Shh

May 18, 2011

the hardest thing about my depression is the effect it’s had on my extroversion

its robbed me of my writing, that therapy, that form

its robbed me of my audiences

God. Friends.

something needs to change but what?

  1. Have you considered illegal drugs? I’m kidding.

    Do you have someone you can talk to about this?

    Christian counselling has always helped me, specifically ones that don’t make you feel bad or like less of a Christian because you’re depressed/anxious.

    Well, as an atheist speaking… (BTW, I found your blog on some google search I did, can’t remember now…) Don’t worry about god. God will find you, if you open your heart and not worry about finding him.

    About friends… I dunno, I’ve read a few of your last blog posts, It seems that your entire world view wraps itself around god. Well, I’m sorry to tell you, there’s a whole world of people out there with different views. It’s called philosophy. Ya know, the search for meaning and understanding of this world?

    I dunno. This is just some drunk guy guy speaking. But I hate to see a person in such misery. C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien is all I’ve gotta say.

    • Were you googling “gold finch”? I get more hits on this blog from that than any other search term…

      Thanks for drunk-commenting. It made me smile… like this –> :)

      As an ENFP, my core beliefs structure my world and actions, so my belief in God can’t really be stripped from anything I do.

      I took a number of philosophy courses in university. Did quite well. Got a great mark on my paper on the ethics of masturbation in my Philosophy of Sex course… but that’s a story for another day.

      Depression affects Christian and non alike. I am happy (ahah) to say at the moment I am not depressed. But I did read the Narnia books while I was depressed and was quite blessed by them. Not sure if that was a suggestion meant to help fix the problem, but thanks :)

    I can totally relate. Thanks for the honesty.
