new here.

[rsfm]

well ive been struggling with these awful feelings for around 5 years or so, and only recently started being treated for depression [although im not convinced it is depression yet]

anyways. im trying my hardest to be more open about my feelings and therefore ive joined CF to have a listening ear from some christians.

im not asking for your prayers or anything, as i feel so selfish doing so. but maybe someone just to listen or to talk to somebody feeling the same as myself, as I am more than happy to listen to others

thankyou

asking for prayers is definitely NOT selfish! anyway, quite a few of the people on here will pray for you even if you don't ask. welcome to CF!

Welcome
Maybe reading the posts of depressed people will clarify your own position.
At CF you are allowed to ask people to pray for you. We have some awesome pray warriors on board.

God bless.

It's easy to deny but
hard to admit and come to terms with.
It brings a stigma and some shame.
All unwarranted yet part of the battle.
Continue to seek solutions.

Welcome. I hope that you find everyone's stories helpful, and perhaps even encouraging. I too have been told that I have depression, but I am not that convinced either! I have lost belive in the mental health services in my area a long time a go...

Welcome rsfm,

I pray that you'll find clarity concerning the issues that have been affecting your emotional state. Whether it is depression or something else, everyone needs prayers once in a while.

Best wishes,

Welcome aboard. We are here to listen and give advice from our own experience with depression. We are also here to pray for one another. Asking for prayer is not selfish at all. It is a priviledge and command from the Lord, pray for one another, love one another. We are here to support you any way we can. If you don't feel comfortable sharing in an open forum PM and I will do my best to help.....God Bless You

Welcome to cf there is no shame in asking for prayer. We are happy to pray for you and hope you find this place a safe haven. Never be sorry for asking for prayer as Christians we are told to pray for one an other.
Love
Taylor
