DEPRESSION - MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Hello,

Welcome back to my blog! I hope you are enjoying the content that has been published. In this space I want to talk to you about a very common topic in young and old people: Depression. All of us at some point in our lives have felt depressed, sad, underprivileged and with certain questions in our minds that tell us that we are nothing, we are not worth, and we can't find the purpose for which we are alive and many of us even want to kill ourselves.

Depression is a psychological and spiritual illness that causes our mind and our state of health to decline and make us feel weak in all possible aspects of our life, causing our physical, emotional and spiritual state to become weak.

In this content I want to give you a little testimony of my experience with depression. As you already know, our content is not only secular but also spiritual. I believe in God, I believe in his wonders, I believe in the wonderful things that He can do. I have always believed in Him, I grew up in a Christian home, I grew up in an environment of going to church regularly and participating in the activities that the church presented very frequently.

In my teenage years, at the age of 16, I had the opportunity to move to live permanently in the United States. When I got here my whole routine, my whole life changed. For about two years I lived with my dad and his ex-wife, I started a new school. Experienced a new world, a new family, a new school, a new language, new friends, everything was new to me. My adaptation process seemed to be easy but inside, it was very difficult especially because after having lived with my mother all my life, I had to leave her ill, almost to the point of dying to live in the United States (where everyone dreams of going ).

There were a series of events that were happening in my life and I could not find the answers to the "Why" all this was happening to me. I fought for a long time to always be the young woman who smiles at everyone, who is always happy, and who has not been affected by anything in life. My mother passed away August 25, 2013. That was the event that caused the drop in the glass to overflow. I started to behave strange, I felt strange, I began to be affected by everything that was happening around me.

I remember that on one occasion I had to move from one place to another, I did not have as much stability as I wanted, I came to live in several places, until one day I took a knife and tried to cut myself. My feeling of wanting to end my life was so strong that I couldn't resist myself. I thank God that beyond all, there was fear for God within me and the first thing that occurred to me was to ask for help and call someone on the phone to help me get out of that situation that I was going through at that time. After that, I made the decision myself to seek professional help to cope with this situation. I tried with all my strength to improve, but I did not succeed, until I finally understood that I had distanced myself from God, and that I needed to return to Him.

When I realized that, I made the best decision of my life again, everything became clear, I began to understand God's perfect plans for my life. I started to believe in life again, everything began to make sense in my life.

Why am I telling you this? If you are reading this, you might be going through a difficult situation, or you know someone who is doing it, I have a simple recommendation for you:

If you are going through depression: Get help !!!! Do not think that you are alone, there will always be negative thoughts in your mind, LOCK THEM DOWN! Believe in yourself that you are worth a lot, that you are important, that you came to this world with a greater purpose, that you must fight for yourself and for your dreams, that this is not the plan that God has for your life.

The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the thoughts that I have about you, says The Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you the end you hope for."

If you know someone: It is easy to identify a person who is going through depression. This person prefers to be alone at all times, always makes strange comments, at times he/she can be around people but his/her mind is not with him/her. You can help that person, do not miss the warning signs to help them.

When I received Jesus as my savior, and opened the doors of my heart for him to take control of EVERY SINGLE AREA OF MY LIFE, I have lived differently since then. That has been the best decision I have made in my entire life. If you want to accept Jesus as your savior, you can make this prayer that you will see at the end of this post and once you have, leave us a message commenting or sending us an email so that we can follow up on you.

"Lord Jesus, I know that I have sinned and failed you, I have not understood the perfect plans you have for my life. I have walked through life aimlessly, and without someone to direct me. Today I want you to enter my life and take full control of every area in it. Write my name in the book of life, and teach me to be faithful, to honor you and give you all of me. In the name of Jesus, AMEN. "

"I am happy because Christ lives in me."

God bless you,

With love,
