Hello Shirley,
So glad your getting help and I will also be praying for you. I suffered from depression for many years and got help and now the Lord has been keeping me each day. "Why so downcast oh my soul? put your trust and hope in God." It takes time. Don't give up your hope. Joy comes in the morning. Email me if you would like to chat. In Jesus, ladylynn

I've dealt with anxiety and depression. I can't say I know exactly what you're going through, because people deal with depression in their own way and from multiple things. But I have an idea. Praying for you. Know that the Lord is thinking about you always, and He's someone you can really count on, even when you have nobody else.

I am really thinking of you, depression is a hard one, my hubby use to suffer from what they term sesional depression. I confess at times I use to become quite short tempered with him, and failed to understand, so of course being me, went into study mode and was suprised at what I found.
Obviously the brain is made up of many chemicals and to much of one and too little of another means we have these bad thoughts, then of course why does this happen to some and not other's?
Food for me was the starting point, we increased the positive and decreased the negative. My hubby is such an amazing person and even today will have an occasional bit of bad, and then will apologise to us all the next day when he either becomes very quite and reserved, or is like a raging bull wanting to tear the house down. Seeing his reaction let me understand what the Lord meant in the garden of eden and so many references He made to food.
If you would like to talk to me about the various option it would be my pleasure to chat
God Bless

Hi..
God sees your life so valuable and worthy. Those are the lies of the enemy that was attacking you. Pray and ask for God's peace to reign in your hearts and minds. Jesus loved you dearly that's why he lay down his life for you and me.
I remember I once was a depress girl in my late 20's and it seems life is so empty. But when I get to know more of God in my life, I understand that my life is worth it because he loves me dearly.My life is not perfect until now, I'm still facing problems but I believe even if my emotions says otherwise, that God will save me from my problems and I just know that he already give me victory.
Whatever challenge you have, hold on to the word of God and will pray for you. Claim that the spirit of depression has been broken in the name of Jesus! Godbless sister

Shirley, I'm so glad to see you again! I have missed your fun posting. You have been in my prayers since you have been away!
Please hear me go on about my depression! Sorry. But what happened still influences my thinking every day.
I not only felt depressed, but my life situation looked hopeless. Everything looked hopeless. I thanked God for being there but I wanted someone with a body to talk to.
There was a little ad in the paper offering help for free. I went. They told me they had an experimental drug, 50% of the people would get the drug, 50% would get a sugar pill, and I was to know nothing about the drug and besides sign away any right to sue if something bad happened. For the possibility of relief it seemed little to ask.
Within two weeks I saw possible things to do to help that hadn't seem possible before. I didn't do anything major, but I found some of the people I knew were really interesting, I changed my hair style, little things when before everything was simply hopeless.
I never did find out what the pill was, but I found out that you don't have to be stuck with hopeless thinking.

The hardest thing with my depression was that although I was getting help, it took some time for me to be conscious of the improvement. When I looked back, it became obvious that I had very gradually been getting better. We live in a time when we expect quick results, and sometimes it just doesn't happen like that.
I pray that you will feel better day by day, until you come to the point that you can turn and say "I ma free."
I then found it takes even longer to make sure you stay out of despair, and so I pray that every day you will work with the Lord, and that He will lift you.
Amen.
