Answer 2

Hi,
I think everyone gets depressed at some time or another, sometimes it's hardwired into our brains and sometimes it's because of events that hurt or disappoint us, or both.
I get depressed sometimes when I feel that no matter how well I take care of my ill parents, when something happens, I feel like it is my fault, although I know logically it is not.
But the despair and hopelessness can creep up on me if I'm not careful. How often it happens to me is relegated to how often my parents have the potential to die that day and by the Grace of God, don't.
When I get depressed, I look to all the great things in my life that are usually taken for granted.
I serve a great God who loves me.
I have little doubt how much I am loved by my parents, friends and pets.
God gave me a good brain and I am thankful and use it to help others.
He gave me a body that works well and usually obeys me.
I have a great appreciation for the talents and gifts of others.
I can walk, talk, laugh, see beautiful things, feel the wind on my skin, listen to the birds or the rain.
I volunteer wherever I can and do good things for people in secret. I have found bringing hope to those who are in great despair lifts me up.
Try using your talents to help others with mo expectation of reward.
The reward you receive will be your freedom from depression.
God Bless you

Answer 5

I try and be a very optimistic person and try not to let life and the problems it comes with bring me down. I honestly do try and find something good in the bad things that happen, so to answer your question I rarely suffer from depression at all, but I am human and it arises from time to time.
