DEPRESSION

What is depression?

Depression is a constant feeling of sadness and loss of interest, which stops you doing your normal activities. Different types of depression exist, with symptoms ranging from relatively minor to severe.

My opinion...

Depression is a really bad feeling and I know what it feels like as a teenager. It's when you show the world you are living in rainbows and sunshine but really on the inside your are going through a wrecking storm and things are breaking down. Depression is the worst feeling you could ever go through and I hope no one ever goes through that.

People think its only teenagers from the age of 12-18 that undergo through depression but that isn't true! Depression certainly has no age and attacks whenever it wants, though it's mostly teenagers from the age of 12-18 that go through it alot. And why is that?

Well basically as a teenager we want to be living in paradise, have that perfect body and boyfriend. We want to be happy and have what we want but that's not what we always get and maybe that's not what God had planned for us. It could also be hormonal changes, maybe you had a princess or prince childhood but as you are growing things start becoming different and you start to face the reality and harshness of life. For example rejection, ignorance and lack of self esteem. It's all part of growing.

Depression can be very threatening and have hazardous effects on people. Regardless of the other dangers, suicidal thoughts has always been the main danger.

But to the people out there who think of it, why do you kill yourself because of the pain today and leave a whole life and journey ahead? Why should you give up because today doesn't look like what you want it to be? Who says tomorrow wont be a better day? 

What does the bible say about this?

Well the bible doesn't encourage or even allow suicide. Suicide leads you to hell because it's considered as murder in God's eyes.

Psalms 56:22

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.

This verse is simply telling us to leave it all into the hands of God. He is the one that made you, he has a reason as to why he let you come to the world, God is not stupid and he knows why. Dont try stressing yourself or start crying 24/7 because you aren't like them, you are different, special and unique because God made you like that. 

God doesn't want you to suffer. He wants you to trust him wholeheartedly and he shall make a way for you. Dont worry about the problems surrounding you because remember that God is capable of removing them but he is probably preparing you for something better and bigger. 

Who knows what the future holds? 

Life is full of surprises.

Remember cast all your problems and burdens unto him, that's why he sent his son Jesus Christ to die for us at the cross. He took it all and suffered all the pain for us, moreover for free and didnt ask us any price. Not trusting him or doubting him is like ignoring him; just imagine how he feels? It's like when you cook food and nobody wants to eat your food because they all want what they want and dont see all the effort, love and time you put into cooking it, how would you feel?

In the same way let's all trust in Jesus, it's never too late before he comes. Let's cast all our problems unto him and we shall be blessed. Of course it's hard sometimes because you dont see no progress but you should know God is preparing you for something really good, all you need is patience. 

May God bless you all and be with you. And I pray that whatever problem your going through, may God intervene in your matter and solve it. May every situation that looks impossible become possible in Jesus Christ mighty name, Amen!!
