Depression is a hard place to be in, and we've all been there. I'd like to go deeper into the spiritual side of it. If I could sum depression up with one word, it would be "hopelessness". Hopelessness leads to feelings of loneliness and shame. Let's talk...
In my most recent post, I talked about the controversial subject of suicide being the "Top Killer for Lyme". Depression always comes first and I address the spiritual component in this follow up video. Depression is a hard place to be in, and we've all been there.

I suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder, Severe depression and anxiety and Post traumatic stress disorder. I am a Christian, I talk to God all day long, and do my devotions daily. Can you help me?

It's ok to take medication until you have adequate therapy.

I agree with Ursula. I would definitely start with the physical component. We live in this fallen world where our bodies are dying, which means our brains decay as well. Are you a lyme sufferer? I have a big Lyme following as that's what I suffer with. The OCD means (I just learned) that it's very difficult for your brain to shut down activity, so I imagine it's hard for you to sleep as well. I would consider a neurologist and sleep study. I'm not a doctor, I'm just speaking from experience. Sleep is a BIG part of our health. If we aren't sleeping, then we aren't healing. The depression can be caused from lack of sleep as well. Is there something in particular with the PTSD? Please email me if you want to chat more!! altizersarah@gmail.com.

I would recommend to listen to the teachings of Dr Caroline Leaf on YouTube. She carries an important message, and it is her Godgiven purpose to help people like she does. I would try "How to detox your mind 1, 2, 3, and 4" for starters.

Symptoms known as depression are a broken body. Help your body repair itself and get minerals, mineral drops daily. Seeking God puts you on a path to find hope, but keep seeking what is also not working in the body. Keep seeking help from a different kind of dr or practicioner. The lies in your mind of depression can be overcome by physical health and diet and thyroid function as well as God and hope. Hugs

I write in order to give others hope during their trials, tribulations, and physical suffering. Jesus gives me hope and spiritual healing as I walk through the fire. My desire through my writing is that you would also gain hope through Jesus Christ. He died for the world to come to know Him and be saved by believing.
