Dot McGinnis
“I can't help but remember one of the most trying experiences of my life--my bout with severe mental depression… My fiancé's leaving and my grandparents death sent me even deeper into depression. To add to my misery, one by one, I watched as all my friends deserted me…”
Olia (1)
“I became very depressed and was in agonizing pain and fear… I was completely alone and did not have anyone to share my struggles with. I thought that God did not care and did not love me.”
Henry Shalm
“I still had great battles with despair and depression and the feeling that I still wasn't fully accepted by God… Until about a year ago I went through hard times of depression. Then one day I attended a group of lay people in a worship service, and Jesus brought me a new deliverance, and He made it very clear to me that I was too much alone, and I should associate with fellow Christians.”
Tom Sprague
“I was living under a cloud of depression. I began not caring whether I lived or died… The depression got heavier and I began hearing and seeing different things.”
Terri Hall
“I grew up in eleven different homes, with eleven different guardians. I felt alone, depressed and unloved… I was labeled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and severe depression.”
Ian Dale
“I was often lonely and depressed, obsessive and craving attention and importance… The immanent death of myself, of humanity, and eventually of the universe itself, made immortality through artistic legacy a futile endeavor, and freed me somewhat from that obsession. I knew in some ways that all of this was quite depressing, but I was convinced that it was the truth, so the only thing I could do would be to make the most of it.”
Greg Reinhardt
“I began to have destructive thoughts… This seemed absolutely ridiculous to me, as I wasn't depressed about anything at the time. I had everything I thought I needed ... great family (by this time I was happily married and had one child), a house, a secure job with money.”
Patricia Fennell (1)
“There was coming a day when my wrong choices almost cost me my life. But for the time being I continued to live the lie which caused great depression in my life, mainly because of the deep feelings of loneliness and emptiness inside of me.”
Dennis Minner
“I thought, the more I did all this the more happy I would become. I started getting depressed and started drinking heavier alcohol. Nothing made me happy. I was making money, had my own place, my parents didn’t bother me…but I was miserable.”
Shelter In The Storm
“My parents were divorced when I was ten years old and it seemed that life only got hard from that point on… I became very depressed.”
Linda Carter
“My mother's death had left a huge void in my life. I realized that something really important was missing. I did not know what was happening to me at the time, but I know now that I entered a time of great depression.”
Janis Damask
“I lost 45 pounds going from a 16-18 to a size 11-12. I used to get sore throats, colds and the flu all the time; I was depressed all the time and I have even noticed some age spots are gone.”
Jody Hall
“The past 2 years have not been easy. There were trials and struggles, but through the trials, God has delivered Jody from low self-esteem and depression.”
Sam Vandervalk
“It was like everything that was weighing me down was completely gone. Most people probably would not have said that my life was that bad or even noticed that I was a little depressed. But now something had definitely happened that I could not explain.”
Mimi Ladner
“Jesus Christ healed me of depression, insomnia, anger, impatience, hot temper, sadness, unhealthy relationships and addictions. He filled my heart with joy, peace, love and faith.”
Tamera Gardner
“I had a total mental and physical breakdown. I had been having progressive physical and mental problems for several years… but my neurologist said that it was the effects of chronic depression. I knew that I was in serious trouble because I had been fighting depression for years and I was losing.”
Pete McMaster
“I became depressed, anxious and fearful. I heard noises in my head. I couldn't think, read a book, watch television or do anything. I became a total wreck!”
