I need prayers. I am battling a very major situational depression, and can barely eat or get up off the floor. Please pray for God to make me strong so I can function for my husband and friends and family. And for myself. I am afraid if this goes on much longer, I may die...

Start saying "I like myself" over and over daily. Say it 100 times a day. Each time you say it you form new brain chemistry and create new neuropathways. And you actually will recover that way. Just give it a chance ok. Dear lord please help her to not give in to this and get over it. Amen

I suffered prolonged anxiety attacks which elevated into brief psychosis. I know how you feel.
I felt like it was the end of the world for me.
But embrace the Word of God in these times. Embrace your family, friends, SPIRITUAL support. Nothing can tear down the words of God and God will NEVER fade from your life.
Take hope in the promise that God gives us: "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Hebrews 13:5

Take it one minute at a time, Megs. Just keep going, step by step, and don't try to do too much; just concentrate on staying there.
When you start to feel stronger, think about your life. It is sometimes said that depression is a sign that something needs to change; consider what you can change to make your life more bearable, and make a plan to achieve that change, even if it takes years and years.
Meanwhile, hold on; you can do this; you really, really can. One minute at a time.
Lord, have mercy,
Christ, have mercy,
Lord, have mercy.

Though you may be having some strong situational stressors, still sometimes one has hidden health reasons for being depressed. The most common health problem in America is hypothyroidism and it is certainly associated with depression. Other symptoms: Loss of hair at outer edges of eyebrows, dry skin, cold hands & feet. Then hormonal imbalances can lead to depression.
Sometimes just avoiding things like sugar & caffeine & additives, getting lots of fresh air & sunshine &, as studies show, exercise, can help one get rid of depression. I personally find that singing and dancing withi praise music works wonders, along with some gentle stretches.
Whatever, of course I don't really know what the underlying factors are. Just some thoughts.
Your Heavenly Father knows and I will pray that He shows you exactly what is right for you and will pray for all good things for you and your family.
