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.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
