Evidence for God from Science

We are on our long summer break so home with kids. I find I am not coping well. Failing big time as a mum with the way Ive been treating the kids. Sometimes I will sit there and think I just cant do this anymore. Life is too hard. I just need prayer to overcome and wisdom for what sort of help I need with ongoing anxiety/depression.

For Ness!

My dad suffered all my childhood with terrible depression. Lots of prayer, a good physician, loving friends from church, taking better care of himself, getting good rest - he slowly overcame it. In my mid-20s I came under tremendous stress and anxiety, to the point that virtually EVERYTHING bothered me. Doc wanted to put me on tranquilizers. It kind of snuck up on me. But I began a much better diet, quit coffee, got good exercise, and did all I could to eliminate stress, more sleep, etc. If I had urgent matters, I just made myself go at as a relaxed pace as possible. It took awhile, but I eventually got well. In my family, I think there is a genetic disposition for it. For my mom as well - but more from anxiety, and 5 kids . A mom needs some breathing room - AWAY from the kids, at least in increments.

Nessa, I wanted to give you some encouradging Bible verses.
So, let me post one link I have found, full of great Bible verses....

Prayers certainly do help, but please don't discount that it may be your hormones that are making you anxious. You are at that age now, you know.

Even men can have hormone deficiencies too.

Rick: Even men can have hormone deficiencies too.

Trying to tell us something there, Ricko? Or just echoing something your wife might have said?

Yes.
