Courtney,

I have never gone through depression, but have seen people that do........if you use drugs you are more apt to suffer from it.  Drugs will cause hallucinations, which usually means you are out of control........so evil steps in and tries to take control of you.

I know that many will give you false information.  Because they also are messed up and want company.

Remember this.................the Lord is the only thing that will help you fight it.............just say, Lord please help me to fight this sickness, and picture yourself in his hands......

God made me with a strong spirit.........throughout life I have been handed many problems..........but never did I blame God.  I just would say............oooooooooooops wrong door......let's try another one.  My motto is when life knocks you down, pull yourself up by the socks..........depression is usually a state of mind.  You let life get control of you.

Go outside look at all the wonders God put on this earth.  The stars, the moon, the birds, every kind of flower you can imagine, the beauty of a little child's face.

Many prescribed drugs make the problem worse......I have worked in drug rehab.........seen people put on legal drugs to replace illegal ones........then they are the same, no better, but it is legal..........a quick fix for the doctors that have to prescribe something, but do not have the answers.

God bless you and help you Courtney.........Di
