I dunno...the sypmtom does sound familiar (I'm an ex-nurse) but for the life of me I can't think why...

 

[nvrbnunloved]

Please don't take that as meaning it is something to worry about

Hey everyone! I thought I'd throw out a little update. I've been taking effexor for my depression and lately I've been feeling better. My anxiety is still the same, but I have noticed the depression decreasing. How are you all?

 

[Mask]

Hi everyone !

Great to see you back Hannah and Tracey ! I missed all of my old buddies! I just got an email from April!

Glad to hear the update frenzy. That's good that you are getting your depression under control, hopefully the anxiety will simmer down soon too! Did you every get your car fixed?

I had been struggling with the low downs a bit but things have greatly improved. I have given up some of my responsibilities at my church (under the Lord's leading) and believe it was the right thing to do. I'm working on getting myself back to a better place, spiritually, emotionally and physically. I believe it's a year of change for me ! I need to learn to deal more maturely with some childish, negative attitudes. I need to learn to cast aside negative thoughts when they first enter my head, to not entertain them even for one second...after I am in control of my thoughts...I just have to work on it harder!

Blessing to you all! Have a great saturday....have some fun ! Well I gotta go, some friends are coming over this afternoon and I'm still in my p.j.s !!

Bye for now.

Hi everyone! How are you all doing?
I'm so sorry I've been away for so long.

 

[Soulwings]

AHA!!! The thread I was looking for.

Fellowshipping is a good thing. No, a great thing, a wonderful thing.

I know I haven't posted here in forever, but I used to quite a lot - anyone remember me?

Hopefully this thread gets active again...

s to all.

Looks like the Coffee House thread needs to be bumped and revisited.

My depression changes from day to day. Not only day to day........ but hour to hour. I hope we're able to revive this coffee house so we can chat on our feelings

Just remember all, that there are many out there dealing with depression just as you are.

 

[EbonNelumbo]

Kingdom Seeker, I am so sorry to hear of your struggles. I'm here if you want to chat, and I will do my best to keep bumping this.

I do suffer from depression a lot... can I have a cuppa coffee?

I've been all over the joint lately but staying out of deep depression I hope all of you are okay - if not throw me a pm - I'm often around and willing to help out if I can.

What's your flava (for coffee)? (_)D there's your coffee Gerry

Glad to see people posting in here again. This morning I'm a little down. It's Sunday and my husband is working again. He has been working 7 days a week for a while. I know he's just trying to make ends meet since I've lost my job. But, I have an interview on Tuesday, so I'm hoping I land that job even though it's less $ then I was making before. At least it will be a regular job with regular pay and regular hours

And, it will be much less stressful, which I think will be much better with me as I deal with anxiety also.

Hugs to all!

 

[EbonNelumbo]

I just said a prayer for you KS, I hope you get that job!

 

[Jo1]

Things are tough.

 

[Judy02]

Look forward to getting to know you all more

Hey thanks for that cuppa, it is good to see we are making an effort to recreate this coffee shop!

Relaxed conversation and a drink with fellow suffers can be very worthwhile.

Hope all of you will be able to cope today!

Psalm 34 - for those who are hungry - check it out! (Please chew your food before swallowing it.)

1 I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips. 2 My soul will boast in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.
8 Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9 Fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
11 Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 the face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19 A righteous man may have many troubles,
but the LORD delivers him from them all;
20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
22 The LORD redeems his servants;
no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.

Good luck on the interview kingdom Seeker!

 

[Kingdom_Seeker]

Thank you all for the prayers/well wishes.........

I'm doing my best to not get too psyched out about the interview tomorrow. I am going to keep myself distracted today.

 

[Kingdom_Seeker]

Interview went okay, but never heard back from them about the job. And I lost the phone number to call the person who interviewed me.

BUT...... on a good note, my family is going to go out to visit my relatives for Christmas. My kids and I leave the 13th and will stay through the 1st of Jan. My husband comes out later and will stay for one week. It will be great!! We will get to see my parents, brothers and neices.

I think my depression has been much less in the past 1 1/2 weeks because of this. I am very much looking forward to the trip. I haven't been able to spend Christmas with my family there in 4 years.

Hugs to all and I hope you all are doing well

Hi, I thought it would be good to have a thread where we can just talk about anything we want to - depression, our lives in general, anything, even if its not related to depression. Just a place to gather together and relax, enjoy each other's company.

Does anyone *truly* care about the people suffering from depression on here? Or is it just your "good work" for the today to write some uplifting stuff, showing your "pity" for them. For Christians maybe it's their points towards their ticket into Heaven. I guess I or anyone else shouldn't expect people to care, especially since most don't know each other personally. It just seems like watching the news or reading the paper about children starving, or hundreds of people being slaughtered/tortured daily--and we say "Oh, that's horrible" maybe reflect on it for a moment on or two then go about our day as if nothing happened. I believe we are all, to some extent desensitized. I was listening to the news on the radio the other day and she was like "A mother and daughter died in a fire, a dozen people were displaced and lost everything..now on to sports!" I mean are we all that far removed from the world's suffering? Or are we just too engrossed in our own suffering or maybe we just realize there is nothing much we can do about it and there is no point in being depressed over what we can't change. Sighs..rambling rambling rambling.

I can't speak for everyone, and I don't post on this thread as much as I do the similar thread on the bipolar board, but I know that I do care about the people on the board. I've made some close friends through Christian Forums. I know I haven't met them personally but I do care about them. When they are struggling I am concerned about them and I pray for them. I admit, the people on the board that I don't know as well, I don't feel as strong feelings towards them. But the words I write are genuine, it's not about "winning points toward heaven" - I hope that the Christians on this board don't believe that you win points toward heaven by doing good deeds! It's not through works but through grace that we are saved. Maybe I don't know these people personally but when I read their struggles, particularly ones that echo strongly of my own struggles, my heart goes out to them. As a Christian, accepting God's love for me makes it easier for me to give that love to others. I don't find it hard to care about others, actually I tend to have the opposite problem, where it's like I care too much and I tend to take on other people's problems too much. Well anyways I am rambling. I just read your post and I wanted to respond - there are a lot of caring people on this board and on the Forums. There are probably some people who are just going through the motions but most seem genuine and I've made some good friends here. If you need a friend or just a listening ear, feel free to pm me. Not everyone is desensitized by the media.
