There were times at my darkest times, I've sometimes entertained some really negative thoughts about life. Battling depression is no fun. Last year was one really tough year. I believe there is a biological element to depression and suicidal thoughts. Some antidepressants *do* make it worse and cause it. I found that out after being put on the wrong prescription.
After one really difficult day, my grandma and i realized the med was making things far worse. We got off that in a hurry. I went for a long time without a med and I felt better. Then depression started creeping in again and I went on another med on a low dose. So far I've been feeling better and more confident. Part of it is also trying new things and getting out of the house more. To combat depression, I find it helps to get active in real life activities. (even if I may not feel like it.)
One song I've found to really help during those rough times is Church of Rhythm - Life Is Worth Fighting For. I highly recommend it for anyone, especially those who find themselves in dark long nights feeling really down and not able to shake those off easily.

Amen saints! Ur right jolly the only true remedy is Jesus Christ! & by reading & studying his word daily it will Also renew our minds!
This thread has also allowed me 2 minister 2 people out there that maybe thinking about suicide! 2 think 2wice about it & instead invite Christ n2 their lives!! Because no one knows what will happen when we meet the maker!! Bs4c:
sorry for your grandmother..it's not easy loosing a child to any way of death..I know...and the only thing that will heal depression is Jesus,,I know this too because He took it away from me
I hope God does. I would have liked to meet my uncle on dad's side. From the sounds of it, he may have been a lot like me, considered very intelligent and maybe a little out there with some of his ideas, but very talented. My grandma's heart is still broken over his loss, even after so many years.
He took his own life at age 18 to "terminal" depression. Nothing could help the pain he felt.
Amen! After the fall of satan came deception n2 the world! But there is life through Christ Jesus! By accepting him! Bs4c
I was just reading in Genesis how we were made in Gods image and how "twisted" it got after the fall. I guess this is just another disgusting deception of the enemy!!!
