How does one gain hope when they feel so worthless?
How can I help others if I cannot help myself? I’d be a hypocrite.In addition to prayer and adoration, get involved in some activity or organization that helps others. It’s amazing what that will do for your self image, plus God’s graces will abound.
a newborn has someone to take care of them.look into the eyes of a newborn…
buckets, and buckets of hope there…
without hope, suicide is the only option and I’m trying not to do that.The mere fact that one who feels worthless desires hope is a good sign. Make hope an act of the will, rather than a feeling that randomly strikes.
We are all wounded healers. You should consider reading Interior Castles by St. Teresa of Avila. It’s her vision of how God sees us and how beautiful our souls are to Him. Regardless of how we feel about ourselves, it is an absolute truth that God loves each and every one of us just as we are. He loves you unconditionally. Getting that truth into our hearts is the tough part. St. Teresa’s book helps us realize that there is much, much more to us than what we see in the mirror and it is beautiful.How can I help others if I cannot help myself? I’d be a hypocrite.
…i certaninly want to express to you that all of us here you and that you are in our prayers… i wish you peace, and most of all someone to share your world because you have something to offer… don’t get mired in the little things… keep your relationship with God alive, say a rosary every day… find things to do with others… take or accompany a senior citizen to church… some watch mass from their homes, and i am sure they feel the same loneliness and loss of hope that you feel…a newborn has someone to take care of them.
I don’t.
You’ve expressed this before. I see you’ve removed it from your profile, though. That’s good news!How does one gain hope when they feel so worthless?
Not I, said the brown cow. I am so glad that you are praying for him/her. I will join in.Anyone heard from third_servant since this post?
I’m praying for him/her that they are ok. A post mentioning suicide and then the person never returns makes you wonder.
Thanks, I appreciate it. At least people on earth care about temporal needs and are trying to help (with prayer) while I’m not sure if God cares about our temporal needs.…i certaninly want to express to you that all of us here you and that you are in our prayers… i wish you peace, and most of all someone to share your world because you have something to offer…
I’m mired in too many big things to do that.don’t get mired in the little things…
I want to always be on God’s side, but these sufferings are too hard on me.keep your relationship with God alive,
If God says “no” to my prayers a rosary won’t help.say a rosary every day…
I can’t help others, when I cannot help myself. I’d be a hypocrite.find things to do with others… take or accompany a senior citizen to church… some watch mass from their homes, and i am sure they feel the same loneliness and loss of hope that you feel…
I appreciate it. I don’t feel alone spiritually, but I do feel like God doesn’t care about my temporal needs.you don’t have to be alone… you have many who care about you, and the best example of that, that i can see, are to caring people in CA forums… keep us close, we will help you…
If my life is meaningless it sounds like I should mark this “gift” RETURN TO SENDER.suicide is not an option.
Thanks but they’re only in the UK and Ireland. Not here in the USA.go to this site

Not good news. I had no choice. The moderators removed it.You’ve expressed this before. I see you’ve removed it from your profile, though. That’s good news!
I’ve been out of work 4 years and nobody wants to hire me. Prayer doesn’t work. God doesn’t care about my temporal needs.Why do you feel so worthless?
