Are You Traveling Life’s Highways Alone?

I have a question for  my fellow depression sufferers:

Is it hard for you to do things  that other people do so easily? (everyday things like work, taking care of kids, commuting, etc.)

Do you ever feel “less than” because you feel like you can’t keep up?

I struggle with this daily….It can be so exhausting….

What exactly?

Everything.

Is Your Significant Other Bringing Misery to the Table?

Who is in your life? Do you have someone that you love?

Does he/she make you happy or are they making you miserable?

You may think that is a silly question, but I assure you it’s not! Often times, I was in relationships where I was always nervous or on edge. I didn’t realize until I got into my current relationship.

My fiance makes me feel so comfortable when I’m with him. I don’t feel like I have to be a certain way or say certain things just to keep his attention or to make him happy. I can just be me.

I thank God for my best friend!

Your Strength Will Amaze You!

Strength for Depression

What do you need strength for right now?
Sometimes I need it just get out of bed; and then more not to have a bad attitude; or just strength to realize how blessed I am!! When I think of how good God has been to me all I can do is praise Him.

I know that some of y’all may not have a personal relationship with God, but just know that He loves you and He wants to give you the life you deserve.

I have good days and bad days. On my bad days, I have to seek God for that “extra”. I’m thankful that most of my days are good now and I know that it’s due to the work God has helped me put in with therapy over the years.  

If it’s hard for you to just “be ok”, it’s alright.
Just remember: You Can Do This!

You have all of the strength you need!

God Made Nature For Your Benefit

I’m not really an “outside” person. I enjoy long days at the computer, reading a book or on my bed writing in a journal. But as I have gotten older (I’m 44), I’ve come to realize that when I spend even just a few minutes outdoors and in the sun, I immediately feel better.

As someone who suffers from depression, I now realize how important it is to get out for at least just a few minutes a day. Everything we need, God has provided in nature. We have gotten so processed as a people, we really need to go back to the basics for what we need.

God made it for you. It works better than any pill ever made by man!
