No, millions worldwide suffer from this condition. It can be helpful to find a self help group, where you can meet with others who suffer with this condition. That way you can learn all sorts of coping mechanisms. It is my experience that people meet more when they are feeling o.k. and chat to exchange ideas. People who suffer from depression are often the most jolly people you can find. They are resourceful and witty. I also belong to a writer's group which brings me to the point that creative writing can help you when depressed. I write poems to express all sorts of feelings. Below is a link to some of my sadder ones. If you can get on to paper what you are feeling it can help you to understand what is happening. In the area where you live there will be many people who suffer from depression. If you get into conversation and mention that you sometimes get depression you are likely to have the person say that they do too, or that they know someone close to them who does. It is not a dreadful secret that has to be kept. Anyone who can go through depression and come out the other side will be someone who has learnt about life and can help others. Last week I was swamped with depression, today I am through it and able to help you. Last week I felt I would be stuck in depression forever; this week ,after feeling as if I had been hit by a baseball bat, I am free of depression and positive in my thinking. This will be the same for you.
Poems of Loss
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
