just wanted to encourage you all that you will NOT always feel down and awful,time will heal and it will pass,yes it may return but it will also leave,,
God sometimes allows this and we may not know why till we can meet and ask him ,but......i have come to the point of thanking God for my depression/anxiety illness as it makes me who i am ,gentle,sensistve,compasianate,empathic and nurturing,to help and truly understand the pain others are going through....
i often wonder what pauls -thorn in the side - was ,well this is mine ,turn your pain into blessings,increase public knowlegde about mental illness,reach out to others mbe strong be bold in the Lord,!!!you will be ok ````

I agree. If you looked at situations that way, then all christians would be hypocrits. Why, you ask? Because Christians are sinners who have been saved by the grace of God and try to help other sinners who do not know Jesus as their Lord and savior. We are still sinners, but are trying to help other sinners. I feel this is what you are doing. Although you suffer from depression/sef-harm you try to help others with the problem you know best.. I am glad God is using you! Please do not let that person discourage you, but be encouraged by the Lord.
