depressed

[BigEd]

Over the last few days, I felt very depressed. The strange thing is I really can't point a reason why for it.

I would just ask that you would pray for me.

 

Thanks,

Ed

Will say a prayer for you BigEd.

I just prayed for you. We all get down for no reason every now and then. If it lasts more than a couple of weeks, then I would definitely tell you to seek help.

"I rebuke that depression in the name of jesus Christ. Leave him now and do not return"...that fixed it........!

 

[carmen]

Isaiah 61v3 speaks of the spirit of heaviness, this spirit can attack through excessive mourning, sorrow grief, self pity, insomnia, broken heart , despair-dejection, hopelessness, depression, suicidal thoughts, inner hurts torn spirit, or heaviness itself. The best advice i can give you is realize that the devil is attacking our hope and trust in the Lord. Attack this attack against you with the garment of praise, the oil of Joy, sing , praise God and dont stop. Bind this strongman of heaviness. the devil comes to steal our joy off all of us at some time or another. But he is only able to those whom he may. 1 peter 5v8.

I don't know if you could treat his depression like an evil being. Perhaps he just...is depressed.

Will pray for you, BigEd.

Ed, I know what you are going through. I do the same thing every now and then. Sometimes it is satan trying to get at me and other times I'm just.. depressed. It happens and usually you can tell the difference when it is satan or just plain ole depression. I usually just pray about it and seek God, and usually I feel better. Now if it doesn't go away, or it keeps coming back in a regular pattern you might want to get some help, but then I'm no expert so I would seek God about it and see what he got to say about it. I consider him to be a pretty good expert. Well I'll go now. I've run out words.

In Christ,
Anna

Keeping you in my prayers dude. I know hwo you feel

Depression is something i went through alot during my time of looking for a university. Stress is what caused it. There is a way around it though. Jump up and down like crazy until your so tired you're out of breath. then do some stomach cruches until your tired again. Then take a rest. That always helps me feel better.

 

[BigEd]

Thank you for your prayers!

That's what happened to me...well I think that's what the cause of it was. It's hard to explain. I worry about everything now, and I'm so incredibly worried and panicked a lot of the time...even over small stuff. It's the worst way to live, but I haven't been able to do anything that really has a big impact on the way I feel.

Big Ed,
I will pray for you,
But also consider, that if you can't
point to a current life event that has
depressed you, maybe you should
seek medical advice. Your depression
could be physiological, and treated
easily with medications. I've had ones
close to me go through it as well.
If you can't explain why or what is the source...
seek medical advice as well.

Praying, Big Ed.

Thank you for your prayers, my mood and state of mind has improved quite a bit. sometimes i just get these depressed times, that i just have to ride out. thank you one and all.
the strange thing is before i knew the Lord , i used to feel depressed alot. But now I get these bouts far less, praise be to God!

Depression is a weird thing. Sometimes we get panic attacks for no reason. Like all these little things can crunch up which would put you under a fiar bit of weight. So i say, take it easy when you're depressed. Have fun (try to avoid computer games and TV) like go for a jog, play a little archery, walk on the beach, buy a guitar and learn how to play it, anything that's fun to you. There's a whole world out there God has created for us.

A bible verse says something about worrying. A bit like "why worry? Does it improve your life? Does it add more years to your life? Live your life to the fullest *and something something something*. Don't worry."

My brain doesn't have enough power to hold the bible verse numbers. I jsut remember what it teaches me .
