Ive long suffered from depression and over the past few months, mentally, Ive been doing VERY well. This past weekend, although I masked it really well, I had a relapse. The thing with depression is, its a mental defect! Has nothing to do with Satan, has nothing to do with just being sad and bitter or whatever other adjective people label it when they are uneducated on the matter. The common misconception tho is that people who are depressed dont pray or arent praying enough. That is completely false. I love the Lord, lets get that clear now. I talk to Him on a daily basis. He is evident in every aspect of my being!!!! Please dont make the premature notion that because I have relapased, because I am sad, because I feel hopeless, etc, that I am not praying or deep in prayer or have others praying for me!!!! Although very different, you wouldnt tell someone who said my cancer came back that they needed to stay embedded in prayer because if they are believers, that goes without saying that they are heavily in prayer. All I ask is that youre very careful and sensitive when talking to someone who suffers from depression. It would be better to say YOULL keep them in YOUR prayers than to assume they have lost God and arent praying enough. P.S. This isnt directed to anyone in particular because I see it ALL too often when anyone I know who suffers from the same disorder expresses they are going thru an episode. Okay? Thanks. God bless. Namaste.
