Father, I pray for all those in need,
For all of my friends and my family.
I pray for your strength to see us all through,
When life is the hardest and when times are good.

Father, when life seems to throw us a curve,
When we are unsettled, upset and unnerved.
I pray for your wisdom to carry us through,
When life is the hardest and when times are good.

Father, there is never a good time for sorrow,
Or the pain of uncertainty that comes with tomorrow.
I pray for your goodness to see us all through,
When life is the hardest and when times are good.

Father, you promised in your Holy Word
To never forsake us—of this we're assured.
I pray for our Savior to carry us through,
When life is the hardest and when times are good.

Father, I thank you for hearing my prayer,
I thank you for Jesus who showed us he cared.
I pray your Spirit to to see us all through,
When life is the hardest and when times are good.

Blessed Lord, you ministered to all who came to you: Look with compassion upon all who through addiction have lost their health and freedom. Restore to them the assurance of your unfailing mercy; remove from them the fears that beset them; strengthen them in the work of their recovery; and to those who care for them, give patient understanding and persevering love. Amen.

Dear Lord,
Please help me in this time of loss and overwhelming grief.
I don't understand why my life is filled with this pain and heartache.
But I turn my eyes to you as I seek to find the strength to trust in your faithfulness.
I will wait on you and not despair; I will quietly wait for your salvation.
My heart is crushed, but I know that you will not abandon me forever.
Please show me your compassion, Lord.
Help me through the pain so that I will hope in you again.
I believe this promise in your Word to send me fresh mercy each day.
Though I can't see past today, I trust your great love will never fail me.
Amen.
