My Depression Has a Name

Tonight is different It's wanting something more No longer speaking gental This pain has a roar My depression has a name It's almost devoured me Even though I fight My spirit is now broken It's gonna take me tonight My depression has a name Confusion fills my mind And fear is within Truth is, I'm weak Darkness is gonna win My depression has a name I'm lost and confused I continually cry This name is my destination It's called suicide

Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Meanwhile, I greet you with a Joyous New Year with this prayer from the Bible in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

Sally I’ve had traumas in my life and often wished I could end life. But life’s a gift we should make the most of it, if I wake up feeling down I smile for it’s amazing what smiles can do. It helps me feel better and more importantly it helps those who’ve heartaches too. I hope this helps you, you’re beautiful, everyone is beautiful in their own way… Belle

I don’t think you’re weak Sally, that’s what depression wants you to think, gnawing away at your defences til life seems meaningless, pointless, and worthless, I hope this particular dark episode lift’s for you soon, cheers David

Chronic depression is indeed every bit as bad and debilitating as acute depression, writing about it can be cathartic and a coping mechanism, you are indeed in my thoughts, take care!

David , thank you for that. It's been torturing me for sometime now. It's definable gotten better. The bad part is, it used to come on heavy and strong, even leaving scars. Now It's with me constantly but it's not so heavy. It definitely gets in the way of my ability to smile everyday. Just pray for me
