how do normal people deal with rejection?

Thank you Kathy for your kind words. My Mother was involved in astrology and the occult and my sadness comes because it seemed she had turned away from God. Only God knows what was truly in her heart and I hope that I will see her again someday. Thank you again, you have given me a bit of comfort and hope.

Lin, Often our life experiences can be bitter and that is what can separate us from our relationship and feelings from God..if you mother was baptized and accepted Jesus, God will never leave her, this is His promise. The only way that God would ever leave her alone is if she over and over and over and over asked Him to leave her alone. Our hearts get very hurt and we turn away but God never turns away from us unless we demand it over and over and over and then maybe the bible tells us. Go to the bible and listen to God now and if you are being hurt by others because they do not understand the truth and saying insensitive things to you. I trust that your mother was saved, that deep down in her heart she still had her faith even if she did not show it or speak of it outward.
She raised you, and I trust she raised you on Christian values she knew.
None of us know for sure if we get there but all we have to do is accept Jesus and God will take care of our lives, He tells us so...He loves us and He is here for us...all we have to do is accept His son, remember.
Take care keep strong, Kathy

My mother passed away (not expected) last week, I am having some major concerns, my Mother was a Christian as a young adult, however had turned away from God in her later years. I am worried I will not get to see her in heaven. My friends are saying, well at least you will she her someday in heaven and that upsets me even more, because I am not sure about that.

Hello all!! Happy Sunday. I was just checking the website and decided I pretty much need to belong to multiple groups. Getting unstuck, fear and anxiety, anger (not because I have this but I am a magnet for people who do ) so of course, boundaries. Any others who have the same issues. I am thankful for these groups and pray you are helped like I am. God bless to you.

Sylvia, I know cymbalta is helpful to women over 40 with chronic pain My dr has tried to put me on it for years but my insurance will not cover it.

How long have you been on it...sounds like a little while i your taking 30 mg...did they start you out with 10, 20 mg?

Have you told your doctor about the side effects you are having? I have had
problems with anxiety and panic attacks with depression and they put me
on paxil in the past, celexa is one that seems to help me the most.

(I do have arthritis thats why they wanted to try the cymbalta.)

Are you seeing a psychiatrist or your family doctor?

Hi..I am new to this group. I have been through 7 difficult years. Several dear losses (my 2 younger brothers (suddenly), an elderly dear friend ( I became her caregiver), my father (long year with colon cancer)- during which time my mother broke both hips within 4 months of each. This is just the a few of the emotional journey I have been on. In the beginning I started panic attacks (never had them before) which led to depression. They tried me on many medications (which did help) along with friends, prayer and faith. It took along time but I did fight my way through it and off all medications except Cymbalta 30 mg. Which leds me to my question for the group. Does anyone use this, or have? It seems to make me have no emotions, as if I am numb. I hate it, but when I try to get off, I start getting horrible, angry feeling directed at my husband. I don't understand this, yet hate the way I feel on it. Has anyone got any fed-back on how they may have responded to Cymbalta? I would appreciate any input. Thank yo.

Pattie - thank you for the referral to the youtube site. The music was calming and helped refocus on our King and Almighty God. God bless
