Thanks everyone. May the Lord bless you all too through this journey of Life. God is always good, even when our lives don't feel good. He is not a man that He shall lie. Let's all keep getting closer to Him.

Hello Everyone, As I read through posts, I see that many of you already have a bond here. I am the type to just jump in, but I guess you all don't know me. My name is Stefanie. I am 29 years old and I live in Dallas, TX. I am the mother of one, an 11 year old son. I am currently unemployment...

I don't have much. I used to smoke marijuana, which I think helped with me becoming more depressed. It's not good for me. And I know it can mess with your memory and all of that. I would advise that you do extensive research on each drug. Also, if you can, ask a doctor about it and let him/her...

As far as your counselor, did you look for a faith based counselor?

Thank you RuthD for answering. I realized I've been depressed for at least 3 years, but didn't get help with it until last year. I took meds for a month, but got off of them w/o doctor consent. I prayed and more so told God I didn't want to be on them because I didn't want to become dependent...

As I minister to myself, I hope that all of you will hold on. Keep reading God's word. Just say 'Thank you Lord' if you can't think of anything else. Depression will prevent you from wanting to Thank God for the good. But thank Him anyway. The devil is out to steal kill and destroy. He won't win...

Man! Depression is scary! I read a lot of the posts here, and I can totally relate. All of the sucidial feelings. Feeling like a wimp that I just can't move on like everyone else. My depression was at bay until I got out of this relationship with a guy who seemed stalkerish and feared that he...

I've read that caffeine doesn't help depression. And I still drink coffee. Just like overeating doesn't help, but I do it. I've incorporated decaffeinated green tea. Haven't let coffee go all the way yet. Tastes much better than green tea, LOL.

Tom! I've been feeling that SAME way! Several of my Facebook 'friends' are classmates, and they celebrated their birthdays with all of this cool stuff - new cars from husband, multiple vacations, etc. And I'm not jealous, but more so mad because I am not happy. i don't need those material...

Question: What do you believe has caused your depression: I've done numerous online research; for some, it's grief of loss, sin, fear, chemical imbalance, frustration, just to name a few. Do you know why you are depressed? Are you on medication? Do you believe in the use of medication? Are...

And I laugh with bitterness because people who don't understand will tell you to stop throwing a pity party. And I say, I'm not throwing a party. I am crying for help!

Oh, and how do I feel? I see the sky but I feel nothing from it's presence. It can be the prettiest day outside and it feels bleak to me. I know God is there, but the depression tells me otherwise. I feel angry, confused, and sad. I feel tired. And sometimes showering is a chore. Talking on the...

Oh, and crocheting - I started that. It helps with the depressive thoughts - until I focus on them. Art has helped, but I haven't done it lately. Music used to work, but music now sounds like a bunch of unnecessary noise. Which, something is wrong with that because I enjoy music. Dancing -...

I'm glad you guys are all sharing. I am depressed too. It sucks. Usually, I'm upbeat, but it's been tough these last, oh 3 months or so. Things that had me so excited are not of interest. And I realize that exercising helps, but I stopped doing it too because there is no motivation within me. I...

Not when my hands are sweating. I can't stand holding hands in church either for that very reason.

(In bold) This is what Paul stated in the Word, and I can surely see that now. Be content in whatever circumstance you are in. I think it's great to be happy about singleness; but if someone desires marriage, then let them. Let's just hope they are content with their life on this day.

God is with us. I know for me, if He wasn't with me, I wouldn't be here today. I haven't slept very well, but I can see that over the last month, it has gotten better. When I am being attacked in my mind and spirit, I continue to call on the name of Jesus. Yes, He has answered. I say 'God...

Hi Tom, I understand. If I may encourage you, you have the ability to make the next 40 years of your life be the 'good' years you are talking about. I was going to say more, but I think that is plenty. Don't lose hope. It can and will get better IF you believe that it will. God bless you

Depression has really been trying to get the best of me over the last 3 months or so. I know a lot of it has to due to my sinful ways and oddly enough, I thank God for stopping me from living lustfully, because I know that He is a jealous God and He calls His children to be holy. All the while...
