Feeling sad/no sm
Dear Jesus,
I pray that you are doing well. I pray that my life comes together. So much sadness today. I think it was because I was on titktok alllll day. I was following up on the Diddy trials, The Little Mermaid doing a restraining order against her husband, and a rapper being stabbed and wrongly accused in jail. I fell asleep to something negative repeating on titktok…I’m not sure what. All I know is I deleted TikTok immediately. I will not get sucked into social media.
My television has no sound due to me blasting the volume. The picture works so I just watch everything in captions until my speaker comes through the mail. My speaker comes in on Sunday.
i have a busy weekend. Even today is busy with washing my hair, going to may parents house, picking up mail, washing clothes, rollersetting hair, going to work, and then performing at the club tonight. It’s only an 8 minute set so I’ll be performing maybe 5 songs…I have no idea which yet though.
I feel sadness. It’s annoying. I am not sure what will make me feel better but cleaning myself is a start. The whole beauty routine and then head straight to church in an hour. I’m not sure. I really don’t know. All I know Jesus is- I need you.
Jesus, I want happiness in my life. I try not to think of the past but it surrounds me. It’s everywhere. I feel so sad allll the time. Like I’m just going through the motions of life.
im always sad and I don’t want to be. Please Father, take this depression off of me. I want to experience joy! Tonight should be joy….seeing my parents should be joy… a lot of things should be joy. But it’s not. It makes me sad that I’m not in a better position in life.
Please guide me . Please help me mentally. Most of all, please comfort me in your loving arms. In Jesus name…amen
That sounds like a really tough day, and it takes courage to be so open about those feelings. It’s completely understandable that getting caught up in all that heavy news on TikTok would bring you down. Sometimes those algorithms just keep feeding us negativity. Deleting the app sounds like a really positive step for your mental well-being right now.
It’s good that you have a busy day planned with things like seeing your parents and performing. Hopefully, those things will bring a little lift to your spirits, even if it feels hard right now. It’s also great that your speaker is arriving soon – watching everything with captions can’t be much fun!
Remember that it’s okay to feel sad, and acknowledging those feelings is the first step. Be gentle with yourself today. Sometimes just going through the motions is what we need to do, and hopefully, moments of joy will peek through. Sending you strength for your performance tonight and hoping that being around your parents brings you some comfort. You’re taking good steps by focusing on self-care and reaching out.
@ty-jackson I really appreciate your comment. Makes me feel seen. And it made me crack my first genuine smile today. Thank you
