I doubt this will make sense to anyone. I'm not entirely sure that I understand it. But I've been slowly improving with this depression thing for a few weeks...and I made it leave. Last night, I forced it out. I know that's hard to believe, and you're probably gonna think that I must have never had it in the first place. But I swear to you that I did, and that I got rid of it. I realize that many people have to endure this their entire lives or for many years and try every possible way to rid themselves of it, but can't. I doubt this would work for everyone, but it did for me. And maybe it can for you too.

 

Please don't think me crazy. Think seriously about this. I know religious beliefs vary, and yours may determine if you believe this or not. But all around us are spirits--good and bad. If you read the bible, there's numerous stories of people being possessed with evil spirits, and Christ would command them to leave. They had no choice but to leave when he told them to, or when they were commanded to in the name of Jesus Christ.

 

Okay, so who's to say that we don't still have evil spirits haunting us these days? They're still around...more so than ever. There's all sorts of medical and scientific reasons why people have mental disorders, including depression. But I now truly believe that these disorders are caused by these evil spirits. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't experienced it myself.

 

I remember the first time I had a huge breakdown and really wanted to die, I felt like there was something there telling me "Just do it" over and over. I knew that wasn't me, because I knew that I would NEVER want to do that. Just the same, it was there. It was so persistent, but when I would come out of it, I looked back and knew that wasn't me. I'm not like that--I'm not depressed, I'm not suicidal, I am NOT a negative person, I love my life. Something else was making me feel that way.

 

I didn't realize until last night that there actually was something or someone else there. My parents have been seeing this counselor to help them with their marriage problems, and the counselor has been teaching them about these spirits, and how to cast them away. My dad helped me realize that was why I was depressed...I had an evil spirit with me. Two, in fact. Actual beings, not just figments of my imagination.

 

Yeah, that sounds really scary. We watch horror movies and there's evil spirits possessing people and killing and all that stuff. But it's not like Hollywood. These spirits are a load of cowards. You are so much more powerful than they are...first of all, you have a body and they don't. They want nothing more than to make you as miserable as they are. But they can't unless you let them. You have the power to make them leave. They can't stay if you force them to leave.

 

It's hard to believe. I don't expect hardly anyone to believe this. But I hope my story will help someone, somewhere, find the strength to cast out the spirits causing their depression. Because it works. You don't have to feel that way--you have a right to happiness and it is time to seize that right. Clear your mind, and find the evil spirit(s). Then tell them to GET OUT. Be firm and don't fear them. They can't hurt you. Tell them to go to the light--the Light of Christ. There they can progress and don't have to be so miserable. I can almost guarantee that some will hesitate or even refuse to budge. Raise your hand to the square, and command them in the name of Jesus Christ to get out. Do not pity them, do not have any mercy for them. You tell them to get out and get out now. They cannot stay.

We are too focused on the physical realm and this dimension most of us exist in.  There are spirits both good and bad and onlyl God (and the name of Jesus Christ) can make them depart.  It is becoming more and more evident that modern psychiatry doesn't really have a clue and the money making pharmaceuticals often to more harm than good -- surely a pharmaceutical has never cured anyone with depression or suicidal thoughts.  I am very happy for you!

Yes a pharmaceutical drug cured my depression......so they do work ( this was after trying 4 which didn't work). The mind is very powerful and I believe in its power to cure in some cases. Medical science is also powerful and has the ability to cure. R

Oh I totally agree with you. Medical science is amazing and the mind is extremely powerful...in fact I believe that depression cannot be cured without the willpower of the person who has it. It must be willed away, and sometimes that's enough. But more often than not, it also requires some assistance from medication, other people, and/or God. I'm certainly not saying that it can only be cured by a miracle like that. That's just what it took for me =)

I too believe you and have been thinking more and more about the spiritual dimension of the experience of depression and how to adapt to it. This is something that's been with me my entire life, and most non-spiritual approaches have not worked. My spirituality runs deep, though it is different from yours, and I have no doubt I can find a way on this level to change the direction of my life. I wish you well and hope you will keep writing here about your experiences.

dispression is a horrible thing 2 years ago i had depression to the stage i tried to take my own life. it started of with a x- partner threatening following me around threatening my children for a year he was doing this the courts let him walk away. I couldnt do it any more one night i sat and wrote a letter to my mum to take care of my children. my biggest regrate my son found me laying in my bed after I took the pills, then i met my new partner and things was looking up and i felt i could cope with life.

these last few weeks i can feel the depreeion coming back it like a monster ive just manage to drag myself to the doctors and my worst fear was going back on the anti- depressions. my parnter dont want me to go back on them i just say if they help with the way i feel its the only thing i can do. sorry if this bores you and if it dont make sense. i will say i think the biggest step to recovery is talking about it.

Something I've kinda learned from all this is that YOU are stronger than the depression. I often feel it creeping up on me again, ready to attack and drag me back down. Maybe this sounds bogus, but you can tell it to go away. You are more powerful than you think. Tell it to GET OUT. It'll attack when you're most vulnerable, but you still have to fight. It's possible. For some people, it will never go away. But you don't have to let it affect you. I hope this makes sense.
