So how do I cope with depression? When it's got you in it's grip sometimes you just have to let it wash over you.At that point it is no use anyone telling you to pull yourself together. After all the bit of you that you would use to pull yourself together is the bit that is ill and weak. Later the time to pull yourself together will come, but for now just sit tight.I feel as if I cannot cope with anything, but usually if I have something planned I will somehow manage to keep to that commitment and in such a way that nobody knows how I am struggling. These times are a little triumph to help you through the day.
Mornings are the worst time for me and I just want to stay in bed and let the world go on without me. When I am very low I do take to my bed a lot. I am very fortunate that my bouts of depression only last about one week. Before my medication was sorted in the 80's I would dip in and out of depression all winter. Thank God for pills.
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.
