🌙 Depression Reflections

My life has been one rollercoaster of Life. I always wonder why. I reached the point of no longer trusting anyone. But who do I trust now?

I’ve been hurt in many different ways—mentally, emotionally. Thank goodness not physically. But the ache is real. Depression surrounds us with negative voices until we start to believe them. Our self-talk tells us we don’t belong. That it’s our fault. We blame ourselves.

How do I know this? I’ve done it many times.

But once we realize it isn’t our fault, we can start again. We can tell ourselves: We are okay. We matter. We are not alone.

Depression is serious. Especially when suicide feels like the only way out. I’ve been there. I was saved. But it was a long, long road to understand what was going on inside my head and heart. Now I know: I am someone who matters too.

Stress can trigger depression—especially when you’re overdoing the work or the ministry. Burning the candle at both ends. Not making time for yourself. We need to take care of ourselves. Why? Because no one else will.

Giving up isn’t the answer to any of your questions. Praying to Jesus is the only answer. Tell Him all about it.
