Should I come back? Does anyone care? Is this blog worth coming back to?

#is this drama queen*#actually messed up hurting person who can't get their life together without foundation

There is no way to believe that I can become any better if I don’t believe there’s anything good about me in the first place. The fact that I need to get better means that there is nothing good about me.

I'm not sure what to do...

So I opened up to my parents about how I think I’m having trouble with depression and anxiety and wanted to seek help. Somehow they took that to mean I want to see a biblical counselor when I was really hoping for something more in the “doctor” range. But they were willing to pay for it if I was willing to try it and I figured it could certainly help since I just wanted some assistance wherever I could get it. The problem is that the woman I’m speaking to is very evangelical and I don’t agree with a lot of her theology, plus she doesn’t even believe in the existence of mental illness. She’s giving me reading material that literally says things like “depression is your fault because you’re sinful and not responding to hardship correctly”. I’ve tried to grin and bear the numerous things I disagreed with the last three weeks but I’m really not excited to continue meeting with this person. Obviously as a Christian I absolutely want biblical perspective to be involved in this, but it would help if I could speak to someone a little more theologically like-minded. Plus I just don’t know how helpful someone can be in diagnosing and addressing potential mental illness if they don’t even believe in its existence. It’s not that I’m looking to be ill, but I just don’t know if I believe depression is nothing but the feeling of being sinful. I don’t want to tell my parents I don’t want this since they were so kind to help me with it but I don’t want them to continue spending money on something I don’t want either…

“The biblical counselor is accused of denying reality. Yet who is to say this is reality? Even though the majority of people in our society accept the theory of mental illness as a fact, that still does not make it a fact. Such reasoning is not scientific but philosophical. This is the same logic that says believers deny the existence of Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. Many people believe they exist, so does that make them real? Since mental illness is a theory and not a fact, biblical counselors do not deny the existence of something that has been proven to exist by empirical data gained in the laboratory. There is no need to deny the existence of something that does not exist.”

This is an excerpt from the FAQ of the counselor they have me seeing. Am I wrong to be concerned?

If you have a doctor you trust ask them for a referral to a medical person with religious beliefs in your line of thinking.

classicalliberalleague

You are not wrong to be concerned. It sounds like they are now interested in making you feel guilty for how you feel than in actually helping you with your problems.

#most people make you feel guilty for feeling the way you do.

Hamlet concludes, at the end of the play, that heaven has been ordinant in the smallest details of his life and when he observes that there is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow, he is telling us that in Hamlet there is no such thing as special providence. Providence has been at work always and in everything. Nothing could be more orthodox than such a belief and no belief could be potentially more disturbing in tragedy, for if heaven is ordinant in all things, then it must be ordinant in the causes and effects, the undeniable suffering and apparent injustice of the tragic action.

And to think, the doctors almost convinced the parents to abort this precious little boy.

The doctors gave up on him and convinced his parents to give up on him by using scary phrases like “not compatible with life.” But this little boy didn’t give up.

If you find yourself in this situation with doctors telling you to give up on your child, don’t. Doctors tend to prepare parents for the worst and tend to downplay “long shots”. Much of this is due to the risk of lawsuits from parents if a treatment doesn’t work or if the child’s condition is worse than the parents expected. Unfortunately, this leads doctors to recommend abortion and to generally paint the picture a lot darker than it needs to be.

If your doctor says that your child has no hope of survival or there’s nothing they can do, get a second opinion.

Even if your child doesn’t make a miraculous recovery like Bentley, he or she is still a wonderful, valuable, lovable child.

But you never know what can happen if you give that child a chance.

Or you’ll drown in medical debt and won’t be able to provide your child with all of the necessary requirements they will need to have a comfortable life. Do what is best for you, whether that be continue the pregnancy or terminate, it’s your choice.

So we should kill children because they might have expensive medical bills?

watersport5-deactivated20180924

yeah… if you cant afford to pay for your childs medical care and it’ll affect how you’re able to spend and care for them int he future then yeah absolutely…

prolifeproliberty

Just to be clear everyone, @watersport5 advocates killing children with disabilities and illnesses because they’re too expensive to care for.

amarakana

Everyone’s too expensive to care for nowadays. We’re in debt for college for years and then we have to pay off a house the rest of our lives, not to mention how expensive medical bills are and how horrible the insurance situation is now, even for lower middle class families.

What’s your definition of a “comfortable life?” perhaps comfort isn't the best thing. it’s what we’ve come to expect in America. All around the world, most people aren’t “comfortable” yet do you think they should be killed? many disabled people aren’t comfortable but they’re living fulfilled lives. people love them. Should we take that away from them?

#life #- $8000 deductible for someone with $30 #000 a year?#really #obamacare?#things are so expensive #we're perpetually in debt like our country #i can't stand the idea of being in debt #so i get nowhere

Read the whole thing, it’s truly amazing

reginaeinferos

Probs not.

prolifeproliberty

So a child surviving and thriving against all odds isn’t amazing to you? What about the fact that these doctors and others who read about their work will be able to try to save other children with this disability?

I’d hate to live in such a cynical world.

“She said she and her husband were urged to consider abortion — and they did — but the night before the procedure, they chose to continue the pregnancy.

Now, here they were, only hours from the delivery. They planned to meet their son. Then say goodbye.”
