I always thought that having depression is a choice we make just like happiness until i found myself in the very same situation. I kept on pushing the idea off my mind and tried to live my life in a normal way possible. Living in denial made me do poor decisions. Running to things that are superficial made it worse. Cried myself to sleep, pushed everyone who cares away because even i cant accept the fact that i failed myself.
I knew that this is just a phase of my life that i will get through. But i never thought that i will move on this fast. From the fiery pit back to His glorious arms in a short span of time because why keep negativity for so long? God is faithful to us, we just have to believe and welcome Him in every situation. Day by day, He heals me. He fills the hole in my heart that was missing for a long time.
As what the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 11:29-30, “Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
So my point is, we all go through tough times but never feed your thoughts with lies, identify the problem, confess your sin to God, immerse yourself with the truth that comes from God by reading the Bible, share it to a friend/s or family member/s that is matured in Christ—be careful on whom you ask for advice. And most especially, take in mind that we have a Saviour, Healer, Provider, Friend that is in Christ Jesus. ❤️
PS. Be kind to one another, we don’t know what they’re going through.
