I AM A SOCIALWORKER THAT WORKS PRIMARLY WITH SUICIDAL, DEPRESSED PATIENTS, DRUG ADDICTS, END OF LIFE CARE AND MANY OTHER NEEDS. FOR THE PAST WEEK I HAVE SEEN 2 OVERDOES PATIENTS, SEVERAL DEPRESSED PATIENTS AND A YOUNG WOMAN ON LIFE SUPPORT THAT HAS NOT CARED FOR HER MEDICAL NEEDS DUE TO HER DEPRESSION, AT THIS POINT SHE IS HANGING ON FOR HER LIFE. AS I HAVE KEEP MYSELF INVOLVED IN THIER CARE, SOMEWHERE I HAVE BECOME LOST IN MY WORK AND NOW HAVE BECOME EMOTIONALLY DRAINED, WHICH HAS CAUSED MANY OTHER EMOTIONS TO COME OUT AND I HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMED AND STRESSED. THE MAIN CONCERN THAT I HAVE WITH MYSELF IS I FORGET TO TURN TO THE MAIN PERSON I NEED TO FOR GUIDENCE AND STRENGTH, I GET MYSELF SO DOWN AND DEPRESSED CAUSING ANXIETY AND MANY OTHER THOUGHTS THAT RUN THROUGH MY HEAD TAKE OVER ME. I LOVE MY JOB AND I LOVE HELPING PEOPLE, I KNOW THAT THIS WAS CALLING AND THESE PEOPLE NEED ME. BUT I AM SCARED TO LOSE MY SANITY, AND WHAT GOOD WHAT I BE TO THEM. AT TIMES, I WANT TO SAY SO MUCH TO HELP THEM, THAT I CANT FIND THE RIGHT WORDS. ITS HARD WHEN YOU WORK FOR AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS NOT CHRISTIAN BASED, THEREFORE IT IS VERY HARD TO PRACTICE WITHOUT BEING WHO I AM. I DO WHAT I DO AND LOVE THE WAY I LOVE BECAUSE I HAVE THE LORD IN MY HEART AND I JUST WANT TO SHARE ALL THAT LOVE WITH OTHERS THAT DONT KNOW HIM AND THAT NEED HIM. I FEEL SO LOST AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE......I HAD STOPED GOING TO CHURCH FOR ALMOST 1 MONTH BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN SO EXAUSTED AND OTHER THINGS THAT COME UP....SO PLEASE PRAY FOR ME AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE LOST......THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS

My dearest, God put you there for a reason. All you have to do is cover yourself by the blood of Jesus everyday before leaving your home and leaving from work. Give everything to God your furstration, worry, stress, everything. The Holy Spirit is by your side but you must call on Him everyday. Don't take your work internally into your spirit. You are there to help and if you can only help one person at a time then that is enough. It is not your job to heal everyone. That is God's job. I am praying for you in Jesus' name. Believe and trust God. Don't worry about not able to go to church as you should. Don't listen to the devil's lie. God hears you where ever you are. God bless you my dear and remember; whatever you do, do it for the Lord.
