    I've been chronically depressed for about 15 years, and I've been doing well for awhile. But recently I started sinking. I don't think I can go through it again. I have skills, techniques, etc. from classes, counselors, doctors, etc., but I haven't the energy. I just can't go through this pain and anguish again, and I don't want to put my family through it. Has anyone else been in this place, and, if so, what have you done to make it through?

    Just take it one day at a time.

    Be grateful for what you have.

    Try to see the goodness in the support of your family and friends.

    Try not to concentrate on all of the bad stuff.

    Concentrate on the good stuff.

    Peace.

    IF you haven't already,
    ELIMINATE caffeine & theophyline containing foods from your ENTIRE diet:

    At the same time, check out several effective, natural means for treating depression:

    A person who wholeheartedly follows God’s guidance can rely on this promise:

    “Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not gaze about, for I am your God. I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness.” (Isaiah 41:10) http://watchtower.org/e/20070515/article_02.htm

    I went through severe depression for years, too.
    Natural methods PLUS the comfort from the Scriptures themselves is what gave me the strength to go on . . .
