Are you depressed? Are you feeling hopeless about your future? Are you suicidal?
Today, we're going to tackle depression. Yes, tackle it! :) If you're depressed, or if you've ever experienced depression, then you'll want to pay close attention.
While all of us get depressed once in a while, an emotional state is characterized as depression when it lasts for two weeks or more.
So, what are some of the signs of depression? Here are a few:
1---Feeling sad continually.
2---Loss of interest in activities that you used to find enjoyable.
3---Insomnia or sleeping too much.
4---Loss of appetite or eating too much.
5---Constant fatigue.
6---Trouble concentrating or focusing.
7---Difficulty making decisions.
8---Feeling worthless.
9---Thoughts of suicide.
10--Feeling hopeless that things will ever change.
If you've experienced any of the above for longer than two weeks straight, you may be suffering from depression.
So, what should you do?
1--Go to God with your depression. Ask for His help. He is your Healer, and He will lead you out of depression.
2--Talk to your parents or a trusted adult about how you feel. Sharing your feelings with someone who loves you will go far in helping you to overcome depression.
3---Analyze your thoughts. Yes, depression is largely rooted in wrong thinking. If you are believing a lie, that lie could make you depressed. So, identify any lies you are believing and then renounce them and replace them with the truth.
4--Discover truth in God's Word. God's Word is Truth. It alone will help you recognize a lie. Any belief that does not agree with what God says about you in His Word is a lie. As you study God's Word, truth will replace the lie. And it is the truth that will set you free from depression (John 8: 32).
5--Praise God continually. The Bible tells us that praising God drives out depression (Isaiah 61: 3). So begin praising God with all of your heart, soul, strength, and mind.
When Jesus died on the Cross and rose from the dead, He defeated depression. Receive Him into your life today and He will give you His joy. Then watch depression leave your life!
