@ktaisia I wish I was special enough to have jesus instantly respond to me whenever I feel depress-- wait-- I mean all the time.

I also wish my conscience was simple enough to accept religion as my end-all crutch for problems that are in actuality of my own creation (whether that be lack of sleep, unhealthy eating, drug and alcohol abuse, etc that contributes to depression/bipolar disorder). Meh, guess moral inculpability isn't the right thing for everyone.

@ktaisia That is VERY RARE

Everything that is so meaningful, beautiful and important to you no longer feel that way while depressed. The things that get you out of bed in the morning... go.

depression is one of the worst afflictions in the world...I mean, I want to be dead everyday of my life, never to come back and i pray to god that there is no such thing as reincarnation...

depression is also for me and for a lot of people physically painful...i have this problem along with anxiety, i tense up so much from anxiety, then after so many days it takes a toll and my muscles ache horribly causing me to feel incapable of enjoying anything, its a vicious cycle, once my mucles get better its right back to feeling anxious again...then hurting...then depressed...if depression were a color it definately would be gray. i think anxiety is red like an alarm light

Be careful and aware of possible intensification of suicidal ideation during 'weaning on' and 'weaning off' of antidepressants.

I am a carefree guy, I never let anything get me down. I do have anger and show it when there is cause, but I do not hold on to things that put me down. So depression is never near me. HOWEVER one day I was working and suddenly I felt depressed, it was as if everything that was going on around me had something bad against me, the sky being gray etc.. and all those feelings. I then realised that it was the attack of the devil on my life. I prayed and asked Jesus to take it away He did instantly..
