AWW Steph, I am so sorry you feel in the downy dumps
I get that way too sometimes (it is homesickness with me) I have day's where even the slightest familiar smell will get the tears trickling.
The clouds and rain only seem to dampen the spirits when it continues on a daily basis. But hang in there and the sun will come out and you will feel loads better
Sending sun to you from the sunshine state
Hang in there, if you ever need someone to talk to I am here for you. My mom is bi polar and has been treated with prozac and many other drugs too. She has her ups and downs just like you, she ALWAYS bounces back, even though sometimes she feels like she cant.. The lord carries her through those times, and she is soon back to her old self.
Footprints in the Sand
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonged to him and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it. "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you".
