[QUOTE="rturner76, post: 74677468, member: 284067"] I completely understand. I have very severe depression. I take medication and all that and I rarely leave the house or even my favorite chair. They are always changing and adjusting my meds but I never really feel any different so I know how it is when you just don't have anything to give. In my personal situation, to medicate the depression, I used chemicals to change how I felt. I developed an addiction over time and tried everything to quit. It wasn't until I completely gave my life and my will to my higher power that I found some relief. When God stepped in and removed the desire to use, I gained so much gratitude that when I am down in the pit of despair, I am able to look at my life and say "I'm not exactly where I want to be in life but I got a second (third and fourth) chance. I am relatively healthy, my mom is still living, and I have all the food clothes and shelter anybody could want." So something else to consider, when I don't have the energy to be active in the church or aren't living the way you want to and feel shame and low. I try to think of at least 5 things I am grateful for and I get some relief for my bad feelings. I wouldn't presume to tell you what you should do, I just wanted to share about what has helped me.
