First of all, I want to apologize for my last thread.

I was going through a pity party. I was only focusing on myself. It was selfish and narcissistic. I do go through depression; and I will probably always go through depression. But that's not anybody's problem but my own. I am sure everybody goes through depression and yet they don't go around saying, "please love me please love me." I feel ridiculous.

I have to admit, I'm a little embarrassed by my own thread. Yes, at that time I was hurting. And I will probably go through times when I am hurting and feeling like that.

The key is not to whine and complain to other people, so that they can do something for me. I don't need the attention, or that kind of attention. I may need a little bit of attention for somebody tell me to me to grow up and be a man. But not the pity type of attention.

So I just want to apologize for whining and complaining. The truth is I shouldn't depend on other people to make me happy. That is not the answer at all. And I shouldn't focus on what people can do for me.

I mean, I saw a video of what is going on in Syria. A Teenage boy lost his mom. Families are being torn apart by the war that's going on in Syria. This kind of puts things in perspective. And yet, I'm worried about not feeling loved and what other people can do for me. Yeah, I was very very selfish.

I didn't see the thread you're mentioning, but don't apologize.

Everybody gets down sometime. Sometimes it's helpful to vent.

I do my share of complaining and then I'll hear about true hardship and it snaps me out of it. I can't imagine that there are people who never feel down.

People voice their troubles and request prayer...nothing wrong with that.

I think it's good for people to share how they feel, it's necessary. If you don't have someone you can share your most intimate thoughts with, you should find one. But this site seems like a fairly safe place to do it.

Don't be sorry or embarrassed. Everyone needs to cry sometimes, even feel a little self pity, but then you pick yourself up and keep praying. Don't be ashamed for sharing and opening up and asking for help, advice. Hang in there. I did see your other post and I'm praying for you. God bless. :)

The key is not to whine and complain to other people

I would say the actual key, or goal to be more specific is to be depression free. This is indeed possible, but you need to make it a priority and be determined to be depression free. Take whatever treatment is recommended for you, and make sure you are right with God. By that I don't mean being perfect and to completely stop sinning, what I mean is to know in your heart that God loves you despite your sins. And nothing can separate you from his love, as the word says. But without faith nothing you do will mean anything. Faith is vitally important, believing every word of the bible is important. When you believe the bible means what it says, and says what i means, your depression will slowly dissipate. But you shouldn't just settle for being depressed, there is a way out. You don't have to be this way.
