There are numerous evidence of depression. To some it is like living life in a box that keeps homing in on you; to others it is like you have on sun shades and your world is getting darker and darker; to others it is where daily jobs become simply impossible to perform and you're feeling completely dead.
Many people have faced some type of depression in our lives, but some of us may handle depression on a regular basis. For people that do, the manifestations of depression can be life altering.
At some specific point most of us will either experience the impact of depression, or will have a private relationship with someone that is coping with depression.
Am I Depressed?
Depression often shows itself, even at the beginning, with symptoms and signs that are easy to recognize. If you find yourself in a long-lasting period of sadness and feeling dead, or it gets hard to handle ordinary activities and living life takes on an appearance of darkness, you could have your answer to "Am I Depressed?"
Other signs are: decision-making becomes impossible, difficulty sleeping or oversleeping, sleepiness and lack of motivation, pessimism, being absolutely exhausted, depression sets in, either not eating or overeating, never-ending worrying, and even thoughts of suicide.
If you can answer yes to even a few of these symptoms, the start of a lingering grapple with depression might be well on its way. Not a list to live life by. Look at the definition of depression:
The first definition is a condition of psychological turmoil, typically with a total lack of energy and difficulty in maintaining concentration or interest in life.
The second definition shows an even more dreadful kind of depression: severe low spirits and dejection, accompanied by sensations of apathy and inferiority. Commonly referred to as clinical depression. It can be caused by hormonal imbalance, brain dysfunction, or other conditions. Individuals who are suffering from clinical depression need the help of specially trained doctors and Christian advisors.
Godly Point of View
Do you think God created you? If you answered yes, and you are facing depression, you may question if something must be significantly wrong. First let me emphasise that there are many Christians, folks in the Bible, and non Christians who handle depression; it touches all kinds of life. Constant people are not impervious to depression.
Being depressed doesn't mean God is nutty at you, nor it is due to a absence of faith. It also does not mean that you're not saved, or do not love God, or one thousand other statements folk will make. Please put all of that to rest. There are enough stigmas attached to anyone that has depression already, and they don't need a bigger burden. They want their burden lifted.
Don't Be Surprised
We often think that painful trials, for example being depressed, should not be part of our life. If they are , there must something radically wrong. This verse can be terribly freeing because God is telling us not to be surprised, neither is it peculiar if we are experiencing suffering or agony in our life.
Dear friends, don't be shocked at the distressing trial you are suffering, like something strange were happening to you.
