I struggled with depression for many years…

I struggled with depression for many years as well. I would take medication for awhile until things in my life started to improve and then I would go off the medication. I ended up having to be hospitalized with severe depression and suicidal ideation. I know now that could have been prevented if I had stayed on the medication, or had an adjustment to the medication if needed. I went back on medication recently again due to insomnia. It is helping me to relax and get some rest when I need it. I thank God for the medication. Yes, we are part of the fallen race, and therefore we have to accept physical things happening to our bodies as a result of poor diet, neglect, over working etc. If we were strictly spiritual beings, this would not be an issue, but we’re not just spiritual, we’re physical as well. I thank the Lord for good doctors who tune into the needs of their patients. They are given that talent by the Lord himself.
