When life gets you down and everything seems dark it is hard to see any praises. But they are there and it takes some work at times to find them. Once you find one praise, then look for another, and another. Until it becomes a new habit to find praises. It can be as simple as getting out of bed. Putting on your clothes. Meeting a friend. To other things like a food you ate, a person you enjoy being with. It may be hard to find something to praise, but look deeply and you will find one. For example I praise God that I am a part of this forum and so many people are here to show there love and support. What is your praise today?

Every Day Find a Praise
Today I am grateful for my incredible wife. Some how she is holding everything together for our family while I go through this mess. It could have been real easy for her to given up or had me go stay at my moms so her and th he kids didn't have to deal with it. But she has been by my side the whole time reassuring me that no matter where this path takes us it will be us going down that path together. On a lighter note, I am also grateful for Disney movies, they seem to be the only form of entertainment I mildly enjoy during this episode.
Hello, tell your wife thank you for me, it's nice that she is there for you, my husband is here for me too! Thank GOD we have someone that we can depend on we will get better.
Susan, both you and mdowning81 are truly blessed x
Thank you for sharing. I can relate to this. My husband is my staple as when I struggle with depression. And we also had the reverse, I am his staple when he goes thorough depression. Praise God for loving relationships and that marriage is about being there "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish". I love Disney films as well. We just watched Coco, so adorable. Those are great sweet and loving films. Hugs!
Hi Love how are you doing? As for me I started a new meds today and stopped Prozac after taking it for 10 days I just couldn't take the side effects anymore, I started taking Lamotrgine 25 mg and this is supposed to be a low dose but my goodness I felt like running to emergency room, If could afford it I would like to check my self in so they can monitor my meds better, that works for me before, but I just being strong with GOD giving me strength to deal with this , I know his with us and he will get us through this, good to see you on the site. 💛
Thank you for your response. I am glad you are trying a new medicine. I will be praying for the right one for you. I understand about side effects. One medication, made me feel like I was pregnant. I had all the symptoms of feeling pregnant, but praise God it wasn't that while I was struggling with depression - it was just the side effects. New medication takes time and I know God will see you through this. I am praying for you and please let me know how you are doing. Love and Blessings!
