Depression, at one time or another; one goes through it. It might only be a day or a week but people get depressed.

I have been depressed and got over it in a day, a week and even a month. But in 2004 I got in trouble

You see, I went for over a month thinking I could handle it. I did not want to think otherwise, it’s just depression.

A month turned into two and so on. I even went to the doctor who put me on Zoloft but that didn’t help

I had gotten to the point, I had become cold to everyone including my family. Preaching was no fun, no sense of leading at all

I slept all the time and did not care if I lived or died. I felt my family would be better off, if I was dead. This went one for about a year. I made my families lives miserable.

Finally my wife made me go to a psychological clinic and I’m almost my old self

If you have depression, don’t feel embarrassed. Do something about it! Here are some noticeable symptoms

• 1. Lack of sleep or to much
• 2. Loss of appetite or eat to much
• 3. Loss of interest in usual thing you like.
• 4. Thoughts of suicide.
• 5. Low self esteem
• 5. Lack of personal hygiene.
• 6 Wanting to be alone

These are but a few, if you have had one or more of the above foe over two week; seek help.

Lord, we come against the spirit of depression in Jesus name and command it to leave! If we need to endure for your glory, lead us to the right doctor to help us. Allow us to tell others if possible of your mercy and grace. Amen!!!!!
