I have now overcome a 7 years battle with depression. My own recovery includes corrected personal beliefs about God and Jesus and about the beliefs I had of myself and life. I wont say anymore as everyone travel their own journey and have specific needs but I just thought to tell everyone: There is always hope in a more peaceful and rested future (even though I have lost a great deal of money on the ASX!).
If you really struggle with suicidal thoughts by all means seek professional advice or even hospitalisation. Suicide often comes after mental exhaustion, hopelessness and profound self-rejection. Dont give in and dont give up. If you live with a depressed person, seek help for yourself also. If you know a person suffering with depression or presenting symptoms, encourage them gently to seek professional help and please dont tell them to pull their socks up. They cant, depression is profoundly debilitating.
