    Christmastime comes

    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...

    Are you happy and at peace right now?

    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...

    Helping a friend with Depression...

    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...

    Does the Christian have obligation to live happily

    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...

    What are Your Strategies for Getting out of Bed in the Morning?

    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...

    How to encourage an associate pastor

    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...

    Struggling With Hope and Daily Joy

    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...

    Depressed with my life

    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...

    3 Steps

    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...

    I do not fear God

    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...

    suicide ment

    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.

    Zinc as a Treatment for Depression

    I'm Depressed

    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...

    How do I move on and let go?

    Its hard to know where even to begin. This is going to be a very long winded post, as I've never talked about, potentially the root of this, with anyone, but I think its time to try and find real answers. I don't mean to spill my whole life story here, but at this point I don't care. A...

    Why So Downcast?

    This song is based off Psalm 42. The psalmist was downcast due to some trying and difficult times in his life. He may have been in exile. He was suffering greatly. The storms and tempests of his life were sweeping over him like a flood. He felt forgotten by God. He questioned why he must endure...

    I Want To Stop With The Meds

    I think of stopping Abifily and just take the anti-depressant. Just to see how it goes. I am off Abify 5mg for 1 week now and I feel ok. I mean I had to get use to it. With Abifily I get more scared, more mad and feel often guilty and pray a lot. Where without I don't need to pray always, I...

    Hello CF and good people

    Not really tried CF before but thought would give it a go. Had problems with OCD for 20 odd years and took medication-which I think has made the problem worse and has changed me. I was reluctant to share stuff as I may regret it later and also feeling guilt already if I don't reciprocate...
