    The whole time he is suffering he is thinking about people around him , even when he is laying under a train in unimaginable pain he is thinking about not wanting to traumatize other people- selfless man. I hope you find all the healing you deserve

    Depression has a way of making you feel like you're inconveniencing people all the time. It's quite debilitating.

    I’m glad he mentioned chemical imbalance as a possible reason for mental health difficulties. Many people avoid taking medication for whatever reason but it can help to balance hormones.

    😭 You were going through so much and you just wanted the whole thing to end but you still thought about other people, how incredible. Says a lot about your heart. More healing to you. The positivity and accepting the disability is huge.

    Depression is real, I've been in same boat all my life until I was 25/26 I knew these of wishing I could kill myself and feeling unwanted , not at peace and not enough was not okay. I need to find help. I'm really grateful because I was working so I can afford to go for therapy. I ask my GP for a therapy he knows he gave me contact. Even getting to something called counseling or therapy it was through the love of watching US show I was exposed to it. First day I went there I prepared the reason why I'm going for therapy, I was total different than I thought. Today I know who I am because of therapy before I didn't know who I am, why so much emptiness in my heart. I know most of black people even those who can afford therapy they don't go for it because of taboo or stereotypes surrounding it but as a black woman it's completely changed my life. I still go to classes and encourage everyone around to go for it. THANK YOU for this show today its brought so much tear in my eyes no one deserves so much pain. I honor him to take something so painful and turn it to positive. God bless him abundantly for sharing his story.

    I have one question for all who suffer depression. Has any of them ever been baptized by full immersion and that way offered their soul as a living sacrifice unto God, and seen what happens then? That is something I am really curious about because for me that was a turning point in my life. Although mine wasn't depression, it was another spiritual problem, but I have always wondered if it wouldn't also help with depression. Because that baptism by immersion makes you cross into a realm that, as the Bible puts it, as the children of Israel were entering the promised land, they were told, 'it is a land that God watches over 24/7.' In otherwords, it helps us cross from, our dominantly flesh world, to a spiritual realm, where the Lord cleanses you. I have tested this with a demon possessed young boy if 16 and it worked. He was totally set free. So I keep wondering about depressed people. The thing is that it is not easy to convince people that Jesus Christ was very serious when He taught us that, no one can enter the kingdom of God, unless THEY ARE BORN OF WATER, and the Spirit. And when you truly believe it and do it. It actually works. That said. I have really been touched by your story because I could feel your sincerity. But not only that, you are truly altruistic. You totally think about the we being of others before yours even. You truly have a heart of gold, but the piece of flesh you got landed in a very challenged portion of land. All you need is deliverance from the challenges you were born into physically because it is we with your soul. And then the final thing I wanted to note is in form of a question. We human beings are really truly built wondrously because we exist in two planes, the physical and the spiritual. But we are first and foremost spiritual because that's the identity we are never going to lose. The flesh is temporary and we are leaving that one anytime because no one is promised tomorrow. Why then do we let our physical/flesh part define us? Why should I be defined by my sexuality, when I am not going to be any of that the minute I leave this flesh? I am, for example, heterosexual, but that line of existence brought me nothing but trouble till I decided to live asexually, and I am fine! I have lost nothing! Whatever it is that I would have gained through my sexuality would have been something I found on this earth and that I am going to leave here. Because as I came, I only came with a flesh vessel, and even that, I am going to lose as I depart. They will bury it and it will rot! Why should I let it dictate my joy? I have absolute authority over that. I can cut it off as I did. But I am careful as I say this, that even then, to be able to cut it off and think independently as I do today, I was only able to achieve after the crossing. And by crossing, I mean after my baptism by immersion, after I heard Jesus Christ's exhortation to Nicodemus that we must be born again of the WATER and the Spirit. I was then able to repent from my past life and the Spirit for whom it is easy, separated my real person from my flesh man. So though I still exist in thus flesh, it doesn't hold me anymore. Those are my contributions to this discussion.

    Thank you for sharing your profound spiritual journey. It's evident that your baptism had a transformative impact on your life. While spiritual practices can be powerful for personal growth, mental health challenges like depression often require comprehensive support that may include various approaches. Each person's journey is unique, and different paths to healing should be respected and supported.

    Whaaaat? The person who's task was to teach you not to be gay had sex with you? Maybe the process was nothing else but grooming. Depression is real and has always been there, the jokes out there that it is modern made up thing for attention seeking individuals is false. One will never understand it unless they have been through it.
