He was like any regualr person a few years back and very on to it but was a bit depressed so went to some expensive rehab retreat for depression and since then he has never been the same. Now he's completely fried.

It's like now he's completely fried. He turned into a zombie and it's like he's not there anymore, it's not him, I know him I have known him for 30 years as a very close good friend. I know him and who he was.

The system got him.

They turned my good friend into a zombie and im not happy about it.





Really? Gee,.. that's too bad. :sad
 
It's not a good feeling watching your friend you have know since childhood go down hill and turn from a regular everyday outgoing and intelligent person and highly educated person become a fried zombie. He went into a rehab retreat as a normal regular person and come out a fried zombie.

I have another friend who needs prayer. Seriously I have never known not only a strong minded woman but who can be so down and out that has pulled through life. Now learning to be kind to herself and loving herself.

She actually spoke out. That's what you do when your down and out. You speak out, you don't flip out. You will find that one person who actually is there for you.

Just an example this year alone. Her mother died, then only a few weeks later her uncle who was one of the only people ever there for her through her life killed himself, that's the two most important people who were in her life, she never really knew her dad and he ended up turning into woman, then a month later her divorce was official, and she had raised her husband's kids for 10 years then suddenly they are gone more important people that were in her life (they split due to him being unfaithful and playing around with other women). It's just not cool. That's a big hit. Now she's on her own everyone gone.

That's when you speak out. She saving herself. She down but not out. It's the people who don't speak and are silent that do stupid things to themselves.

If your down and out speak out or talk to someone, ring a helpline, see a councillor, ring s friend, whatever. Don't be ashamed there is nothing to be ashamed or afraid of.

She needs to come to know Jesus and get spiritual support not just fleshly support. We have had talks before but she not interested. She prefers crystal balls and mediums. Not cool.

Noted. :) Praying for her as well and I hope she will find the joy and peace that she needs. :pray

I look at the depth of a situation. That is 6 of the most important people that were in her life suddenly gone out of it in a very short time frame and then suddenly she's on her own. Mother, Uncle, Husband, and 3 children she had raised suddenly not there anymore.

That's a huge hit mentally for anyone. She is going to be down and depressed, lonely, confused, stressed. That's normal. It's a big hit she has taken. But she's is extremely strong and achieving things she never thought she could and working on herself. She's not a quitter and wants others to not quit on themselves either and learn to love, be kind, and forgive themselves and never give up and destroy themselves.

ok. 1st the bad news: there's going to be lots of good people in Hell. :-(

now The Good News: Jesus saves! '...knock, and the door shall be opened...,' 'whosoever calls upon the Name of The Lord shall be saved...,' etc.

its not up to you to get her to The Cross, its just up to you to plant seeds, to whatever extent the situation allows. God gives the increase, after all. :)
 
Dan your friend sounds a lovely caring woman. You are ds9 right in all you have said. Really glad she had spoken out. It is going to take time for recovery. Glad she has your friendship.
I'm sure the Holy Spirit will be pleading still.
Will be praying.
 
I just asked her how she's going and she's in another town at the moment at hospital as her step dad is suddenly now in ICU after having a seizure and nearly died. It's just never ending for her. I have never known anyone to have such a bad run in a single year . It's just not cool.
