…remain faith-filled and confident that God’s plan was being outworked daily.

A great relief to find a site like this, and people who have shared the struggle of taking anti-depressant medication as Christians. I still struggle with a husband who doesn’t believe in medication, but we have seen some remarkable changes in our once-strained relationship and this is slowly breaking down the preconceived ideas. My difficulty started many years ago, because as a new Christian I had so much hope and joy in being saved, I would tell my doctor – no, I don’t feel depressed, and yet I just couldn’t contain some of the emotional problems that were manifesting. It took six years for us both to finally see past my joy and her to prescribe medication for the chemical imbalance, which was immediately contained. I have since been able to live through (literally – because suicidal thoughts had been common beforehand) some of the most stressful situations in life and remain faith-filled and confident that God’s plan was being outworked daily. It’s been a real testimony to my non-believing friends – some of whom have become saved themselves.
