Depression is something a lot of people have but some just won’t except it. Health issues, family issues, financial issues, employment issues, bulling issues and past issues that we just don’t deal with and we allow it to take us over. I am in that category, My health, brought on financial problems and I have gotten to the place that dealing with all the pressure doesn’t help me or my family. I could scream to the top of my lungs and it wouldn’t help. There are very few people that want to take the time to listen. But if you would stop and take the time to listen it would help those with depression. Sometimes people just need to release and they feel much better. Some do not. I am thankful for those that take the time to care and listen to help me through my depressed state. It is like dominos that you stand up and one is knocked over then they all begin to fall, but if you take one domino out of it’s place they stop falling. Through prayer and understanding will stop the depression and you can start picking up the pieces and start a new. Yes the problems will still be there but you have taken the first step. It is not easy to do, but for yourself it must happen. I can only do what I can, some days it is hard for me to walk across the room, some days I just can’t get out of bed because of the pain I am in. When you have worked all you adult life and can see people and talk to someone, basically have a life and it is taken away because of your health, there is very little you can do. But that’s when you have to take one step at a time as I do. I will not allow myself to lay here and die. I am a fighter and one day it will get better, because I have faith and I believe. Christ said he would not put on us anything that we can not bare. I myself must remember that promise and believe that there is a light at the end of this tunnel I am in. So if you feel you are in a depressed state of mind, talk to some one and start fresh. Do Not Give Up!!!
