    The Raver and the Church

    This is part of a confession but also a start to conversation. I hope to spark openness because surely I am not the only one who takes meds for depression and anxiety. . "Major depressive disorder affects approximately 14.8 million American adults, or about 6.7 percent of the U.S. population...

    What Caused my Depression

    I posted a while back that I had a depression on this forum. Now, I think it will only be fair if I explain why I had it and specifically what caused it. It all started when I was 17 years old, and I inadvertently discovered a website called www.jesus-is-savior.com, which is a KJV (King James...

    My Depression

    I suffer from depression after being a long time member and follower of an extremist religious website. I would post more details about it, but I'm afraid to because I don't want to offend anyone.

    Wanted to share my book!

    Hello, I recently published a faith based journal that promotes positive thinking. I wanted to share it as I created it from my own experience with depression and anxiety. I hope it can help others as well. Here is a short video on it :)

    Living with low Self Esteem as Christian

    I'm new to this forum and have been struggling with my mental health for a long time. I've had depression for a number of years and have also got severe anxiety disorder. After many years of therapy and medication it has become apparent that this linked to my low self image of myself. The...

    Unloved

    Today I have really struggled with feeling worthless and unloved. I'm not sure how much is real and how much is spiritual warfare. Pray God helps me see the truth and see whatever hope He has in store for me. Pray God helps tomorrow be amazing, making me almost forget all my sadness today. Pray...

    Ever felt your life was poinltess? ''Depression/Anxiety''.. or??

Since I can remember I've been labeled as different and kind of a loner, not that I didn't have friends, I could get along with most kids...

It's like I'm the last priority in their lives and I feel extremely unloved. I know God says He loves me, but it seems like He doesn't care about my needs anymore...

    Struggling to hang in there

    I'm trying my best to hang in there, but I'm still really struggling, even after praying a lot. I'm not panicking at the same level I used to, praise God for that! But Satan is still taunting me with doubts, making me fear the worst. I need God to fight for me! Pray that God proves soon that...
