[He_is_my_Refuge]

Hi I just joined this site today. I'm hoping to give and get support.

I was diagnosed with "Depression not otherwise specified" in June 2004. I struggled for about 18 months before that, having really hard days of ruminating, tears, and anger. The ruminating, going over and over the bad stuff in my life, was the worst. I didn't stop functioning. I had a house to run, many children to care for, and I was able to do the basics. But when I'd find myself alone, or with just the baby in the car, I'd start thinking of stuff I hadn't ever thought of before, and then became sad and angry. I finally had enough after one rumination session ended in me tearfully chewing out my husband horribly for things he had long apologized for. I felt awful afterwards for hurting him, and feared that I would damage my marriage if this went on. So I got professional help, got on meds, and began to recover. Now, I'm weaned off the meds, and down to only occasional talk-therapy, really maintanence sessions.

Still, I have low days. I know that Satan tries to take advantage of my weaknesses. I try to think on the things that are lovely, true, etc. But I sure could use the prayer-support of those of you who know the struggle.

Thanks!

Hi, He_is_my_Refuge .I understand some of your struggle. Maybe you still need medicine some time when all your symptoms have gone. (it is in my case)Ask your doctor you will know exactly.

Hi himr,

I also had taken meds, but havn't in several years, due to ill effects. I won't go into detail about my story, but I will say a prayer-
And I pray to our father, to continue to bless himr with health recovery and happiness, father bless himr and everone, and bless alll those who are dealing with health or spiritual pain. And thank you God for all those who love and help those in need.


Just a added thought, I had to go to the hospital the other night for physical reasons, I just wanted to say god bless those at the hospital I went to, at this hospital the nurses and doctors were very caring, I"ve had bad experiences with several hospitals in the city I live in, but this hospital truely had the presence of god in the staff.
So Thank you father, and god bless them and everone....

HIMR [/quote] Hi HIMR! I am sorry that you have been down lately. I have struggled with depression for awhile and I just want you to know that you are not alone. I will be praying for you and I just hope that you don't give up. You will have your ups and downs but the important thing is that you go to God and fall on Him and He just has a good way of making you feel better about yourself. If you ever get down just pray to God thanking Him for all of the blessings He has given you and believe me, it just makes you feel a whole lot better. Well, welcome and I hope you like it here! CF is kind of like a community, a family even, and you can find a lot of support on here. Best Wishes. Lily00

Thanks, everyone. Just reading your sweet messages of encouragement was like warm hugs to me. Thank you. I am low today, in fact fighting tears now. Had some rumination in the shower, something I haven't had much of for many months. I may have to go back on meds. I'll call my Dr on Monday. Please pray that I have a stable weekend. And please pray for my husband. He's my support system, so he takes on stress when I am like this...

He_is_my_Refuge,

After reading your post, it's clear you have come a long way. And for that you should feel encouraged and blessed. Please keep fighting the good fight for Christ and never give up! Guard your heart from Satan. Don't believe his lies, and rebuke him. You will be in my prayers. I have faith you'll overcome your struggles with a strong and loving spirit.

In Him,
Trinity
