Just feeling defeated 😭

I am feeling so defeated with life right now! I just don’t understand why things happen to certain people.

I am currently working 3 jobs just to manage and get by and it still not enough . I am not living outside my means because I was never brought up that way. People are just mental cases… getting assistance is slim to none. They tell you assistance is available but when you go request for it you are denied. People in your life can’t help because they also are having a hard time . I spend more time working than doing anything else. I would love to go out and enjoy myself but I can’t afford to do that and I am also tired from working and on top of that fighting depression who is at my door waiting to take over.

There are days where I feel like I am going to go crazy and spazz out. Life is getting harder and harder and harder and it not supposed to. I be so tempted to go the illegal route but I’m afraid of jail and don’t want to go there. I have a degree but not working in it because no one wants to hire me unless I have 20 yrs experience for an entry level job … really!

I don’t know I am just over it honestly . I don’t know why I am fighting so hard to get nowhere … to be stuck in the same place. I be been praying and praying and praying and still no answer. i must be praying wrong…..

Ugh! Then my health is another issue !!!! Bruh!!!!!

Anyways let me go back to work .. I just needed to vent a bit ….

... Read moreIt's completely normal to feel overwhelmed when juggling multiple jobs and financial responsibilities while struggling with mental health. Many people face similar challenges and feel trapped by circumstances beyond their control. To cope with this, it's important to recognize small steps toward self-care that can create a positive impact over time. For example, even brief moments of mindfulness or deep breathing during breaks can reduce stress and improve focus. Seeking community support can also make a big difference. Many local organizations offer resources for financial assistance, mental health counseling, or job placement, even though it can sometimes feel discouraging when initial attempts are denied. Persistence is key, and expanding the search to charitable groups, online support forums, or community centers might uncover unexpected help. Networking with others in similar situations or joining support groups can help combat feelings of isolation. Sharing experiences, resources, and coping strategies empowers individuals to feel less alone. Additionally, exploring skill-building opportunities or certifications related to your degree may open new job prospects without the unrealistic demand for extensive experience. Volunteering, apprenticeships, and internships can also provide valuable experience and connections. Remember, mental health challenges such as depression are medical conditions that deserve attention and professional help. Reaching out to healthcare providers or therapists, even through telehealth services, can provide personalized support and treatment options. Life’s hardships can be incredibly tough, but acknowledging your struggles, seeking assistance, and taking small steps toward self-care and professional help can create a path forward. You're not alone, and better days are possible with time, patience, and support.

How to discern Gods Voice 🌸💕
Let’s be honest sisters… sometimes the loudest voice isn’t God it’s our own thoughts spiraling. God’s voice doesn’t drag you or talk crazy to you. He might correct you, but He does it with love and direction, not shame. His voice brings peace even when the situation isn’t peaceful. It reminds you
