She is right nobody knows how depression feels unless they have gone through it ❤

"God loves us despite of our faults. Shouldn't we be saying, God loves me because of my faults? My faults are part of my make-up. God wants me to be the way I am, handing those faults the best I can. You are the way you are because that's the way God loves you." Thank you, Sister.

Thank you for posting such honesty about depression, Sister. It is NOT a lack of faith.

No, it is not, because I even say, Jesus please help me, I need to know He is there over anybody else. I know he knows why I am like this, He knows all!

Thank you for sharing dear Sister and I'm sorry you have also travelled this difficult path. I agree with what you are saying. It's learning to cope with what we are dealt. Due to a huge amount of trauma and my genetic make-up I have bipolar and a complex kind of ptsd that makes my daily life almost impossible to cope with much of the time. Every day is a challenge, it's hard to keep going but I do it for the sake of my family as I can't put them through the agony of loss. It doesn't help when one is unable to sleep more than a couple of hours at night and everything is so overwhelming. Praying for all those that suffer too. Hold onto life which is so precious. God loves us more than we will ever know. Don't be afraid to take the meds, I struggle with this. The challenges we are thrown often seem unsurmountable but just hold on. Struggle with sitting at Mass? Watch it live online. God sees our suffering and is sad for us but willing us on.

Try your best anyway and if you fail say it to God and begin again in peace. Leave all concerns in his hands. To fail is to be expected but what matters is you keep trying.

Yes, I have never had this full on before like I have in the past 12 months or more. Damn shocking, and nobody knows, and I will say it, nor cares, as they brush it off with, Oh, if you need to talk, just give me a call. That is not a friend, again, pushing it back on you to do something, but I won't. People I have found to be of no use and I have accepted that, even though you listened to them when they had problems. I have cut so many of these away from me, they were not helping nor did they want to.

So sorry you are suffering also. I understand how it feels, this year has been overwhelming for me too yet I've kept trying. Sending love to you that the coming year will bring peace and health in all areas of your life. God loves us and knows our struggles.

Pray, pray, pray. I think the mental illnesses all have an intrinsic connection to Jesus’ mental anguish in Gethsemane and through them we come to understand higher things. And Jesus said to his disciples “pray” right as he was entering into his Gethsemane hardship,

Oh no, it's not from the devil, but it's always from someone normally close, in my case my mother!

Isn't the fullest version of "me" my glorified self? I am not my faults right? My faults do not define who I am but rather destroy who I am... Perhaps she means how our strengths come from the same brokenness our faults do. Perhaps Sr is trying to say that we should not reject our proclivities and our inclinations which we often have no power over, because these sensitivities which are out of our control are not our fault or guilt, but rather we need to accept what God has allowed to form us. These sensitivities are what give us our greatest strengths and characterize our glorified self.
