Motivate Me

Post by Nessa »

Ok,

So, I need some motivation cos when Im really depressed I just dont want to do anything

So throw me some christian love - permission granted to kick my behind even...
And inspire me, captivate me...please?

Bible verses, quotes, words of wisdom, visuals of mountains I can climb, even diagrams - I like pictures :mrgreen:....anything really....

And while im waiting to be inspired....I will take a shower and get dressed..see i'm making progress already ;)

And maybe something someone says will help motivate someone else who needs it as well.

Not sure if it helps but I do know how you feel. I battled depression for seven years, its hard.

Have you read Imitation of Christ? Its a great book. Anna and Mister God is another. Two totally different but stunning books.

When I feel really low I read Kahil Gibrans The Prophet. Highly recommend those poems, they are gorgeous.

And know yiu are loved nessa xxxx

Would I be a hypocrite if I tried to motivate you, when I feel the same as you?

No, you'd just be honest :)

Hearing you say that actually makes me feel better as selfish as that sounds.:shakehead:
Misery loves company and all.

Though, I still wish i could motivate YOU but Im not sure what you find motivating?
