It sounds like you are a believer and I'll tell you, my faith in God is the only way I have made it through and am finally having victory over depression these past 2-3 years! It's a constant battle but I'm fighting it more directly and God is delivering me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634273836008986752.post-33527677999061262352010-04-05T11:06:20.729-04:002010-04-05T11:06:20.729-04:00Melinda, your post was so helpful to me.

So many times I've found myself saying "just get up and do something other than laying around", but your post made me see that is not the answer. Patience and love for those going through this is. I'll try to keep that in mind.

Every decision was a struggle or total apathy. I wanted to sleep all day and couldn't at night. I felt I couldn't tell anyone.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359112101080761991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634273836008986752.post-25435927885788647072010-04-04T19:43:05.227-04:002010-04-04T19:43:05.227-04:00Thanks to you both for your comments.

Melissa, I'm glad you are feeling better. And Sharon, thank God His joys are new every morning - I'm clinging to that tonight.~Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932486174263212809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634273836008986752.post-5888732226247183022010-04-04T19:27:00.410-04:002010-04-04T19:27:00.410-04:00Melinda - our Pastor gave an incredible sermon tod...Melinda - our Pastor gave an incredible sermon today on Joy.
