I just came back from a whole weekend with Women's Ministries at Cohutta Springs in ga. Does your church have a Women's retreat? Call your church and go! Satan has gotten on your back..In the name of Jesus bind him off. Just like the woman in the bible who Jesus said come...she had been bent over for 18 years. Pray this that you will hold His feet to the fire that He will content with the one who contends with you. We must realize that warfare is real! Get real back! Jesus died on the cross for you and He loves you and heaven awaits us, so don't let Satan trap your mind so you can't work for your Jesus and be a blessing to others.

There are many times in life when one feels depressed, but as the one who said that God is the answer to depression is right and He can "HUG" away those thoughts, and bring total peace and love back into your life. I went through this for many years of seeing counsillors and I probably was in more women's groups than most people ever are, but then I truly found that wonderful peace when I was able to forgive others and forgive myself.
Forgiving myself, seemed to be a selfish act, but together they have made a differnce in my life, and in my walk with the Lord. It was a nephew who told me that I needed to forgive others too and not just ask for forgiveness. It made a total difference in my life and in my relationship with his parents, and I Praise the Lord for that as they are both deceased now and those weeks of Love between us before their deaths was so precious to me and our singing together around my brothers bed and then taking care of his wife later was the real healing for the three of us. Someday I will see them again in the resurrection.
I am not involved with any mental health anymore, and some of my best friends are still there and they wonder why I quit. I do not need to go, and one of my first therapists is one of my friends and only 4 days older than I am, and I am very proud of her. I saw her go back to school and get her doctorate when her 4 daughters were doing the same. She is retired now and has articles in the newspaper, that make me laugh and cry at the same time.
She knows that I write too, but mine does not hit the guest writer list in the paper. I do not care, I only care what my Lord thinks about what I write, and that it brings Glory to Him and not me.

Please do not loose hope, remember the Hebrew children while in Egypt. "The Lord said, "I have surely seen the afficition of my people for I know their sorrows and I am come down to deliver them." God see and hear your sorrows and He feels your pain. Do not loose hope. God will strengthn you and the depression will pass.

My heart goes out to you guys. As a mental health professional, I am here to tell you that depression is a real illness. It is not a weakness of character or a lack of faith. There are different component to depression. A loss or someone or some other situation can cause depression. In that circumstance the support of love ones or professional therapy can help. There is another component, where there is a chemical imbalance brought on by genetics, diets, early childhod trauma or a number of other factors. In this cause you may need to see a psychiatrist to consider a medication regimen. If medication is started, you should be closely monitored and supported because as the medication pulls you out of depression you may be bombarded with suicidal ideation. If you are depressed, please do not suffer alone. Seek help from your love ones or a professional. Feel free to contact me if you need additional info or just a kind word. God's love be with you.

A few years ago I suffered really bad depression as well. I even contemplated suicide as my family turned away from me because they didn't know what to do. I was constantly told that I should have more faith and that my faith wasn't strong enough. This made me more depressed as all I seemed to be doing was praying to God. All I had to fall back on was God and nothing else. Yet even that didn't seem to work as I was expecting a quick fix. The mother of a friend of mine said that sometimes God allows depression to happen to us so that we will fall on him and learn to totally rely on him (personally I think there are other ways to do that and don't really believe this). However I made the mistake of blaming God for the way I was. My prayers were help me help me help me and then curse you all in the same prayer. Like I said I don't know what turned me around - maybe i just matured or maybe I got sick of just being alone. I remember one night when I was on the upward climb I lay in bed praying. When i said Amen I remember thinking in the back of my head "I need a hug." The most amazing feeling came over me. It started at my heart and moved out to my toes and fingers. I swear it lasted for 5 mins though it was probably only a matter of seconds. Anyway it was the happiest I had felt - the happiest I have ever felt (even to this day). I felt all warm and tingly, happy and loved. This is such a poor discription but I believe that I got my hug and that it was from God. Why not try tonight, kneeling down by your bed, turn the lights off and anymusic you may have playing. Just say "Lord I am here, hug me." Don't think about anything else but trying to feel God's presence. Who knows it just may work. I will pray for you, but trust me it gets easier but these things take time, however you need to make the decision to turn your life around. No-one else can.
Just a tip as well. A good healthy diet can help wonders. My friend is a nutritionist and foods like too much bread can actually cause an imbalance which can cause depression. Might be something to look into.
