Strange a lot of ordinary people have become depressed since this whole election stuff started and we know the prophecy stuff always heightens at times like this. Could this be what you are feeling? I think I know where you are with that depression stuff, its terrible. I don't have huge words of comfort, I wish I did but when I feel that way I call out loud to God to try and understand why. Can't say I always get an answer but there is a comfort in just being able to call out knowing He is there listening. I also learned that I needed to examine my life in ways perhaps I might have been missing, sometimes its when I have neglected my studies or well something along those lines. Sadly there are no easy answers as to why depression just happens, it would be great if there were. Paws, I'm glad you came here to talk about it and I will keep you in my prayers.

I've just kept on believing that the next day would be better... AS long as you have HOPE, and put your HOPE in the LORD, you will get through it. I would say give the meds time to get into your system, if you haven't already... Just hang on, don't give up... Get out of the house, do something, volunteer your time somewhere... Many places need volunteers and helpers... Talk to someone, PRAY!!!!!! Talk to the LORD! He cares... Many people here care and will talk to you... Get involved with something... don't just sit at home and droop... That's the worst thing you can do... I'm no expert, and I'm not claiming to be, just telling you what helped me.... I'm praying for you.... May GOD take away ALL your depression and give you peace... GOD BLESS!!!! One more thing Paws, start listening to praise music.... I finally had to realize that country music was determental to my mental state... it was making me more depressed...

This matches me and I know how you feel since I've been going through this same junk for a long while. No real life fellowship with brethren anymore for more than 15-30 mins or so on Sunday night. I work 3-11pm during the week so I miss out on the weeknight stuff that the church does. Seems I'm the odd man out. I need that daily fellowship. Isn't that what the early church did? Act 2:46 And continuing steadfastly with one mind day by day in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they shared food in gladness and simplicity of heart, These guys and gals didn't want to be apart from each other. Today yikes like pulling teeth to get any time on Sunday night, the only night off for me outside the service time. Are there any church doors open for us swing-shift and 2nd-3rd shift guys and gals? It seems almost all churches are oriented around 1st shift with weekends off only peeps. I miss my spiritual family. Sorry if in some peeps minds I hijacked the thread but, paws, I think we both are feeling the symptoms of lack of RL fellowship. Loneliness during the week! Do I matter to anyone in the Body during the week? It's not quite self-pity party but that deep-down hunger to be with God's family. BTW the early morning time after shift for me is the hardest spiritually since noone is up and Enemy is attacking the most. I wonder how God had setup the temple/city guards and Levites night schedules in those ancient days long ago? I wonder if it was like the military's schedule for watches after midnight: 2-4 hrs long. Sorry if I spoke too much. Edited November 19, 2008 by Ton80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years I worked 3-11, and that included weekends... I hated having to work on Sunday... Then I went to 7-3 but still weekends... Then a miracle happened, we had a girl come looking for weekend work only... She wanted the A.M. shift, so... I started getting weekends off... That's really when I started to grow spiritually... Praise the LORD, I just prayed and kept working and he worked it out... We all need that spiritual strength that comes from our church families... I really pray that this will work out for both of YOU!!!!!!!! GOD bless!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
