When I first started this prayer request I was asking for prayer but instead it turned into a discussion where people was telling what they think I should do. I felt insecure about posting this anyways, but even after I slept on it I still feel insecure about it. I decided to remove my opening text, delete my responses and close the discussion. Thank you to those who did what I asked and prayed for me.

Hello down there Greg,
You're in a long deep valley....full of thorns, thistles, and poison ivy.......looking for a way out of it all. You keep looking up,
for a sign......for relief from your Heavenly Father. But you can't see up through the blurred forest planted along your trail of life.
Greg, you did the right thing. You put out a call for help from your AAG family. Amen.
Each one here is carrying sorrowful baggage of their own.........but here they are - for you.
Did you know.......one here types on the computer with her toes....the only way she can communicate on this website.......
another has serious issues with a daughter on drugs......two are facing serious issues of life....alone....
But they are all powerful prayer warriors.......concentrating their efforts on your serious situation. Allow me to join in this mighty medley of prayer............Almighty God, the one true God of the ages, we raise our brother Greg up to you just now for a fresh anointing, that he would feel Your touch and presence in his life. Father, Greg feels that he is near the end of his existence. Please show him that this is just a closing chapter in his life.........and as he turns this page .......there will be a pleasant change waiting for his perusal. Help him to open himself fully to you......through Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
And Father......bless these prayer warriors for their gracious efforts on Greg's behalf.......and help each one in their own life situations, through Your Son, the Christ. Amen.
Hi Gregory,
I just thought I'd tell you a little bit of my story. I have bipolar 1 disorder with anxiety. On March 18th I had to be hospitalized for an extremely severe depressive episode. I am doing a tiny bit better. For me, it's difficult to find the right medications to treat me. But, the doctors are not giving up on me.
It seems to me that your parents do not believe that people can have a mental illness. If that is the case, they are believing a lie. Mental illnesses are just like any other illness, like diabetes, high blood pressure and other illnesses which need medications to maintain them. I have attempted suicide numerous times and I know first hand how you are feeling about wanting to die. I realize you don't want to kill yourself, but the death wish is strong within you.
I highly suggest that you do some research online about mental illnesses in order to inform yourself and your parents about them. nami.org has a lot of good resources that you can look up. NAMI stands for national alliance on mental illness. It is a very trusted organization within the mental health field. I hope this helps. Lord's blessings dear brother.
Wonderful advice. Much of the church world does not believe it is a physical problem. Information like this is very helpful. Thanks, Mischelle.
Gregory,
I think that as we learn more about mental illnesses there is a better classification of mental illnesses. The human brain is a difficult thing to comprehend, and this makes it difficult to classify illnesses. I hope this helps.
