I have to disagree with Adrian when he basically says God in the bible isn't the answer to depression. He said all you need is a friend, what if a depressed person hasn't got one? if you can find a friend then yes certainly, but developing a faith in God in all circumstances is the wisest thing to do.
@takioc I think what is meant - and as someone who's had depression this is how I understand it - is that in that state of mind - a Christian suggesting what appears to be faith in an imaginary friend is not a solid enough, tangible enough solution to what Adrian so eloquently describes as that central wildness and lack of anchors. Depression is an illness which takes ones energy and hope and thus blind faith in God is hard to summon up.
@takioc cont...and so for those reasons - and speaking now as a Christian myself as well as a battler of depression - just show them your faith in God by doing and helping as opposed to merely telling someone you're praying for them, or blandly saying the Bible cures all worries - because in depression the Bible can appear to have many many flaws...
god bless adrian you hit the nail on the head i have felt totaly what you felt at that time 100 per cent brother your a very specail man thankyou for this message set me free.
Being depressed is just an illusion, i've also been there. What pulled me out of the misery was just 'opening my eyes'. I learned the things that they don't show on TV. I now started changingproject(.)com which is a free video information archive. People should ask themself where the depression comes from, it's all about our mind and science already revealed that everything is connected to eachother and that we create reality by thinking,thoughts with powerful emotions become reality.Do research
its truly nice to hear a genuine life experience without the cliche's and the usual vague descriptions of depression (it's like living in a sea of dispair.. blah blah).. but LOL re the comment "christian with no agenda". Does such a beast exist?
whether you find it easy to make friends or not, the best friend you can ever have is Jesus; it is some comfort at least when we feel rejected by our fellow human beings.
Yes I agree about Christ; problem is that alleged Christian friends can reject depressed people (it happened to me) and that's when God feels far away (even if He isn't). Dogma doesn't always help I'm afraid and sometimes non-affiliated friends can assist as they don't possess a judgemental agenda by comparison. They could very well have been sent by God, in any case.
in so many ways, i consider myself successful because i helped others and overcame a lot of difficulties. but i never find it easy to make friends who can help me when i am very down and depressed, not even one friend.
maybe there's something wrong with me, or maybe there's something wrong with the world.
There is nothing wrong with you or anyone.Its the way the devil wants us to feel ,that way he can work better at his purpose.One problem with be linked with many.Like depression will cause people thinking that no one loves them or GOD doesn't love them and then people will draw to become lonely and that can also cause sloth and so and on so pray for GOD to heal & deliver you.
It's not good enough to talk about the Devil when you can't explain God.
But clearly as you understand every strategy of Satan (the god of this world); then you're also privy to the exact tactics of Christ himself. OK. I'd like these questions answered:-
1) Why did I fall ill with depression?
2) When will it end?
3) What's God's purpose in all this?
What's that? You don't know? No I didn't think so either.
BTW Are you a doctor? Because you're giving diagnostic advice.
@JESUSWAYLIFETRUTH god. look its spelt in lower case letters. Will I die a fiery death at the hands of god's wrath? Dont come hear preaching bullshit to people who already have enough questions to answer. If god gave these people depression, well he is a fucken asshole isnt he?
i totally agree with adrian i totally went through this 1 hundred percent bless him set me free a very special man.

God doesn't exist, the devil doesn't exist. Stop finding easy answers for problems you can't solve.

You are so right Adrian - some Christians tragically fail people trying to be so
thoroughly pious and officious throwing the bible at them - Jesus doesn't need
need a middle man - he walks with you - sometimes I wonder if some Christians would
really know Jesus is they fell over him. Thank you for the VISIT

unloved children seek warmth and love in their own genitals. They become addicted and gradually fall into mental illnesses.
Depression and borderline are the most common. Schizophrenia comes later.
mental illness is just a brain tortured by masturbation.
It takes less than 2 months without sex to recover from depression.
It takes 3-6 months to recover from schizophrenia.
medical business makes thousands of billions on promoting masturbation as normal and healthy and builds an army of clients.
