Choosing it wholehearted words encouragement. You leave little room for depression to take hold. Nicolas Cage had this to say about depression: “I cry a lot. My emotions are very close to my surface. I don’t want to hold anything in so it festers and turns into pus. A pustule of emotion that explodes into a festering cesspool of depression.” As successful as Nicolas Cage can feel the bite of despair. The good news is, he also feels that; “One of the first signs of being depressed is that you lose interest in things. That’s why I think it is important to stay passionate.” No doubt there will be days where we’ll have to fake contentment. Just get by without feeling excited or passionate about the day. What we’re doing and what we still have to do. We’re experiencing. It’s ok. You don’t believe in the fake it till you make it theory. But believe that a smile has the ability to change your outlook on things. Trust that when you choose to express friendliness with your heart. Everything seems better.

We all have our moments of darkness that we must fight to find the light. Some fight the darkness more often than others. I think it is important to have powerful thoughts, and scripture to help us when we are in that place.

It’s so true that just because depression can creep in and take hold, but it doesn’t mean it has to stay. It is possible to overcome.
I personally have never suffered from depression; however, my sister has. Growing up, especially in her teenage years, she was really depressed. Depressed to the point that the guidance counselor at the school called my parents because she was concerned my sister was going to commit suicide. Luckily, she didn’t and her depression has become much milder than what it was, but it was still something very difficult to deal with.
Shelly, I a glad to hear your sister is doing well.
Depression is an ugly thing. I think it’s great that more people are acknowledging it so that others don’t have to feel alone in it.
