Depressed

Thanks everyone, I still have a mess on my hands because of what happened today, I’m trying to deal with it but I have difficulties and roadblocks.

Please pray for me, I’m better than I was this morning, but not in an optimal mood.

 

RW, have you thought of asking for the sacrament of the annointing of the sick? As someone with depression, a priest should give it to you and I'm sure it will help renew your body and senses in Christ.

Will keep you in my prayers.

 

I will keep praying.

 

Praying for you.

 

Thanks everyone; unfortunately things are going to take much longer than I thought they would.

Please keep up your prayers.

 

Will do, RW.

 

On it.

 

The Two Hearts will never let you down. We're with you on this!

 

I am praying.

 

Sorry folks, I'm just having a really hard time making any progress.

 

If it's possible to detach / distance yourself from this situation for even half a day, do that. Go for a walk in a park ... watch an inspirational movie ...

Healthy and beneficial distractions are sometimes in order, if it's possible.

More prayers for you.

 

Let go and let God
As Desert Star suggested, go for a walk, detach. Let God work. He works behind the scenes.

 

Thanks, I'll be looking for things to do.

 

I'd like to add that when I was your age (and speaking only for myself; I don't presume this is also you), I'd stew and fret ... stew and fret. Then pray and find some relief ... only to stew and fret again. It was due to hormones + youth. To quite an extent I was DRIVEN to try and figure things out, or make things happen, even when I knew either was out of bounds of Faith. It was a real struggle for years.

With prayer and practice (and frankly also getting older), it abruptly stopped one day.

If that is also you, you're not alone. Been there.

 

Still praying for you RW.

 

Yes...exercise is very important...don’t stay inactive. Occupy your time...start a project, help a friend, visit a shut in, etc....but don’t give into it. Walking is the easiest and praying makes it more valuable!

 

I loved this “. I was born with a smile on my face...at least so my mother told me.”
I bet you had her from day one

 

Years and years and years ago when I was studying Developmental Pschychology they used to place babies into three types

Noisy

Interim

Calm

My older brother Ciaran used scream the house Down.

MY MOTHER couldn't believe it when i was Born. \Mr Smles no problem;

 

In psycholgoy we call this Typology ... in otherwords we place people in boxes which we call

But back to Depression
