christian depression help group

there is no doubt you have helped christian so much. it is very important that he is starting to enjoy his N/A group because he needs a support group of some kind. staying clean is work sometimes, but it sounds like he is starting to take the steps necessary to do this.

Welcome to the forum Derrin, I think you will find some comfort and help here, you are getting help and meds for your symptoms that is good ,they do say that therapy can help as you will get chance to talk it through,some of us are from Miltary backgrounds but our PTSD comes from other trauma we have had and like you are battling through and sometimes winning, there will be others to give you input, let us know how you are getting on,

My question is, I have a best friend who is suffering quite badly at the moment with depression - I try to help her and explain, but she never seems to understand and pushes me away. It almost feels to me as if she doesn't want to get better? I Would like to know, what people from the outside think I should do, and how I should get her to open up to me? would be very helpful.

updated 40 minutes ago WHEATLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Federal authorities had been monitoring members of a Michigan-based Christian militia preparing to fight the Antichrist for some time but were forced to "take them down" over the weekend after learning of an imminent threat against police, the U.S. attorney leading the prosecution said Tuesday.

I tried talking to this one Christian guy online, but he stopped talking to me when I started talking about my depression. I tried Christian Chat. com, but they were so cold and cliqquish. How can I deal with my depression. I feel like life is just so dull and meaningless. I don't feel like doing anything. I spend all my time on the computer. I find life so boring. How can I get over this?

The idea of admitting a lack of control over emotions, having a structure, taking action and working a plan that seems to have worked for a lot of other people, and being around other people who are just trying to help each other seems like a good and helpful idea. Just curious if anyone else out there has participated in EA and if so, what you'd say about it.

Hey you - it ***** doesn't it? The mental and physical exhaustion that just seems like it will never end. Being emotionall wrung out, until you just don't care anymore. The thought that it doesn't end is daunting, and can make you feel worse. But guess what? It does end. And it does it get better. It's not instant, but it DOES happen. Little by little... and sometimes you just need a hand to move in the right direction.

active in the program of OA a year now (after being in a year then relapsing for nearly 18 mos) and working the steps for 8 mos- abstinent for 4 mos. I needed to let my Christian Sponsor go yesterday because she kept bringing up her issues with my spiritual practice and how I relate it to the program. She was not able to see past this and held judgement in her heart. I am chanting daimoku for a new teacher and continued peace. Anyone else have this experience?

Perhaps talking to a counselor does not seem comforting but after a few session and discussing what you have kept bottled up in a safe confidential environment can help you. The feeling of slowly dying sounds like depression kicking in and it seems to be taking away your energy and life. Talk to friends or family who you can trust and consider to be close enough to be comfortable with discussing the assault.

But it sounds like you need someone to talk to...if you are a christian ? Not sure....but if so I would highly reccomend a good wholesome counselor very soon. Someone who can give you advice that works, which in my opinion is the word of god. I'm not forcing anything on you and not interested in a religious debate from anyone who may read this but I know what God can do. And if u ask for prayer you show interes in needing the lord for help.

I was starting to ask questions like, is this the truth on what I am really believing? ( I am raised in a Christian family, but I am not a Christian anymore nor an Atheist, I just want to live life ). As time went by I was educating myself and talking to people with similar stories. It really helped at the time being, but it was just wasn't enough. I also had a really hard time with girls, not in a friends way, but if I really liked someone, I screwed up big time.

Physically I feel fine but I have been beaten brutally by the mental withdwals such as anxiety,being nervous,irritable,and depression!! Some days have been better than others but hey it is so worth it..I can't wait to be normal again! I have been taking xanax for my anxiety which I am prescribed,never had to take it really up until now..How much longer do u think I have until I'm over this mental roller coaster?

I went through a depression myself many years ago now. I ended up going to group therapy where everyone in our group was going through a depression. We gave each other support and encouragement and because we were all going through a depression we could be more supportive to each other. Bewoss's idea to go and see your family doctor is a good one. Supplements like vitamin D and omega 3 can be helpful. Your doctor should do a full assessment of your needs.

I hope so too. This seem like a pretty cool group. Spirituality isnt a topoc people normally feel comfortable talking about to to the different views and possible conflict between. This should be very interesting. I will be back. As with everyone on thos topic. I habe alot of questions and my.own views id like to discus. As i am a navajo pagan.

I haven't been in this user group before, but I'm thoroughly familiar with the subject. I've been deep in anxiety all my life. Major depression, bi-polar, GAD, social phobia, some OCD.

I Like Christian :) My mother wanted to name her son that if she had one but ended up with three girls so she settled for kristie lol

The secular media has come to realise that their accusations will not be challenged since the tenants of the Christian faith are to love our enemies and bless our persecutors .

Whilst you may need to tackle the alcohol issue first it cant help to seek advice on depression in the meantime - and hopefully the advice from each group will feed into one another. As for taking anger out on your husband i would suggest you try writing down how you feel instead.

//www.medhelp.org/forums/Depression/show/57 to speak with others who struggle with it. I wish you love and hope as you work through this. You can get through it and find better days on the other side. Hugs.

ve got older, it has become harder to cope with things and honestly now the anxiety/depression is so strong, I just want to give up. More importantly, my whole attitude with life has dimished to the point where I have no interest in really anything and continue to have thoughts about ending my life. Here's the confusion......

Hi thank you for your suggestion sorry I did not see it before I posted.

Sick twisted group of people to be sure. They have absolutely no business referring to themselves as Christian or any other religion. I love that that motorcycle group comes out and tries to block them with a human barricade at the soldiers funerals and find myself cheering whenever I see them on the news riding in. It's nice to see people not afraid to stand for what's right and try to shut these idiots down.

I do suggest that you go back to your Medical Doctor and have an honest conversation with him/her where you might get a referral to a Mental Health Professional either in a group setting or private setting. I would love to see you in a group setting with men and women of your age and lifestyle who have all come together to bond and recover from the ravages of a life time of depression. Good luck to you and I do hope you have the best life that life has to offer you....
