I know exactly how you feel. I have struggled with depression for 6 years now. It all started after the death of my grandpa in 2004 however i was struggling a little before. I went through self-harm and eventually had to go through counseling. I had to be placed on medications. This might be a good way for you to go. If you have long periods of happiness and then long periods of sadness this is a symptom of bipolar disorder. You need to get medical help as well as spiritual help.

Just wanted to post to see what your opinions are on this or if you have any suggestions for me.

I have been a Christian for 3 years now and was baptised last year and I trust and love Jesus with all my heart.

The problem is over the past 2 years I have suffered with depression really badly, I think it started when my uncle Died xmas eve 2004 and this is when things seemed to get really bad.

I weant through self harm and really hurting myself and this got really serious but through the love of Christ Jesus I was able to stop myself and have been free of self harm for the past 6 months but the depression hasn't got any better.

I love Jesus and I pray and believe I can be healed but as of yet I have not fully been healed. I pray that it will come in due course but hope can fade sometimes.

I am most of the time a happy person but from time to time for no apparent reason I get really really depressed and hate myself and just hate my life.

In these times I try and think about God and how much he loves me but I can't. Doctors say the unexpected swings of depression that I expireance for no apparent reason is caused by chemical inbalances in my brain, I don't know why they are caused but I just want them to go.

I didn't post this for sympathy I just didn't want to keep it to myself anymore I find it hard to talk to people in real life.

I feel so alone and bad. I feel bad 'coz am a Christian and I feel like its not right that I go through depression and being a Teen I feel like all adults especially Christian ones look down on me I just feel so alone inside.

Just wanted to share

God Bless

The bible sais their is a time to live and a time to die aswell as a time to cry and be happy. The devil wants you to feel alone and depressed he wants you walking in his army with a blind fold on, Do you realize you have amazing weapons God has givin you to fight against these feelings/the devil..

Prayer,The Bible and Worship(The strongest form of worship isn't singing either it's obedience.) I used to get these types of feelings all the time and sometimes i feel them try and get back in my head when I'm at highschool when someone makes fun or treats me like a wrag doll..

It's hard but I pray and keep obedient (atleast I try my best to be obedient) and I read my bible everyday which has made it much easier to withstand all these reasons to be depressed.

(VISUAL!! :3 When you got Jesus and choas starts to happen it's to be suspected butttt because you got Jesus all the choas and exploding buildings and warfare will be going on around you and the dust and dirt will fly around you and maybe hit you a bit sometimes but when it has all settled down on the ground and the war is over.. PRAISE GOD YOU WILL BE STANDING TALL AND VICTORIOUS!!!! AMEN!! HALAJESUHA Lol

TIPS: 1:Try surrounding yourself with a good positive christian, someone to talk to and pray with (like a prayer partner)
2: When ever you get scared or worried about anything, freeze and pray in Jesus name for whatever it might be.
3:Recieght scripture in your head that can encourage you or strengthen you this is also great tool in spiritual warfar. Hope my comments and "blabbing" hath incouraged thy fellow friendddd
