How are you handling Depression?

This is a area a lot of people may not want to cover on. The economy has crumbled within the past two years. People are losing their jobs due to downsizing, losing their homes from failed payments of their high mortgage, losing their investments to the stock market, losing their 401Ks, losing their health care benefits, and are losing their minds cause of grief, loss, regret, and most notably, depression. 

The economy has gotten such a big grip on people today and are affected by it. People are killing their families and themselves due to their losses. People are regretting their choices they make and are dwelling off of it. Past experiences have got a grip on some. Fear has made people not want to go out of the house.

I can talk on this subject cause I've been through it. Depression can be painful. I remember I couldn't eat at times because of depression. I felt like I was going through the motion. And past experiences had a grip on me. I didn't know who I was after awhile. 

But I refused to take any of those anti-depressants, or find my peace through alcohol or drugs. When I was laid off last year in May, I went back to church to give my life back to God. I had so much fear, and pain, and unforgiveness in me that needed to be removed so that I could live more peacefully. And through Faith and Trust in God, he helped remove the depression, stress, and anxiety out of me. That's where I find my peace and my joy. He's my anti-depressant. Better than any medication could do.
