Replies to 'Depression'

I'm glad you wrote back and you are still here. Girl don't you know that God makes no freaks or mistakes! We just lose our way sometimes and do not realize He is there for us and How awesome He is and how much we need Him to find US! Now I was the same way so lost trying to find my purpose for being here. I had to start praying to Him to help me learn to know Him and to believe in Him and trust in Him. I had to learn those things because no matter how many times I watched religious shows and prayed for Him to come into my life I couldn't feel His presence. I was still sad and lost. But then I started thinking how many things I was asking for and how many things I was overlooking I had already been blessed with. Imagine God up there watching us being sad and He is thinking all the things He has already blessed us with that we never give him Thank You's for. When we start sitting down and writing down the list of things we had starting with hands, feet,  eyes if we name all the health issues we DON'T have we will have twenty pages right there. No matter what we have wrong with us there are so many more that could be. This is where we fall into this depression I know it was for me because I was not receiving the things on my WANT list. And you know something Mjkkas there are times I have gotten these things and I went on to the next thing on my list and never gave God thanks for the new things I received. Now imagine blessings flowing around us and we so busy feeling sorry for ourselves we can't see the greatness of our day. Depression will do that you can't see it because your serotin level is too low. But go to doctors get help and then work on what is in YOU that need fixing. As you said we can't blame noone but US for OUR problems. We can't expect the world to fix what we need to fix. Many hugs!
