I was put on anti depressants last month for bi polar tendencies and to prevent me becoming a danger again to myself or to anyone else.
I'm only 17 and I'm not baptised yet because my mother is atheist and won't give consent, but I've wanted to get baptised, become a nurse, get married and have as many children as the Lord allows me to have since I was introduced to the church aged 14. My concern is, I've made a lot of mistakes in the past and as well as this I'm mentally ill, so no guy will ever want me. I know it sounds stupid but I know its true. I didn't have much going for me before and I have even less going for me now..

You are a daughter of Our Heavenly Father and he wants what is best for you! I truly believe that there is a special someone for everyone out there! Just be patient, pray for guidance and work at developing your social skills! I'll also add you to my prayers. Best wishes! Jenni

Thank you, and I don't know - I'm just finding it hard at the moment. I can't talk to my mum and she doesn't know I'm on medication because, well she'd accuse me of being an attention seeker etc.
And I know that I'm a daughter or our Heavenly Father, and that he loves me, but - sometimes I just feel like I'll never be good enough for anyone, because my mum often brings up my inadequencies, often without knowing how it makes me feel. But when I TELL her how I feel she has a go at me or just stops listening.
I know I sound like a little brat but I just needed to offload becauseI have no lds or even religious friends of any christian denomination.
I have friends but they're all either very liberal Christians, of other religions or atheist, my only lds friend who I'm close to and who understands me and has never judged me lives in UK, so I don't see her very often at all.
I just, feel like i can't trust anyone, and like...well yeah like I'm not good enough.

Don't let yourself get down because of a disorder that you can't control having God loves you, Christ loves you, WE love you, and some amazing, fabulous guy is going to love you and want the best for you! Trust me, I know MANY women on anti-depressants and with mental and physical disorders who have found their perfect match, and those men are some of the most loving, gentle, patient, amazing men I've ever met. Don't let satan trick you by saying you'll never find someone, or you aren't good enough, or something. Mistakes are erased by the Atonement, through baptism and repentance I hope that when you turn 18 you'll be baptised and at that point you will be cleansed of everything you've ever done wrong. It's such an amazing feeling! I've made a LOT of really bad mistakes in my life. But, I know that somewhere, some guy will want me, and will look past those flaws and past mistakes (they're in the past, so they shouldn't matter to him, and if it matters to him or he changes once he knows then he's not worth YOUR time and you need someone different) and will love me for the person I have become, regardless of my medical history and my past mistakes. Don't let satan control your thoughts! Just try to see yourself as a beautiful Daughter of God who deserves the best, just as God sees you Continue to try and choose the right and progress, and you will be blessed I hope you're doing well! If you ever need to talk about anything, feel free to message me!
