My beloved sister commited suicide last June. The emotional pain is unbearable. She suffered many years from extreme depression. A chemical imbalance. Not even she understood it. Depression runs in the family. I also suffer from depression...but my love for God and Christ brings me so much Joy and happiness that i rarely.need any meds.at.all. Trust God. Love God. Ask Christ to embrace your illness and take ot from you.💗✝ I promise you he will.

God does give us more than we can handle. That's why there are suicides. If the person was able to deal with it, they wouldn't have committed suicide.

The childhood sets you up for success or failure, unless God intervenes in a miraculous way. Apostle Paul did not have a bad childhood - he grew up at the feet of Gamaliel. As an adult, he was able to mentally break things down and understand trials and temptations, only after His meeting with Christ.

[@luismoro5720]

What about being on the verge of losing your home when it was not your fault?

[@ib4038]

What about suffering in childhood? How can a child survive trials?

[@victoriak1219]

Exactly.

[@stevewyche5232]

If this is true why are there suicides? Obviously those people felt that they could not handle the situation.
