I'm sorry to hear you are so frustrated. I hope you are completely healed by Thanksgiving too. Do you have any exercises to do?
I'm doing better than a few weeks ago. I'm on meds and seeing a couselor weekly. I just need to take the initiative and get out there and look for a new job. I've been so tired it's hard to push myself. I even have a ugly cold sore on my lip. I usually don't get those unless I'm really tired and stressed.
I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving. I don't know what I'm doing yet, but a nice long nap would be great!
I am also sad to hear that you are not doing so well lately.
Have you thought of seeing a counsellor in addition to taking medication? The Word of God and Christian mentors are powerful, but I've found that a trained, professional Christian counsellor is also key in helping me with my depression. I also know of a Christian contact with depression who encourages people with depression to not be afraid to see a secular professional who has special knowledge of mental health and depression (e.g. a psych nurse, counsellor, etc.), but I would add that, as long as this professional's help does not contradict the Word of God. I am blessed right now to have my main care givers (counsellor, medical doctor) be Christians, but this was not always the case. My last medical doctor was not Christian as far as I know, but he had a special interest in mental health, and prescribed the medication that I still take.
So, Sarita, I pray for God to give you wisdom in the space you find yourself in right now.
Mar, I am so happy that you are seeing the counsellor regularly. I hope this is helping. Also, good for you for starting to look for a new job. This is difficult to do, especially when dealing with depression, but you can do it. I pray for you as your work within God's timing and will for your life during this difficult time.
