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. 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.
Had your friend any family that you know well enough to talk to?
Will be praying for him
ugh. shrinks. blah. :-(
i pray for him to come to know Jesus and be made whole. in my experience, vitamins and good friends help, too (not necessarily in that order).
psych drugs...blah. :-(
but, yeah...praying.
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 (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.
That's when you speak out. She saving herself. She down but not out.
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.
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.
