:wave: Good morning, although it's mid-afternoon for me in England! I feel kinda proud of myself today :) I made my first doctor's appointment to talk about my depression, I found out that I passed my year at uni, and I did all the weights I'm supposed to do at the gym - woo! It was weird...

Catherineanne - thanks for your advice about holding on to a cross. I did that last weekend to stop myself from wanting to punch someone in the face, it really worked!

No worries any more. Mods, feel free to delete :)

Today is not so good... I woke up just feeling down on myself for no reason. I did go to the gym and I'm staying over with my sister so that's made me feel a bit better, but I still feel, just, meh. Jo, how are you doing today?

PM me if you would like to talk about it :) if it helps, just because you made a mistake, doesn't mean you're stupid.

So I'm generally feeling better about life, but I was chatting to a friend of mine and she thought that I should look into asking a doctor about getting antidepressants. I'm not sure because I don't want to need them to just have a normal day. So I thought I'd ask you guys what your opinions are...

Now feeling much less nervous :) Weekend wasn't brilliant, but much less awkward than it could've been. Hopefully things will now get better. ((((Jo1)))) Why? What's going on?

Still feeling ridiculously nervous. I'm hanging out with some friends in the area where my ex lives, and earlier I was in one of their flat's which is below my ex's and he was upstairs with his new girlfriend and just knowing that makes me feel sick with nerves. I've taken to carrying round a...

I'm nervous - this weekend I'm going to see my ex boyfriend for the first time since we broke up and since he got a new girlfriend. I want to be able to love them both as God wants me to but I'm worried that I'm just gonna get really angry, especially with him, and come out with all the...

Don't keep your feelings to yourself here! If you can't share your feelings with other Christians (most of whom are struggling in the same ways as you), where can you share them? We're all here for you no matter how silly you think your thoughts and feelings are :hug::hug::hug:

'I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way that he loves us, oh how he loves us, oh how he loves us, oh how he loves' -- 'How He Loves' by John Mark McMillan Genuinely, no one has time to live in their past mistakes when we think about all that God has in store...

Nope, just helping at a youth club, watching people play football in the rain :) Although I'm sure that all the people who are going to Greenbelt will be thankful for dry socks and jeans when they get back - this weekend looks set to be pretty wet!

Dry, warm socks and jeans, and good company :)

So I have been struggling with depression for the last couple of years, but only figured it out about two/three weeks ago. I'm trying not to focus on my problems anymore so I thought that I would write here the things that I've learnt or that God has placed on my heart that help me daily. I may...

Today I am thankful for the warmth of the sun, the rain (because even though I don't like it, it's amazing that there would be no life without it!), the feeling of the wind blowing your hair away from your face, that I don't need to use drugs or alcohol to have fun, and the fact that being with...

I'm thankful for Verdi's ice cream, and the amazing amount and variety of plants in the world. I am definitely not thankful for my overactive imagination when I'm in the house alone for the night...

Hillsong - Healer The whole song speaks really powerfully to me. No matter what you think about Mike Guggliamucci, I think that his lyrics still ring true whether you're battling with depression, cancer, or compulsive lying and inappropriate contentography addiction. Ben Cantelon - Coming Back Break me...

Today I am thankful for... The Welsh countryside Cough medicine My grandma The fact that I got to spend 20 years with my granddad before he died last November

My friends (who would happily beat up my ex for breaking my heart twice ^_^ ) My family, especially my mum, dad and sister God!! A car that works My possessions, especially my laptop and creative supplies My home My (relative) health, seeing as how I can walk, see, hear, and aren't...

I haven't listened to any of these songs yet, but I think it's an excellent idea for a thread. Here are some of my favourites, and the lyrics that particularly stand out to me when I'm having a really bad day... John Mark McMillan - How He Loves So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss...
