Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
There are so many people who did not want their marriage to end, and
later on, felt very grateful for the good things that happened, that would
never have happened if they had stayed in the marriage.
Sending you good thoughts and hoping that good things come your way.
Of course, youve been dealing with this low emotional latitude for a very long time and it is a very special time of great heaviness for you and your family. Sorry for this. I really hope that you will find strong reinforcements to stable you during such times as this. Please develop a sure way to track what triggers you emotionally; this way will help to equal your strength during those particular times where you seek for emotional comfort and mental safety.
You speak of God and prayer. Have you considered rereading the story of Job? Job received sunshine after the rain. And I associate your experience with where Job was at the point of great emotional and spiritual challenges; however, God finally delivered him from sorrow and so can He do this for you, TinMan. Fret during those times of human weakness when you have to, but fear not, as you do believe that God loves you and God is the only powerful way of comfort to you at this time. I am glad that you are not bottling up your feeling too. Job shared his thoughts and feelings with God as well and I really believe that you may find comfort as you read his this bible story. Please read with constant trust in the Lord; for He is the only way to open the way and deliver you from sorrow. I pray with you as well for great and powerful strength to come directly to you and your dear family.
