Depression

Do you ever feel like sometimes this world is really hard to live in?

You spend your day running here and running there, to find yourself laying in bed at the end of the day saying, "why?"

Why do things seem so hard? Why do I feel so much pain and sadness? Why doesn't anyone understand? Why am I always tired?

You might say, "I feel like giving up! I want to quit!" Then you cry from the emptiness and hope to fall asleep at a decent hour.

Depression is an ugly entity. It can take over like an enormous, black cloud and literally squash out any feelings of joy. Then, it moves on to it's next victim leaving behind a cold, lonely blanket of emptiness. Next, comes the thoughts, "I am so miserable, I am worthless, I am not good enough, I am unloved.... and on and on... The thoughts continue until you spiral downward and hit bottom. Sometimes you can bring yourself back up for brief moments, but you can still sense the cloud's presence. It wont go away.

Depression can hit at different times throughout our lives. Sometimes we have a trauma or an event that triggers it. Other times it is a battle that continues to pop up throughout various times in life.
I want to tell you that there is hope! Depression is something that happens to you. It is not who you are! There are many ways to get relief from depression. It is possible to get rid of that nasty cloud of black doom.

If you are experiencing this much pain, I encourage you to reach out and ask for help! You do not have to suffer, quietly alone!
Reach out! There is hope!
