Hi,

It feels kinda strange writing like this, but.. well, time to admit and face up to the issue. I have been suffereing depression for over 2 and 1/2 years now. It recently has been getting worse and worse. the thing that frustrates me the most is there isn't even any logical reason for it now, I can't see why i can't be happy for once! I may be going to the docters in the next couple of weeks, but I'm really scared because i don't normally go to the doctors, but this is getting ridiculous. I know it's getting bad because my friends have caught me trying to kill myself, even looking out over the tops of car parks about to jump, and I'm afraid of heights, it gets to the point where i just don't care anymore! Please pray that I manage to get myself to the doctors and they can sort it out, it doesn't matter how, i just need to deal with it! I keep hurting people because of it and i don't even realise I'm doing it. I know i can't go on like this. I need God to lift me out of the shadows, but i have prayed for that for years now, it's time for me to step up and try something myself!

sorry for babbling for so long.
god bless you all.:help:

Perhaps your friends could help you by going with you to the doctors, you could try asking. Sometimes it's easier to do if someone is with you. And it sounds as though you need to go...

I wil pray for you, that the Lord blesses you at all times and strengthens you so you can go and get the help you need to get better from this problem
Asking this in the name of Jesus the Lord
Amen

I pray that God will give you the strength to get to the doctors office for help. Better yet, that God will use His awesome healing power to lift you out of depression, and into His joy! As Cat suggested, see if your friends would be willing to go with you. Having a friendly face there with you makes times like that much easier. :)

:prayer:

I'm praying with you.... claim your healing in Jesus name, and rebuke those sucidal thoughts because all that is, is the devil trying to destroy you because God has much planned for your life. Don't harm yourself (or attempt to) anymore, talk to God about what you are going through and ask Him to fill you with that love and peace of the Holy Spirit.

Seems like it is providence at work, the timing has to be more than coincidence.

Is the story of a man who had it all yet struggled with depression. I pray it is of some help. I also pray you will feel Jesus' healing love on your troubled heart and mind. Know you are not alone and that others do care.

I have gone through this before. I spent 4 years of my junior high into high school years in bad deppresion. I didnt want to look weak so I didnt tell anyone. I got lucky and eventualy the Lord brought me out of it. I would tell you that doctors are never a bad decision and it doesnt make you weak. I would also remind you that the Lord has a reason for this and he also loves YOU ALOT. Its a tough path to walk but there is light at the end of the tunnel I promise! Jesus will never let you go!


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Heavenly Father, please bless this sister! She needs your cooling touch! She needs reminded that you are there Lord. I pray that you would help her to start seeing you love her ALOT Father. Please guide the hands and minds of the doctors Father. Pass peace that passes all understanding here Father. Help this sister see that she is not weak and that she is going to make it by your hand only. Keep us oh Lord. ~Amen~ :crossrc:





Love brother ~Justin~ :crossrc:

Lord,

Please heal this young woman from depression. Uplift her and help her to know Your love even when she feels at her depths.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
________________________________________________________________________

You mentioned about going to a doctor - is there also someone you can talk to at church - someone who listens respectfully to you and you feel comfortable with? I have found this invaluable when I have been feeling low, especially if I speak with someone who has been through it.

Sometimes depression is linked a lot with chemicals - there isn't any other obvious cause. The trick is in managing it and keeping hold of God's truth no matter how you feel. It can be quite hard work learning how to do this, but the Lord will come alongside you and help you. Keep trusting in God and remembering that He loves you - I know it's hard when you're feeling bad - but He really does love you. He tells us to come to him when we are weak and heavy-laden because his yoke is easy and his burden light. Keep coming to Him. He won't abandon you.

God bless you.

love,

Maharg

Hi everyone, I wanted to say thankyou for all your prayers and advise. I have been trying to listen to God to see what he wants me to do, and it just seems like he's been hitting me in the face with everything possible to get me to go to the doctors about this. I know i can't deal with it myself, no matter how hard i try, and my friend is going to come with me for support! I'm going in a bout 2 weeks, so hopefully, I will be able to deal with this now, and stop beign so stubborn and do what I should have already done.

Thankyou. You have been so much help.

I pray that God will stay in all of your hearts forever, and that maybe one day, i will be able to help people the way you have helped me, maybe even stop hiding and go for my dream!

God bless you all! :thumbsup:

My prayers are with you, dear. I can see that the Lord is keeping you for his own and no matter what happens, no matter what direction your life takes, you are his and can always call on him no matter how far removed you may feel from him at the time.

I'll also pray that you find a good doctor whom you can relate to and feel comfortable with sharing your troubles. Maybe he/she will know of a support group that provides group therapy for young people your own age that are struggling with the same things. Doesn't hurt to ask. If you go to a church your pastor might have a list of Christian therapists, counselors or psychologists you can get in touch with. If you don't have a church look up "Counseling Services" in the yellow pages and you'll see a list there of the different types of counseling available including Clergy & Pastoral Counseling.

Please keep in touch with this site and tell us how things are going.

God bless you

Father, may Your love endure forever on our souls. God, may Your daughter find refuge in You. May she continue to trust in Your name. Father, lead her to happiness, as You did for Jeremiah, Your prophet, who also suffered from depression. Lord, may You heal her from this ordeal. Father, we have faith in You, and You alone. Father, we believe becuase You are good. You have done it before, and You will continue to do it. May Your healing come upon this Child of Yours. In Jesus' Name, Amen.:prayer:

Lord I know what it's like to suffer depression as I have attempted suicide in the past and wanted to go to heaven on my own terms. But you kept trying to tell me that my time on earth wasn't done and that I need to seek better alternatives like counseling and medication. And that suicide isn't the way to go and that there are better ways and plans. That people of depression will seek better alternatives in seeking help than the way out which is suicide as suicide ruins their families lives and people around them. And that they need to seek help with their families by going and getting Christian counseling and medication perhaps. Be with those who want to go and kill themselves and that you will be with them no matter what occurs if they will give their all to you and submit to your will for them and their lives as well as their families and others around them. In thy name, amen!!

Father in the mighty name of Jesus I lift this child up. Father standing in the gap that you would release some of my faith to this child to know you are in total control. Father help this child to stop and smell the roses in life and to look at your creation around this child. To let your handy work lift this childs spirit. Thankyou for doing this and so much more. In Jesus Mighty name Ament.

I pray for luv4godremains as she fights depression, Lord. I pray that You'll work in her, and help her realize the joy we can all experience. Bring the right people into her life, Lord, who can give her professional help, or who can simply be there supporting her.

Amen

I think I'm reading about myself here? I had the same problem, but with anger. I went to the doc and got medication, which is the best thing I've done since I found Gods will for my life. You are not a losser brother. Gte into JESUS is the key. It's hard work at first.He is either LOrd of all or not Lord at all. What I mean is tell Jesu just like that and set out to do something to change it. He will, for he did it for me. And you can take this to the bank of life and cash it in in Jesus anme brother.
