I should be happy...

I have everything anyone would need to be happy in their life yet I'm depressed. I struggle to get out of bed each day. I feel like a loser for not having any motivation to care anymore. I have tried accepting myself for where I am on my mental health journey. I know I'm not the only one feeling the way I do.

hi welcome aboard you need a purpose a reason to get motivated in the morning find new goals for yourself even small ones to start off with.

I can totally emmpathize with you! Have you tried many medications? Sometimes its a matter of which one benefits you. There are a lot of them and it can be tedious finding what works for you. It's well worth it though.

You are definitly not the only one that feels like that. Acceptance is a good thing. Try taking one day at a time.

awakeningtogod.org/ministri... and read this site. I turned my life around by surrendering myself to God in the belief that we are here but a short time, as this is not our home, it's merely a dress rehearsal for obtaining ever lasting life with God in heaven.

I am fully convinced I have been healed by the power, and unending goodness of our Lord.

You have everything to gain and nothing to lose, give it your bet effort..

Read Matthew Kelly: Dynamic Catholic and Rick Warren: The Purpose Driven Life.

It will utterly change your life and bring you closer to God our creator and savior.

You have everything to gain, it’s a win-win proposition…

If you have FIOS, watch Channels 548, 296 or 285 and load down the CBN Family app.

Depression is an illness of the brain. Chemicals in our. Rain get depleted in depression and it takes time to build them back. Antidepressants help, therapy and acceptance that we can’ force ourselves to get out of our depressions any sooner. We didn’t cause this disease, can’t control it and can’t fix it. Getting out of bed and washing your face is a start. Give yourself credit for what you do and start one step at a time. Get a good therapist if you don’t have one. Praying for you. regalpurple?
