Defeat

[graciouslytaken]

Depression defeated me today.

Why do I feel so empty, unhappy, hopeless, lost.

I am sorry you feel this way. What is the profile picture? Is it from your garden?

[graciouslytaken in reply to DreamerAdam]

Its actually my headshot in front of my patio, but with the way the picture settings are, all you see is the background 😑

[DreamerAdam in reply to graciouslytaken]

I know...the picture settings can improve. But looks like you have a beautiful patio. A 🍀 from me for your patio

Well, tell us why.

Helpless to wards what? You seem to have access to electricity, internet, pc and can type. So you don't seem to be a full quadriplegic.

What makes you happy? Why are you not doing that?

What makes you unhappy? What makes you repeat doing unhappy things?

Have you tried filling your emptiness with any goals or achievements? What is your current focus in life?

Hello graciouslytaken ,

I am sorry that you are having such a difficult time this week with emptiness, unhappiness, and hopelessness. Depression is such a hard thing with which to live. I have been dealing with depression for several years now, and was where you are right now in January 2015. In fact, I would be dead right now if it wasn't for my wife. She convinced me to rely completely on Christ. In doing this, I began reading and meditating on the Bible, praying, and going to church to worship and fellowship with others.

Since committing my life to Christ and doing these things, I now have peace and hope, something that I had not had in a long time. Please know that I am praying that you will have this same peace and hope.

Kevin
