Is there anyone in your church or spiritual community you can speak to for guidance and prayer support? Most churces and organisations have some kind of pastoral care.
Or go to see your doctor, maybe he or she will refer you to someone. Personally, I'm anti drug therapy but acknowledge it has it's uses in cases of clinical depression. You've asked for support on this forum, now take it up a notch and ask for help from your family and friends. Good for you for asking by the way and no it's not a sin to want to feel better.
If you want tools and suggestions for tackling this problem alone and right now, I'd say identify what's in your environment supports you feeling down and change it.
Several years ago, I went through a rough patch myself for a few weeks and broke it by spending a whole day cleaning my apartment. The general mess and disarray was depressing in and of itself and I felt much better when it was all done. I confess the sheer size of the job overwhelmed me so I put on a cd and challenged myslef with how much I could get done in the length of each song. LOL! Crazy I know but it got me moving when I felt well and truly stuck. 8 cds later, bar the laundry my apartment was spotless.
If you're home environment is not a contributing factor, assuming you don't live where it's 100 in the shade get out of the house and into the fresh air and just go for a walk.
Just deciding to feel better, then doing things that make you feel good sounds so simplisitic but it's an amazing tool for feeling better each day. Shower with your favourite soap. Put fresh fruit in your cereal, wear your favourite top. In addition to eating right and drinking water, also watch your emotional, intellectual and spritual diet.
If you're into the metaphysical and spiritual at all,check out www.hayhouseradio.com.
Be well and be awesome.

Amy E. If you think you need help you most likely do.
Take the first step and find a therapist. DO NOT set yourself up for disappointment by having HIGH expectations. Interview the therapist try them for a while and see if there helping. It is also helpful to write a list of your concerns.
Wanting to take a substance to make you feel better is very often a sign that something isn't quite right but taking something will not help it only provides a detour of what is really troubling you.
Take the time to invest in yourself and get to the bottom on what is ailing you. You can do it many many many people have even when they thought they couldn't.
Start calling today....your insurance co. if you don't have insurance inquire about free agencies around your area most all major cities have such groups.
I have as much faith in you as God does who gave you the free will to do what you need or choose. Your askng God for something he/she already gave the you power to do. God is beyond our human minds to comprehend but his/her gift of
free will and life is munificent.
Be your own best friend and begin taking care of yourself now.
Thanks,

I have been the same way since I went through a divorce in2004. I'm still having some problems. Prayer definitley helps, but with me it's depression. i can't afford to go back to the doctor or I would get medicine for it. They had me on Alpralzolam/Lexapro/viseril. Now I'm trying to wing myself from the lexapro. When they gave me medicine it took about a month before, it noticed a difference. I woke up thinking, I could handle whatever the day would bring. Believe me, god does not want you to suffer like this. it's a medical problem, not spiritual. I still have days like your having, but there not as frequent. I'm kind of scared what will happen now that I'm only taking my Lexapro 1x every 3 days. Nothing else. I know that it's chemical and that's what worries me. I still have bouts of uncontrollable crying, but I'm trying to bring myself out of it. It is a daily battle. I will pray that you find some relief and happiness. God doesn't want us to be sad. O.K.
God Bless You.

you certainly need God but you also need a doctor.
go have a check up. many times for our negative feelings hormones, and lack of certain vitamins are responsible.
if you want yourself back a doctor can help you.
do not give in to sleep. sleeping more than 8 hours needed doesn't help you it only makes you feel more tired and the more you sleep the more you are going to want to sleep.
sleep is addictive and you need it to make you forget how sad you feel.
but you will feel sadder every time you wake up...
try to get a new hobby or write down in a calendar all the stuff you have to do to fill in your day and always keep up.
try to look positive when outside playing a role can sometimes help as we actually adjust to the role we are playing gradually.
also try to relax and think if something is really bothering you and making you sad.
something that may not seem important with a first look but could be the source of your problem.
also exercise, it may look like a chore but it will give energy to your body.
and do not forget the check-up!

God doesn't think it a sin to ask for help. He doesn't want us to be miserable and unhappy.
somehow, you have to find what works for and helps you to feel and do better. make a start by going to a doctor and finding out what he may suggest.
keep up the prayers and have the faith that it will get better.
i have you in my prayers every day!
nobody has the real answer, unfortunately...but, keep on and you'll find what can help you outta the "funk."

You already have the correct answer. We live in a world filled with stress and so many situations we cannot control. If you need medicine to help you along...by all means go to the Dr and take something that may provide you some relief. God would not have given man the knowledge of certain things if He wanted this withheld.

It could be a number of things that brought you to a low point in life. Zero in on the "real" source if you can't - pray, but by all means get help, but the root cause must be brought to the surface. Seek professional help God understands your not committing a sin - He places gifts in many areas of people lives who are willing to help those who are in need. Doctors, Lawyers, etc.......get the help you need and get on with life.

Hi hun,
You are in my prayers. No it is not a sin. Sometimes God works through her people. You should see a doctor so that they can accurately diagnose what is going on with you. Pray for strength. Remember that God will not put more on you than you can bear.

I will definitely pray for you sweetheart! Hey its ok to feel low sometimes in life! Thats when we can appreciate the good times! Imagine a life with all highs and no lows, the highs won't be so special anymore! So accept your life the way it is, with both highs and lows. On another note, you might wanna check with a doc to see you are not sick or something! Take care of yourself! God Bless You!! =)

No, I don't think there's anything wrong with asking God for help with these feelings. Ask him to lead you to the right Doctor who can help you and to give you strength and courage to handle these feelings. He will answer you. Pray with faith and keep praying and you will be led in the right direction. I hope and pray that you will be feeling better soon and will find the help you need.
