Battling depression

[Chochma Yid]

I'd appreciate your prayers as I battle depression related to exterior events and struggles in my life in addition to weather changes. The joy of Yeshua keeps me from being extremely depressed but I still have days when I can't do anything constructive without a real struggle and/or would like to do an Elijah (crawl in a cave and say L-rd take my life) or Jonah (sit under a tree and say G-d, I'm ready, take my life now).

I am putting more effort into prayer and praise but still the battle seems uphill.

Thanks ya'll!

I will agree with you in your needs as it is still my same need, since my boy died 3 months ago , we are still struggling with depression as well.
Heavenly father give us your Shalom, not as the world gives it, but as you give it.
In Yeshua's name, amein

Aleph
I don't know if I told you but when my sister died in February I was in the bed grieving so hard. The LORD spoke to me and said she is just on vacation. He said she is in the most beautiful place you can imagine and she is having the time of her life on an all expence paid trip. He said she will be right back. Since then the LORD has been telling me the dead in Christ are about to rise. I had a dream where a friend I knew in High School jumped in my face and said Eva look it's me Jackie Lewis. She said the dead are getting ready to rise and they are all excited about it. Then just a couple of weeks ago my husband had a vision of his mother standing and looking at him and he said she knew he could see her and she was just smiling. My friend that I just got to know lately said his father came and covered him up one night. He said he could not tell weather he was awake or asleep. I know we are to test the spirits and we are not to consult the dead but I know in my spirit that the dimension between the kingdom of GOD and the dimension of the body of Christ is about to join. Like Enoch walked with GOD and then he was no more because GOD took him. So much is happening. I know the LORD is coming soon.

Aleph, My heart still grieves with you as well. As you know, I have a grandson almost the same age as Noel was. Anthony will be 21 on March 18. He is probably going into the Navy soon and he is the light of my life. I was there in the delivery room and helped him come into the world. Then as his Dad was in the Coast Guard then and often out to sea, practically raised him as his mother would not stay alone when her husband was gone, but would come home to stay with us. Then after John got out of the Coast Guard, we helped both of them go through college so we were all together a LOT, depending on their schedules each semester. One semester we lived with them Sun night till Fri eve. every week. We also took both kids on all of our summer motor home trips (114,000 miles). I don't know how I could ever live with him gone. It would be only by the grace of God and knowing that Anthony would be with Him. Just know that my heart hurts for you and Gloria and the rest of your family too, and I am praying for all of you.

Grace, I know that you suffer from fibromyalgia too. I was recently put on Neurontin which is now available in a generic. It seems to be helping quite a lot. It is inexpensive and you might want to see about giving it a try. (Neurontin is not the generic name and I don't have the generic name at hand, but a Dr. would know). It seems that more doctors are beginning to pay a little more attention to those of us with fibromyalgia. It's sure a relief. I am so tired of being told that fibromyalgia is a "garbage can diagnosis" when I KNEW how much I hurt! Now it seems that doctors are beginning to listen. My endo even sent me to a rheumatologist and she pressed all the trigger points and announced "You definitely have fibromyalgia". Then she put me on the Neurontin and I do believe it is helping. I hope that you can give it a try. Meanwhile, I will also being praying for peace and strength in all areas for you. Love you Sis.

Thanks jd -- I appreciate the information and the understanding. I think the fibro is underlying everything else working on me and keeping me from getting done what I need to be doing, much less working for Yeshua in these last days. The pressures pushing in on me from various sources are almost more than I can bear at times and that's when I realise that I am out of tears still. I wish I had the money for a doctor period. I've been getting by on using a home guide called Nutritional Healing. Castor Oil is also doing wonders on my swollen leg and sore knee. It is truly a relief to know that fibro is real and that we are being believed. Stress doesn't help it any and that's about where I am-- "How can I reduce this stress?" (symptom answer: more garlic and hawthorn) Maybe if the social security system doesn't fail I can get some medical assistance after age 55-- it would be nice to think I could actually see a doctor. It is a blessing to work in an herb and vitamin shop so I can get the things I need to keep going on discount and even wait for markdown -- 30% off on top of 75% off does indeed help.

Thanks for your prayers. Some days are better than others-- it all depends upon what hits me in the face during the day or when I am relaxed. I wish I could relax. Thanks again for your prayers.

Bro. Aleph, sis Eva, please accept my sympaties; I didn't know that your loved ones had did.
Sis Grace, I most certainly will be praying for the depression that's troubling you. I heard in passing this lunch-time [ I had the t.v on TBN watching a medical program] A Dr. Valerie Saxion was speaking about something natural that helps a great deal with depression.
I'll Google it for you and come back with the info [hope I get it!]
Blessings in Yeshua's mighty healing Name.

Sis. Grace, the above is not Dr. Valerie Saxion's site, but I think thes 2 sites speak about the same thing.

Thank you Cheryl.

Todah Cheryl:

5-htp is one thing I keep on hand and the tryptophan is wonderful. I have been eating a lot of turkey and it does seem to help. I am also taking a fruit supplement to detox and it seems to help as well.


THanks for the info-- I was looking for information supporting regarding the use of the trytophan.


I hope others can use the info as well.

Please put my grandson, Anthony, on your prayer list again. He's been getting into trouble again. He is waiting for the Navy to process him and hopefully award him a scholarship under Navy ROTC. He is supposed to hear something July 22. But he just doesn't deal well with boredom. Please keep him in your prayers.
I have also just had a major depression battle. When we went to Montana (gone 10 days) I discovered that I'd forgotten my meds (though I had my insulin). It took me awhile after we got back home to realize what had happened. Being without the Prozac for 10 days, then it takes several days for it to start working again, well, I kinda crashed. Am back on the upswing now. It was a good lesson that the Prozac is really working.
Grace, while in Montana, my step-son-in-law suggested I try Aloe Vera juice for the Fibro. Several people up there have had quite astounding results from it. You can get it from WalMart in the pharmacy section (no Rx necessary). It's $7.99 per gallon and you take 6 oz every morning. It doesn't taste very good (but not awful either). I use the little single packets of a fruit flavored Crystal Light (no calories) in it and fill it up with water to 12 oz. Mike used Cran-Grape juice with it. It might be worth a try. I don't know how long it takes to work. I've only been on it about a week.
Another prayer request.....I learned last month that I need double knee replacement surgery. I am thinking I will schedule the first (worst) one for the last of Mar or very early April. This is NOT something I want to do! So, between being off my antidepressant; worrying about the grandson; and now struggling with accepting the idea of this surgery, I am almost a basket case!
Please just ask the Lord to keep Anthony out of more trouble and to hold me up.
I love you all, my spiritual family.
