There are many signs of depression. To some it is like living life in a box that keeps closing in on you; to others it is just like you have on sunglasses and your world is getting darker and darker; to others it is where daily tasks become impossible to perform and you feel fully lifeless.
Many folks have faced some form of depression in our lives, but some of us may cope with depression on a constant basis. For those that do, the manifestations of depression can be life altering.
At some specific point most of us will either experience the impact of depression, or will have a private relationship with someone that is coping with depression.
Am I Depressed?
Depression frequently shows itself, even at the beginning, with symptoms and signs that are straightforward to recognize. If you find yourself in an extended period of sadness and feeling dead, or it gets difficult to handle normal activities and living life takes on an appearance of darkness, you may have your answer to "Am I Depressed?"
Other signs are: decision-making becomes most unlikely, difficulty sleeping or oversleeping, listlessness and shortage of inducement, pessimism, being completely exhausted, hopelessness sets in, either not eating or overeating, unending worrying, and even thoughts of suicide.
If you can answer yes to even a couple of these symptoms, the beginning of a persistent struggle with depression could be well on its way. Not a list to live life by. Glance at the definition of depression:
The first definition is a condition of psychological turmoil, typically with a total lack of energy and difficulty in maintaining concentration or interest in life.
The second definition shows a more severe sort of depression: grim unhappiness and dejection, accompanied by feelings of depression and inadequacy. Often referred to as clinical depression. It can be triggered by hormone problems, brain dysfunction, or other medical problems. People that are suffering from clinical depression need aid from specifically trained physicians and Christian counselors.
Godly Perspective
Do you believe God made you? If you answered yes, and you are facing depression, you can wonder whether something must be dramatically wrong. First let me stress that there are numerous Christians, folk in the Bible, and non Christians who deal with depression; it touches all walks of life. Steadfast folk aren't immune to depression.
Being depressed does not mean God is mad at you, nor it is because of a lack of religion. It also does not necessarily imply you are not saved, or don't love God, or a thousand other statements folks will make. Please put all of that to rest. There are sufficient stigmas attached to anyone who has depression already, and they do not need a larger burden. They need their burden lifted.
Don't Be Surprised
We frequently think that distressing trials, such as being depressed, shouldn't be part of our life. If they are there must something significantly wrong. This verse can be very freeing because God is informing us not to be confounded, nor is it strange if we are experiencing suffering or discomfort in our life.
Dear friends, do not be shocked at the agonizing trial you are suffering, as if something strange were happening to you.
1 Peter 4:12 NIV
