"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 16:11
"God comes to our lonely, anxious hearts and whispers our name. God says "I see both the fear you have of closeness and the deep longing you have to belong. I have come to comfort you and to respond to your need. I have been seeking a relationship with you. You belong. You belong to me. You are my child."

WHAT IS IT?

I have been struggling for the longest time trying to put my finger on what constantly makes me so very depressed, sad and unhappy with my life. I live with such a heaviness most of the time. Sleeping, that is if I am not disturbed by the enemy, is where I find peace most.

Yes, I can say my past has a lot to do with my depression. But that is just too general. Many things have been faced and healed. Many things also have not. Nevertheless the sadness is becoming more apparent these days. Maybe I am getting closer to the truth. I do not know?

These last few days with the uncertainty of my department's move, my feelings of loneliness, my desire to constantly be in the Lord presence under His anointing and my endless battle to gain self-worth and my skewed perception and comparing mindset probably have a lot to do with what is going on with me at present.

JBR,
Stress and lack of sleep may be adding to the problem. They tend to make everything worse! Keep your chin up, my friend! A lot of people are praying for you!

I'm sorry you're feeling so badly. It sounds like right now you're going through a lot of transitions, and those can be stressful, and stress DEFINITELY can affect depression and mood. Uncertainty is also really difficult to deal with. Hang on, JBR. I know you have the resources and strength to get through this rough patch.

Wishing you well,
NOS

JBR you are under a lot of stress right now. That can effect the mood. Depression is usually caused by a chemical unbalance in the brain. Wishing you well.
