I've struggled with depre...Thank you for this!<br /><br />I've struggled with depression, much like you, most of my life. Even as a young child I was terrified of the thoughts entering my mind.<br /><br />You're right sometimes it is easier, but it's still lingering back there and there is always a fear it'll pop back up. For me, it always shows up during pregnancy and right after birth. The happiest time of my life! So why am I swarmed with intrusive thoughts of suicide? That's what people don't get, we KNOW we're supposed to be happy, we just can't.<br /><br />All I can say is, I've been where you are. You are not alone, even down to the cutting. I applaud you for speaking out as a Christian, because you're right, there is a stigma that Jesus will make it better. If he doesn't, you must not be praying enough.<br /><br />I've actually sinced walk away from the church do to the actions of certain Christians. There negatively was going to send me to an early grave. So, I also applaud you for sticking it out among the ignorant. You are the light they need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
