So im 16 and got saved a few months, in terms of the world i had a normal teenager life by partying, drinking smoking and other sinful things, my depression years were just terrible, its started around 14 where id just feel depressed at night but as the years grew it just got worse, then weed came into the picture, being 15 now weed just made my depression worse but the funny thing is that weed literally effected me in the opposite way, normally people with depression used weed to feel happier but with me weed just made my depression at least 100 X worse even alcohol was like this sometimes when i was drunk i felt more depressed, ive always believed in god really and i always have this one memory of me when i was probably 14 of me praying to god at night and then after i just felt the most best joy ever but i never really realised that was the lord jesus, id always be that once in a month night time prayer, even watching heaven testimonies id just feel happy but never really said to myself why isit im happiest when its to do with jesus? so around November i was just so depressed along with my anxiety that i couldnt even listen to music anymore because id just feel depressed, the kinda science view behind that is that when you listen to a song in a certain mood the next time you hear it your likely to regain that same mood, so obviously being depressed all the time id feel even more depressed listening to all the songs id listen to, but then realising that id have to watch somethings because i couldn't listen to music I thought why dont I listen to heaven testimonies again and thats when it all started really, so I accepted chris into my life and I just have the most wonderful peace in me and im just so thankful for jesus, im still quite young in faith but im just happy that ive started my journey with jesus,

kind of long but thanks for reading and i hope jesus can help everyone who is going through depression because he is the cure for any illness
