You will struggle with that flesh as i do, until you are issued an incorruptable body when the Savior returns. I have read your struggle, you may read mine, as we share with each other we learn and are strengthened. Flesh vs. Spirit. That is our battle. Fight the good fight, don't expect to always win, but the battle is the Lord's. It takes a lifetime to learn to give it to Him.

I was reading this entry and felt so much the same that on the one hand it hurt to think someone else who really means so much to so many people feels so similar and on the other hand its nice to think of how someone we all think so well of feels the same way as me and understands. Especially someone who is so intelligent and loving. Your truly an amazing person and so well loved that I know that I personally would hate for anything but wonderful things happen to someone who deserves them as much as you. It really struck me when you said you feel that by not growing in your faith meant you were going backwards. I also feel that way constantly. I think what you said about it being hard to believe that God and Jesus having all your damage covered is so true. I hear it all the time and yet I still have doubt, which then carries through in my most depressed times. I just really want you to know how much you mean to me and I really wish I had something that I could say to encourage you. Alls I can say is that I dont look at you and think your damaged, but I also believe you and dont blame you when you feel like life is hell. I dont know your story of how things got this way but I am going to pray that something just happens that you can feel happy and not be afraid of it being snatched from you. I think its the fall from that happy place that scares me the most. Tons of people are going to say insensitive things but I have never been around you when you have even once said anything to make me feel more depressed, suicidal, or panicked. and off the top of my head i cant think of anyone else. So like i said i know this is really long and rambling and I am not sure you wanted me to see this and i am incredibly unsure of if you want me to comment but I just really wanted to help in some way. You truly are amazing and I really do love and look up to you. Hey,

That's an excellent question. I ask myself that same question all the time. I suffer from depression too - dysthymia to be exact. Someone once described depression to me as "modern day leprosy". So, from one "leper" to another, if you're looking for a safe, confidential, FREE place to get help, I highly recommend attending a Celebrate Recovery group in your area: http://www.celebraterecovery.com/. My depression is still very severe, but attending this group at least gives me a safe place where I can be my depressed self and not feel judged. If you've never attended a support group before, I'll give you fair warning that you'll probably think it's really weird and it's not for you, but if you don't know what else to do, this might not be a bad place to start. By the way, I appreciate your raw honesty. It's refreshing. Hurting people are probably the most honest people out there. Thank you. “What do I do Now?” That’s an excellent question.

I too am dysthymic, I go around wondering 'what do other people think about? because it certainly isn't this constant grasping out of desperation.' I'm not sure if its exactly like yours, but I imagine it isn't all to different. You’re certainly not the only one that has a way of thought singular to yourself.

Using every ounce of strength you have to go out and try to have a good time with your friends and then crash horribly once you get home. It's nearly impossible to imagine ever feeling anything else when you're living under a cloud. K is right though, you are not alone. Have you considered looking for a free therapy centre in your area? Most places do have them and counselling can be a fantastic way to deal with the depression itself and get you to the place were you can ask for medical help yourself.
