When you feel like you don't have the energy to fight for happiness anymore... when you "pray" for clariity or an end, but lack the courage of your convictions???...you just don't see how you can go on the way you are?

Oh, and you are a certified peer counselor and are fairly intellagent, and you know you are suffering from stress and depression, but still, you are glad you don't have a mass quantity of pills, or a loaded shot gun?

You just keep on going and realize that it's not your choice. When it's your time, it's your time and not before that. Remember that "this too will pass". If you are able to see what is going on then you are a step ahead of a lot of people. It takes a lot of courage to admit that things are going wrong. I admire that in people instead of just sitting down and giving up. You just have to reach way deep down inside and find that courage....you have it, you know you do!!! And who says you have to fight for happiness? If your current situation isn't bringing you happiness then you have to go out and find something that does. You have a lot of life ahead of you and you don't know what great plans God has in store for you. You can't miss out on that!!!! :) And remember, just because you pray for something doesn't mean you'll get it. It's God's will, not ours. He treats us just like our parents did. A good parent doesn't give us everything we want, but everything we need. God is the same way. Just because we want it doesn't mean that we need it. Have you asked Him to reveal to you what it is He is trying to teach you right now? I hope you find some answers and start to feel better soon. But remember, it's OK of we don't feel perfect all the time. Good luck and have a wonderful Blessed day! And if you need to talk to someone (me) who has suffered with severe, sometimes crippling, depression, don't hesitate to e-mail me.

Most important thing to do is to tell someone (responsible) how you are thinking and what your feeling. Depression doesn't care what you do for a living. I didn't call or talk to anyone about how I was thinking (the same way as you) and almost wasn't here anymore. Get help. Your thinking is distorted right now, so tell someone, so you can get the help you need

See this page under mental issues to see part of it not being your fault but society's for not telling people diet can make a big difference with MD info. Plus has a great inspirational story. Then when you are doing great, don't keep it a secret. Let others know about it. That's fair.

i don't know.
what got me out of depression was that i just got sick of it one day. i was walking and all of a sudden i felt funny. i couldn't figure out what i was feeling and then i finally realized that i was feeling happy and i had forgotten what that felt like, i decided i wanted to be happy, and i just am. it doesn't matter what else is going on. you can just choose to be happy, it doesn't have to depend on any outside sources.

focus on one good thing in your life.
and keep praying I have been praying for something for a long time,
But whatever we ask of god will come in his time not ours.
Stay strong, though only you can make yourself happy.
Love yourself and all esle will follow
