Beth, I am just coming out of a black hole. There is hope!
I am Schizo Affective and have been for over twenty years.
I had to go on Lithium this time because the depression was so deep.
I am middle aged with nothing to show for it but suffering.
I offer that suffering now for your Mental & Spiritual Health.
God Bless You…

I would insist on medication.
Change doctors. The pills for psychiatry are so sensitive to weight and takes and mixtures that it is not the first doctor that sometimes gets it done.
I had one depression that took the 4th doctor to get me well…
So, do not give up on medicine…
 
**I work with people in service of the Church and we have shared the same…to the point of calling this a lack hole. Please know that I not saying to do nothing. I believe that many are experiencing this and the only response it to pray harder and seek a spiritual director,

This all means many are under attack of the evil one.

Know that I am not suggesting you do not need medical intervention…only a priest or a trust Christian therapist would know.

Be consoled thar you are not alone.**
 
You should quickly seek a professional opinion if you think you’re suicidal. That’s probably the most serious sin one can commit.

Look in the phone book for a suicide hotline, call it, and they will help. Or if you use Google and they have your location locked down just Google ‘suicide prevention’ and there you are. Best wishes.
 
Praying for you, Bethanysamuel-I know exactly how dismal depressiong is, been there and it isn’t easy. I have depression and anxiety issues, and to make matters worse, am a divorced, single mother of three with two living with me and having no support from my family. My dad disowned me and I am being blamed for my son’s autism, even though I have mild aspergers myself. Going through financial issues and trying to keep both cars running (my car and my son’s car)-when the going gets tough, sometimes it floods. Somehow, by the grace of God, I’ve found inner strenght and the love of my kids/friends/co-workers and folks from my unit (I’m in the reserves) who somehow stood by me through all this. It is tough but please remember, this life is only temporary-and perhaps God is testing your faith-I am not sure of your unique circumstances but my situation is life’s never-ending hardships. Please don’t give up, now matter how difficult things are going with you-please see a good doctor who can prescribe meds to help you, if needed. I believe that there are resources and maybe support groups out there who can better understand your situation more so than us here on catholic answers. Please remember, Jesus loves you immensely-he is a healer, too-please give all your cares and troubles to Him, and leave it with Him (I tend to keep taking things back, which isn’t good :<). I agree with others who suggested contacting the suicide hotline. Please don’t give in to the enemy’s lies-many folks with depression, like Job in the bible remained strong despite their hardships for the believed that God will see them thorugh this tribulation. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers…hugs…:console::crossrc::blessyou:

Praying, and …

See your doctor and ask for a psychopharmacologist who specializes in fine-tuning anti-depressant medication. Your meds might not be working or a change in combo might be warranted.

I can tell you that those left behind never get over the suicide of a loved one. The pain left behind is incredible – and your pain becomes their pain, but they have no understanding.

Ask God to carry you.

O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,
we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.

Amen.

By Saint Ignatius of Loyola

God Bless.
 
Lord, please heal Bethany, and let her know how precious she is to you and to all of us. May she persevere and find a holy priest to be her spiritual director. Help her to cry out to you in her pain and do not let her isolate herself from you or others. Please help her to meditate on the torments you suffered for her and for the life of her soul; while meditating may she comfort you in your pain and take her mind off of her own suffering. May she never throw away something so precious as her soul. Please grant her peace, courage, strength, deep faith, surrender to your holy will and abandonment to your divine providence. Please grant her all the graces she needs to carry her cross courageously. May she receive you frequently in the sacraments for the strength and healing she so desperately needs. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
Dear Beth may our dear Lord comfort and strengthen you, and help you to find kind ways to brighten other people’s lives through you smile, your kind words, your thoughtful acts, and thereby, as you enrich others’ lives, you enrich your life.

May God bless you.
 
Thank you all of you so much. I think there is definitely a Job situation going on cuz only the evil one would want me to take my life, no-one else. I think i need to go back to my doctor but i think this depression is so deep that i’m gonna have to get major spiritual forces( Adoration, more time with the priest, prayer groups, anything to do with God basically) please continue to pray for me thank you so much i really mean that sincerely xx
