Food for thought

Today I am speaking out about depression, because this is something that literally causes your body physical, mental and emotional pain. It HURTS. Survivors of this horrible illness know hard each day can be. Bipolar Disorder, MDD (Maniac Depressive Disorder) and other illnesses are very real illnesses which cause symptoms that can be debilitating if you don't find the proper help for it. For those of you who are suffering with this, please know you aren't alone. You can FIGHT. :) And you can WIN. You are more than what you feel.

Often certain medications can make people feel undervalued, or experience painful symptoms worse from when they actually received the diagnosis. Though many medications have powerful affects, it's important to know which works best, and is right, for your body. Many natural therapy based aids can help so wonderfully. It does take a bit of research, but once you find out about the sources and resources you have, what are you waiting for?

DEPRESSION SUCKS. Okay. I'm not going to be one of those rosy posy, sugar coaters. I'm going to give you the blunt hard truth. IT'S HARD. But you can handle it. You have much more capabilities and strengths than you probably know.

Of course we all have moments of sadness and occasional grief...hurt is a part of life. A loved one dies, a divorce happens, someone gets hurt, goals and dreams are lost. These can cause incredible real pain too. But normally, after a period of grief, you can usually find ways to heal emotionally. That is what is incredible about our bodies...but with depression your brain chemistry doesn't allow you to feel healing. Your body chemistry doesn't allow you to feel normal.

That's why taking a stand to supoprt someone with this terrible awful delimma is something great you could do for them. Trust me, they will really appreciate it.

We need a world more full of random visits, phone calls, notes and letters, and genuine caring for another individual. Because when it's all said and done, that is a celestial life. God expects us to LIVE his higher laws. :) And when we do, we become who we need to be one good deed at a time. Let God work miracles in your life. Allow him to change you. Let Him comfort you, and heal your pains. I know for a fact that a loving God is waiting, and wanting to bless His children that ask for it. Pray!
Pray like you mean it and God will continue to supplement your life in ways you thought were not possible.

Keep on keepin on folks, life is a great ride and we need to enjoy every moment.

Have a great day, reach out to someone, and press on!!

Love,
