Dealing With Depression As A Christian

Comment

I started a new horrible, low paying job, part-time and I'm getting more depressed each day and each week. Soon I'll get probable get vertigo (dizziness), deep depression, anger, as I did on my last two job attempts. Psychiatric medicines and talk therapy don't help, but if they did I couldn't afford it, etc. I know what to say to myself (cognitive therapy) and yet my negative thoughts are racing faster than my counter-acting positive ones. I wish I could quit or God would send me money in the mail, so I don't have to work. Every Christian knows he has to work. I don't want to work but "not my will but thine be done".
I wouldn't mind suffering because of Christ, but I'm suffering because I'm me!!

I call it Paul's thorn with all my other disorders! He came for US not the righteous---i have a blog i deal with this on every day.... Living Out loud: little me BIG GOD by Karin Sylvester Soderstrom. Anything that is good that comes from me...is NOT ME... it is GOD! The things He PUTS in my PATH constantly keep me in awe. I am just a common woman with more shortcomings and sin than I thought HE had the Grace for! I WAS WRONG! There is no QUOTA on Grace, just stop putting Him in a box!
I want to write for God!
I live "out loud" on a blog sharing the glory of God in this ordinary woman's life! Yes, I'm just a common everyday woman- BUT I AM ROYALTY, like you, if you choose, a Child of the Living KING. I write because it's fits with all my "thorns," ESPECIALLY THOSE that God has chosen not to remove. I imagine they remain so I can be a testimony to His Glory and despite keeping me more than humble.... it is sometimes quite embarrassing to tell the truth about myself (I will do my best). Sometimes I don't even "see" myself with enough clarity to have anything worthwhile to share... or am just plain wrong. That happens. But when God reveals something to me I feel compelled to share it and love to tell you about His amazing love for us. To me, even the ugly ones, are my miracles, because then there is opportunity to change! I also love to share the bookmarks in my life, as I call them, the touching special moments! Yes, I am just a broken and struggling imperfect human that lives with more blessings, mercy, and grace than I can describe! Please join my walk and tell me about yours....God is very economical...you never know who He might touch with your story!


sometimes when im feeling really low i go to you tube and dance to Kirk Franklin's "stomp" old song but reminds me he's with us all. YES THIS OLD LADY DANCES FOR JESUS! look under added videos...there's even a penguin version if ya need a giggle!

eugenia, what that church said was totally wrong that is not folowing gods ways by turning there back on your family try a different church there is good people out there that will help your family im so sorry that happened to you i will pray for all and may god bless you

That doesn't sound like a church anyone would want to go to. I suggest trying out some of the other churches and also if there is a Salvation Army or other homeless shelters in your area. There has to be someone out there that can help with a meal, dry- clean clothing- help to find a job- etc.

I am so very sorry that someone would tell you such things. What they told you was not right and not of God. There are some good churchs out there that can point you in the right direction.

I wish you the best and hope and pray that you can find peace soon and the help you need to get you back on your feet.

Good afternoon to everyone; I and my family will be homeless on tomorrow 06/10/10 I have tried to get assistance but there is none; We can't return to our jobs because our car died and if anyone knows about Houston,Tx if you have no reliable transportion you will not be able to depend on the Metro Transit.
My son and I share our two bedroom apt and we both are employed in the homehealth business as self employed Nurse/Housekeepers. We were referred
to this church by a friend but when we begin to explain to the pastor and the 1st lady and the other board members we were told that because of the sin that was commited by Noah's son we are cursed by God and that if anyone try to assist
us they to will be cursed; I did have hope but after being told this and facing homeless situation I do not know what to do; the 1st lady explain to us that God
intended for us not to survive Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans that is why he
sent the diasater to rid the world of the rest of Noah's children in this generation
and the generations to come; they were going to assist us but after they arrived
to our apt and met us they said they did not want to be the cause for God to destory them; I ask could they just get us some food they refused and left. Now
I'm more depressed than before I did not know of any generations of Noah that were cursed.
Thanks
Ms Eugenia M Brown

Becasue 'HE' lives I can face tomorrow, because 'HE' lives, alll fear is gone.
Because I know 'HE' holds the future
And 'LIFE' is worth the living just because 'HE LIVES'.
