I need prayer please

Hi Ruth,
Great tips to overcome depression and like to add, talk with your family and mates and discuss your problems with them. Workout regularly and watch you eat. Accept the things you cannot change and practice giving back. Avoid alcohol, smoking and caffeine and have proper sleep.

Everything is difficult before it becomes easy.
I like this sentence because it helps me when I feel down and want to give up. I hope you like it too.

thinking about the present not the past or future, be aware of every breath i take helps me do this.

letting thoughts come into my mind naturally weather they are good or bad, and then thinking weather or not i agree with them. If a bad memory pops into my head of the past don't resist it or it will find a way out and it will make you suffer more from it.

instead of trying to ignore the thought i let it freely come into my head then justify it

Accept reality for what it is, do not resist suffering or it will make it worse and deal with the best way possible. Be real and true to yourself don't hide the bad/weak things accept that they exist but deal with them and turn them into strengths.

When you wake up in the morning or whatever time say "I am going to have a good day today!" Sometimes this helps me.

Great advice Ruth. I remind myself that his mercies are new each day. Weird how some days are worse than others but I have faith it will get better

Having pets or rather I call them my family, has really helped me. I needed to be needed and so did they.

Ruth,

Do you ever have relapses? How do they make you feel?

 

[RuthD]

Yes, I have chronic conditions so I do have relapses. They make me feel depressed and other symptoms of my illnesses. I try to not forget to take my meds and to pray to Jesus for guidance and try to be upbeat as much as I can to make myself feel better. I also try to help others if I can and that gives me satisfaction that I reached out to someone who is reaching out and suffering.

 

[redeemedbygrace24]

Thanks for being so honest. I believe that you helping others is contributing greatly to your healing. Its nice to see this topic being discussed so openly because its such an oppressive thing.

I've learned to identify triggers in my life. Taking it one day at a time really helps

 

[RuthD]

One day at a time is a great thing to do! I am going to try going back to the support group I used to go to. It used to help me a lot. Support is a great thing to get online and or offline.

 

[RuthD]

Pray, pray, pray!

 

[RuthD]

Pray to Jesus to guide you through everything in your life. It works!
