hi there re. bullying in the past haunts me sometimes
i am so peaceful and contented with myself right now, however i was far from that two to five years ago. it might seem like i'm living in the past - but wow the pain I experienced emotionally after being a target of focused bullying five years ago was something i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. i cannot stress that enough....
so was wondering: I wouldn't be able to get a little bit of prayer for my past bullying problem? about five years ago i was harassed really bad, so vicious, so bad - mainly including targeted harassment/criticism/blame/shame/picking on/humilation in front of everyone else/directed verbal abuse on a daily basis, etc - I experienced post traumatic problems -an acute form of it.
however, since avoiding similar situations and taking a completely different career path - and seeking prayer from a church leader - it has now abated. that was not without me going through the motions for a few long years, such as fighting major feelings of retaliation, revenge, anger, hatred, feeling of unjust treatment, resulting in major depression, constant crying eyes, and even a brief flirtation with 'ideation' relating to 'ending it all' for the good of everybody. I'm a naturally confident person but my mind had become battered in a way that I felt that worthless from the bullying.
praise God I have come through alive. whats concerting to me now, however, is that when i was experiencing acute pain mentally from the hurt in my head, I took it out on my brother and hurt his mind too and I think i gave him some milder traumatic syndrome too. please can you pray for total healing emotionally for him and me, and also that I can forgive and move on - and that includes forgiving myself. i really appreciate that.
thank you so much... i haven't received collective prayer for this experience of deep pain before and feel very privileged that I have the Lord to call on who restores all. Thank you Lord for looking after me so that I got through it all.
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite. Psalm 147:3-5
Holding you before the throne of grace dear sister
Knowing He knows all things
Bless you
Thou tellest my wanderings: put Thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in Thy book? Psalm 56:8
I live yet not I, but Christ liveth in me Galatians 2:20
Saying a prayer for you and your brother! Remember that God doesnt intend for you to be a punching bag for others though, either physically or verbally. Stand up for yourself without losing your temper and you will have achieved mastery of the mouth, and that is a very good thing.
Do not look to dead things for life. Seek the Spirit while it may yet be found.
I was bullied severly by a jealous female supervisor in 1983 when I was 19. I had an anorexia nervosa, experienced post traumatic stress syndrome, etc. It has taken years to overcome this. I was told when you are a christian Jesus writes his name in blood on your forehead and it gets the demons in unsaved people stirred up-you don't have to do anything for them to dislike you! I will pray for your and my total recovery from these bullying episodes my dear sister but remember now matter how severly we wer mistreated we must forgive and pray for the person-does not mean we have to associate with them-we don't want to go to hell for unforgiveness!
