depression

I am a writer, a hoper, a dreamer, a believer. My name is Meghan. I recently turned 30. I was emotionally and verbally abused, neglected and sexually abused by different people. I was raised with a warped view of God, but over the last four years, God has been persuing me, writing me love...

Hi all, I'm a new member if the forums too, but I have promised myself to be more active here sharing my experience. Firstly I'm glad for this connection platform which allows to interexchange ideas. Life brought me down to my knees lately, had to take major decisions in life and was totally...

Hi so my story is a little long but I grew up in a Christian family loving god and Jesus. I was homeschooled and went to church every Sunday. Had a lot of good church friends and had bible studies. At 16 I started falling deeper in love with God and really understood what it all really meant...

I started college like most of my high school peers did. I moved right out of the house, into the dorms, and into a very competitive premed major. I broke up with my high school boyfriend, I found a new college one, and lived how I thought most college students did. However, in this process, I...

If you haven’t figured out yet I have a bipolar diagnosis and have lived with the crazy ups and downs for 33 years without medication! So here I am at 66 years old and I haven’t figured out what I want to do to do when I grow up! Maybe I could write a book! But no that would be a crazy idea...

Greetings, everyone. A great many people suffer most in depression in this time of year, because the Lord has never been willing for us to share in all of those "Christmas" things which are not His. Anyone experienced the glee of freedom from all of those cares of this world? It can be scary...

As we live our lives, there are many times we face problems we simply cannot resolve by our own strength. Problems with our Family/Work/Our Children/Anxieties/Over an uncertain Future/Spiritual Problems/Physical Problems are always before us. That is why some people get lost in...

Hey everyone, I came to this forum a couple of days ago looking for answers to the religious questions the depression of my friend raised in me, and gladly found them. Now while exploring the forum a little further I noticed that you have a place to explicitly talk about depression as well, so I...

I know that we Christians should rejoice in the Lord according to Philippians 4: 4, but lately this is only a rule, I can't have this rejoicing mentioned of Philippians 4, I have many problems with depression, I am a melancholic guy, most of the people I live with always say the same thing - "A...

Hello All, Do you ever struggle to get out of bed in the morning? The entire day stretches out before you...and it ultimately feels pointless. Day-to-day existence can be exhausting. At least that has been my experience. The fact that I have no idea what Jesus wants me to do with my life...

We somewhat recently had a new senior/lead pastor come on board and he has been doing a lot of good things. The church is growing, and there is a new energy in the air. God is using this man. However, as with most major changes, the change itself can be hard for some. One of our associate...

Hey all! I hope the Lord is good to you this fine day! I consider myself to be a steady Christian. I've struggled with assurance in the past, but I have no fear of hell or death, as I am convinced of where I'm going once I pass on. But lately I've been struggling with experiencing joy here on...

I am 19 and am a nobody. I have no friends and although I have a job which is good, it is pretty boring and don't want to do it much longer. I also go to university and do maths and even though I find this subject relatively straight forward if I study enough, I don't find it exciting at all - I...

I have read repeatedly that successful people take their destiny into their own hands and do not blame the World or their parents. But correlation is not causality and there are a few flaws in using these factoids in place of actual wisdom. The thread 'Maybe it isn't all your fault' was not...

When I die I don't know where I'm going to go. I have recently asked to God to let me know him etc but I do not fear God. I am very laid back when this is meant to be a serious matter. I don't know if this is because I believe I suffer from depression and so maybe I'm numb to any feelings. It's...

ANGER ANONYMOUS Hi my name is ___________ . I was just going to listen tonight-- I thought hearing about yours, would make mine seem alright. But I found the opposite to be true-- What y'all said sounds to me, like level two. Please send all the little ones out to play. Wait 'till y'all hear...

Is it really possible for someone who has suffered so much, prayed and still take their life become a candidate of heaven? Can God pity someone and just have mercy on them even in death.

Hello, I am a physician, though my speciality is in Preventive Medicine, not Psychiatry. Actually I spent ten years at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in an office dedicated to getting drugs for rare diseases to market and have worked for a number of years since as a consultant to the...

I have gotten these bouts of depression on and off all through my life. I am Bipolar, so this is somewhat normal for me. I am not suicidal or anything serious like that, I just feel down and dejected. I am sleeping more than I should and just don't feel well a lot of the time physically either...
