Nothing can explain the sadness inside of you. The life you live seems so lackluster, and there’s no more pleasure in doing what you used to love.
The change in appetite is noticeable, but nothing is disturbing you more than cross between being sleepless and oversleeping when you shouldn’t be sleeping.
The feeling inside of you is so intense, and you are crying for no reason, feeling hopeless all the time, and empty… completely empty. You can’t describe the pain, agony, and useless feelings that invade your heart.
You feel disconnected from your family, friends, and those who care for you. They say it will pass, but the only question on your mind is: When will it end?
For those who read the text above and identified with it, what you are feeling depression. But don’t lose hope!
The word of God says:
“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression,
But a good word makes it glad.” Proverbs 12:25
The only way to heal depression is to heal the soul. And for that to happen, you need to hear the Word of God. You need to meditate on the Holy Scriptures daily, and they will be medicine for your soul!
The real antidepressant is the Word of God!
May the God of the Bible bless you,
Bishop Bira Joshua
