TF,
I understand where you are at. I've been there. I had gone from working as an engineer to not being able to remember my middle name. I vividly remember the pain of the hopelessness and desperation. The only future I could see for myself was in a mental ward. As I was making my final plans, and I do mean FINAL plans, something rose up inside of me and made me call the number of a church that I had never been to and knew no one at. You have to understand that I was not trying to save my life at the time. I saw absolutely no reason to live. Perhaps the reason I made that call is the same reason you are posting on this board. Anyway, these Christians stood beside me and pulled me through the rough times. I was already a Christian, but just barely. Through it all, I did find God and He filled that dark, gaping void in my life and healed the wounds that I never thought could be healed. What I thought was a vast wasteland of a life turned out to be simply a fresh canvas for Him to paint on.
God does have a plan for your life. This is not a cliche. This is a fact. He can turn this situation completely around if you give Him a chance. What was meant for your harm, God could use to completely resculpt your life into something beautiful.
I will be praying for you. I wish I could do more. God bless you.
