Depression.

Depression is cruel mental illness. It is very difficult to deal with. But you don't have to deal with it alone. I am going to share some tips that have helped me. Remember, I am not a doctor, just a Christ follower who wants to help other.

Here are my tips for fighting depression:

1. Stay Close to God

When you are feeling depression, it's easy to run away and get angry at God. But you don't have to do that! God is here and He is ready to help you. He wants to rap you in His loving arms. Help you fight depression with Him by your side. With God by your side, you CAN do anything! That means you CAN and WILL get better! So don't give up! Keep going! Stay close to God!

2. Get Help

Depression is not a battle you fight on your own. Tell someone you trust and get the help you need. See a therapist and a psychiatrist. Get on some good medicine to help you get better. Talk to the people you love about your battle. Don't do this alone! Get the help you need, I promise you, it will help.

3. DON'T GIVE UP!!

When you are feeling depressed, it's easy to want to give up. BUT DON'T! Tell someone about your suicidal thoughts and keep going! You CAN and WILL get better. I have fought depression and won! You can fight it and win it to! Just keep going. God is with you and He is by your side. He is holding your hand, telling you: "You can do this. Don't give up. I love you my Child. I believe in you. Keep going."

Depression is the hardest battle I have had to fight. But this is a fight you can win! Stay close to God, get help, and don't give up. You can do this! I believe in you. Remember you can always private message me. I love you! ❤️
