hopeless depression

[kicker]

Please keep me in your prayers, I am battling depression and feel horrible. Nothing has any satisfaction or joy in my life right now and it doesn't show signs of letting up. I can't laugh or feel good about anything and I just want to die. This stuff is unbearable at times and I really need your encouragement. If I was certain of salvation I really would wish to die. My wife was worried last night because she said I stopped breathing for spans of about thirty seconds in my sleep and normally that would scare me but the way I feel it is almost welcome. Keep me in your prayers that my outlook will brighten.

James

James,

The time has come to see a psychiatrist for your OCD. You need help. There is no reason for you to suffer like this.

You may also have sleep apnea (I have it). If you get proper sleep, you could see your OCD get better too.

Praying that you get the help you need.

This is exactly what I was going to say as well including the part about the sleep apnea.
If you are already seeing someone, you need to let them know that you need some different or additional help.

Me too! My exercise program is no less important to managing my OCD than meds. and ERP therapy. It's a powerful tool.

James,

Sleep apnea is what popped into my head when I read your post. Lack of sleep can be a huge contributor to depression and ocd. I know you're struggling terribly, but God can and will see you through. As the others have said, do not give up. Get checked out, if not for yourself right now, for your family.

Pray For You!
