depression

[Junket]

One thing causes depression...and that's Satan. Satan wants to keep you from accomplishing what you need to accomplish, so he causes illness and puts fear and worry into your head. He causes you to become selfish, which causes you to not care about others.

If you have God in your life, though, you can get through this. If you ask God to help you, and you're sincere about it, he will help you get over your depression.

Sometimes, depression might cause you to have to take medication. But if you have God in your life, you really shouldn't have to, as long as you believe.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Aw man...

That was good.

I haven't had a good laugh like that in a while.

Sounds like Satan has a better plan then god and is winning LOL. Hillarious post.

OV to be fair, in your own opinion your own 'depression' seems quite genuine and 'real' (maybe in your eyes more 'real' than anyone else's); but from an outside perspective, based on your previous posts, anyone here could just as easily say that we think your 'depression' is also self-manifested. All I'm saying is don't be so quick to judge....everyone's situation is unique.

uhhh. What does someone elses view on my depression matter to me?. Offcourse my depression is self-manifested...the better question is ..What isnt? lol

[boobaa]

There is no God, there is only Satan! Hahahahaha! And he rules the world!

Actually, christians made Satan evil. As for the christians themselves.

Hm, OV I can never tell if you're attempting humor or just being a dick.

I will take the optimist's side and assume you are attempting humor.

I was being serious a bit. Everything to you think and everyway you feel is done by you...though I "DO" not want to change my depression because in my mind it is supprorted with good enough reasons. I will continue to be depressed untill reasons will come that change that. I know everyones situation is unique. I just fail to see you point in that statment that its not.

Hey, whatever works right.

Well Ive been depressed since I was about 12 or 13. At first it got blamed on hormones, then I thought I had issues with my sexuality, but once they were resolved I was still depressed. My doctor diagnosed me with clinical depression and anxiety about two years. It was fairly mild for years before I actually forced myself to go see a GP, but got worse after that, maybe that was the situational influence, and my reaction to having to accept that there was something wrong. I've tried counselling which didnt work because it's clinical, and have been on and off AD's like a yo yo since I got diagnosed.

For me anyway I never "enjoyed" my depression; somebody mentioned the power it gave you over other people, and I know some people sort of enjoy being miserable, or if youre younger, you might see your place in the family as the Problem Child, so if those problems go away, where are you left? With me, it was never like that, I did everything I could to avoid other people finding out for years. It was never attention seeking in any way shape or form.

I thought I had something there. Oh well, I guess I made it sound a little cheesy...

[ALovelyLady86]

cu tigers i agree...
If people dont believe in spiritual warfare they need to open their eyes... its everywhere.

Sorry, Tiger - I meant no disrespect to your religious beliefs, but some of us look at "the devil made me do it" thinking and belief in Satan as a way to deflect personal responsibility for one's actions. The part about being offended is that you seem to have assumed that we all believe as you do, but clearly, we don't. If your belief system brings you comfort, that is good, but we simply don't all agree on the existence of Satan, no offense intended.

It depends on how you use it... if, like shh said, you use it as a crutch or a scapegoat then yeah it's very wrong. Satan may tempt us, but we always make the choice to give into the temptation.
