Feeling Miserable Again

[frenzy]

I posted this in my blog but yeah, I need some support. I've just been getting worse and worse lately. Right now I am extremely depressed. Sometimes I feel a bit better, but the overall trend is downhill. It's a slippery slope. I'm fed up with my doc, I stopped taking my medication, and I quit seeing my counselor. Things are rough...

I would highly recommend you go back to your Dr and get back on your meds. I know it sucks taking meds all the time but you can see what th4e alternative is. I know counseling gets old too but it does teach us new ways to deal with and cope with depression. You said yourself that you were on a downhill slope and all it will do is get worse if you stay off your meds. This time of year is hard for most of us dealing with depression because of the time change. It is a proven fact sunlight does help depression. So get out when the sun is out, even if you don't feel like it. Enjoy it when you can. Again I highly recommend you back on your meds. If they weren't working for you then tell the Dr and see about trying something new. You are in our prayers and we are here to talk to if you need us. And my PM box is always open, I check it several times a day....God Bless!!

I am sorry things are rough for you right now and I certainly can understand the frustrating and devastating effects of depression. But let me ask you: When you look at your life, what do you think is causing you depression?

I would suggest continuing to see your counselor and/or finding a new one.

I agree with the others. You need to keep seeing your counselor and keep taking your meds. What are you thinking of the moment you start to feel depressed?

Zephaniah 3:17

The Lord your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quite you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing

It varies honestly. There is a wide range of things that trigger it. I will probably go back to the counselor and my mom is looking in to a psychiatrist so I can get a different medication. I won't take any more of the stuff I have now though.

Heya sister,

I don't know what it is like in your shoes, anxiety disorder and all. From my own experience with depression, dysfunctions, and later ADD. My trust in the Lord showing me the way out of my darkness, and just being really fed up with being down all the time. These things helped me survive many long nights and painful days.

Remember God created our minds, so the best debugger is his Word. Instead of asking what God is doing wrong in your life, ask yourself what are you doing wrong. Remember we grew up in a world drowning in sin. As we grew up we knowing and unknowingly learn from the ways of this world and not God. What we think is normal might accually be the root of our problems.

Proverbs 19:8

He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
he who cherishes understanding prospers.

2 Chronicles 7:14

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

This one peice of scripture given to me by my step Dad was the foundation of my salvation and mental recovery.

To humble, to say what God says. God knows our hearts better than we do. When we do not say what he says then we are lying to him. How can someone truly take on a problem if they don't admit the true cause? Problem just doesn't get resolved and becomes a dysfunction.

To Pray, to ask for help. To seek out help from the Lord and any other resources of information. Basicly asking for understanding of the problem. For when you understand a problem, then one understands the simple answer God gives.

To seek his Face, to understand the creator is to ultimately understand ourselves. To understand who the painter of a great painting is, is to understand his style and how it all comes together. Using my understanding as from my computer days, our brains are much like a computer. When we run software according to way God designed our OS(Operating system) then lot less bugs. Use the garbage software made by satan, bugs lead to full crash of the computer.

To change from your wicked ways, to basicly start the PROCESS of change. To apply the knowledge and understanding to create WISDOM. Remember that hardest thing to change is human behavior. It is a process, some changes can be snap of a finger while others take days, months, or however long it takes. Don't be surprized if stumbles or mistakes happen. This is just natural part of growth. Learn from the mistakes and get back up.

Depression has lot to do with the fact a person only sees the evil in the world. There is a brilliant fire that lights up the darkness in this world and that is Lord Jesus. Some of us christians may have weak candles eminating from our hearts, but that is just a sign of spiritual growth is needed.

One of my favorite songs from Staind was "Schizophrenic Conversations".

Are you afraid, afraid of the truth

He is right, Lord spoke of the same in a different way.​

Luke 6:46-49

Building on a Solid Foundation​

46 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? 47 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. 48 It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. 49 But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”

​

I pray this aides you. Remember the only person that can truly help you is yourself. And at the same time, we are our own worse enemy. Put your trust in the Lord and learn from him as I have. Learning never stops, we are always students.​
