This is a common problem you mention wi...Anonymous,<br />This is a common problem you mention with a practical solution through cognitive therapy--a counselor helping you erase the negative thinking (lies) in your head and replace them with positive (truth). Get a good cognitive therapist to help you learn negative-thought-fighting tools. Stick with counseling and read a book like Feeling Good, by David Burns. Depression can be overcome.Michael Camphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829571894675059682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10223554.post-72966512980381978582010-01-02T16:59:25.476-08:002010-01-02T16:59:25.476-08:00I'm trying to overcome depression.

I truly believe that god will help me but I keep getting this voice in my head telling me god won't help you god put you in this. But deep down I know its not true but this voice in my head won't stop I really need help :'(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10223554.post-34120784599427749032008-01-01T12:56:00.000-08:002008-01-01T12:56:00.000-08:00Anonymous, Good comments and advice. I believe you...Anonymous, <BR/>Good comments and advice. I believe you will be able to overcome your depression with the cognitive approach. Books like Burns' in the link really helped me. You can train yourself to replace the negative thinking with positive truth from God. Once you learn it and make it a habit, you can turn to it from time to time like using a tool, when new life circumstances make you susceptible. It really works. Hang in there, you're making great progress.Michael Camphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829571894675059682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10223554.post-73464730578658444862007-12-31T15:47:00.000-08:002007-12-31T15:47:00.000-08:00Thank you for your story. I've been on antidepres...Thank you for your story. I've been on antidepressants for 2 years. Been depressed for decades, but decided to seek help for it in 2006. After dealing with 3 different psychiatrists, and each one giving me a different drug (that made me feel worse), I swore off meds AND PSYCHIATRISTS for the month of December. I asked God what to do and he said to go cold turkey (which is what doctors tell you not to do). Detox hurt horribly, and I kept looking to God to tell me how to ease the pain. He kept telling me to hang in there. I was not happy with that answer, but I did it. And in doing so, realized how much the meds had weakend my willpower. I felt like a whimp. I remember fighting physical pain before the meds (bad flus, migranes, etc.). The meds had really weakend my ability to tolerate pain. I agree with you about not using meds. I'm still depressed, but because of the detox, I became a little stronger physically and mentally. People, try talk therapy before you EVER take medication. Mental health meds without talk therapy is like drinking alcohol to feel better. You'll feel good for a while, but you'll eventually crash. Get the tools to cope with life from talk therapy and ask God to take care of the rest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
