I Don’t know where to begin venting about depression.

Its lonely, but I do find comfort in scripture

No one understands that it’s not a choice. I’m not “moody.” I’m genuinely heartbroken, feel my chest swelling with anxiety and sadness even when things are fine.

Things are not fine right right now though and that’s what makes it so hard to get out of bed.

But I do get out of bed. My little one needs me. She deserves a safe and clean house, love, a fun and healthy atmosphere, freshly made food, smiles, walks, outings, and more.

The house is never clean enough but it could be worse. I’m trying to be positive. It’s been a very heavy week for me.

God bless you Sweetie. Yes, Depression is horrible and certainly is not being moody (I've been told that too). I applaud you for finding comfort in scriptures. So do I. I'll keep you in my prayers. Blessings.

You are so strong for getting up and taking care of your little one. Some days that's the same reason I get up. It's hard, but love is so strong. Hoping things get lighter for you.

Hi Momma Bear,

I too am going through a lot and feeing down. I've recently gotten back into reading the Bible and a friend of mine recommended I read Matthew 6:33 & 6:34...

If you need to talk, I am here to listen and not judge!

Hi there! So glad you are here and sharing with us. I also agree with reading scripture and praying, especially. Give it to God. He listens and does not want you to be depressed. He came to give us life and give it abundantly! (John 10:10) Another thing that helps me is getting out into the fresh air and taking a walk. Winter is hard for me. I long for Spring and Summer because I always feel better those times of the year. Your little one is blessed to have such a loving momma. Hoping you feel better soon. (((Hugs)))
