Christians and Depression

[Restoresmysoul]

I've wondered and even gotten very angry with God because He wouldn't heal my depression and send supportive individuals into my life. Not a good rode to walk down. I wouldn't recommend getting mad at God, just makes you feel isolated from the one who loves you most. Makes you feel lost without your faith and makes you question where your life has gone and how it go this way. Bad, Bad news. Stay away from blaming God.

I agree, that's why instead get angry with preachers who (in my opinion) are not qualified to preach about depression, or at least don't seem helpful anyway. But I have been angry with God for other things, but God is merciful regardless of my anger and my foolishness.

Have you ever told Christians about having depression?

Have any of them ever treated you bad because of your depression?

tell your story.

Yes, I have.
I have been blessed to have people who supported me through my darkest of times, even when my own behavior should have pushed them away. Now that I think about it, they had every right leave me, but they didn't. I got comfort and support. Sometimes, they were things I didn't want to hear, but I needed too.
