I’m severely depressed and I want to die, but I find a lot of humor in this world. It’s a masquerade, the way I see it! Democrat and Republican have little meaning to me, as they have always been a vital part of the masquerade.

As Saint Paul states: In all things, God works for the good. Whatever happens politically, economically, or socially, it does not matter in that the just are headed toward Heaven. Things in this world are simply too phony to take seriously anymore. So get the mask out so as not to offend anyone, fill yourself with faith, hope and LOVE, and welcome to the masquerade!
 
You need to get help right now if you are feeling suicidal. I strongly recommend that you seek counseling to help cope with these feelings of depression if you are not already doing so.

My prayers are with you. Don’t let this world bring you down. You are right when you say that worldly matters such as politics, finding a spouse, etc are going to seem meaningless from the perspective of the next life. The only thing that matters in this life is being on the narrow path by loving God and our neighbour with our whole heart. But loving and caring for our own mental well-being is a part of that since God loves us infinitely, how could we profess to love Him but then not take proper care of that which He holds so dear?

God bless.
 
My dear brother in Christ i agree things are horrible nowadays but we have hope through our Lord Jesus who will never abandan us. He instructed us that we be in this world but not of this world. I was ina simialar place before in my life then i met a beautiful christian who showed me the beauty of life and the good things in life which far out weighed the bad. She also showed me that my life was worth so much and our Lord had created me for a reason. I dont know who hurt you but know this you are loved. When i began to see this my life changed as will yours if you open yourself up to Christ Jesus. I will pray for you God Bless

You have started several threads about being depressed and wanting to die.
Why haven’t you sought medical/psychiatric help? Nobody here is qualified to give the help you need.

I note someone here has said you have posted a few times about being depressed, Now I may not have a degree in psychology but I do know what you are going through as I’ve been there myself many times.

I have Bipolar 1 disorder and have been through the mill myself, but I’ve come out the other end reasonably unscathed.

I know seeking help is difficult for many reasons, you may feel that no one can help you, that you cant imagine anything but the blackness of what you’re feeling and that you can’t remember the last time you were happy, and you are just too tired to think about moving you may also struggle with the cost of getting therepy and medication but there is help out there.

but I assure you from personal experience that you must, must, must seek help and as quickly as possible. depression doesnt go on its own, it causes damage and psychological trauma.

feeling suicidal isnt a normal feeling or behaviour, you must go to a doctor today before your condition gets worse, and it will untreated.

you need to talk to someone who cares for you like a spouse, parent or close friend, get them to go with you to the doctors if you dont want to go alone, ask them to help you get up and take you to the doctor as being depressed makes moving very difficult, why would you go anywhere when moving just to the bathroom feels like you’ve climbed a mountain.

but you have to fight these ideas that come into your head about killing yourself, you know deep down they arent correct feelings to be having so dont allow them to deprive you of your life… there is hope there is light … I promise you I guarantee it!

It wont happen over night, once you are on medication it will take about 2 weeks for it to start showing any effect, in the mean time keep a mood diary and be accountable to your feelings dont be ashamed of yourself for feeling terrible or having terrible thoughts, you have to work through them one by one… some days will be easy others so hard that you wonder if you have the strength to carry on, but again i assure you that you do have the strength just find that ray of hope that little bit of strength lurking in the back of your mind …

you are crying out for help by posting these questions on here and im reading you loud and clear my friend…

If you would like you are more than welcome to contact me here and just talk about what ever you wish.

but you must go to the doctor right away… its imperative that you do so that you can battle this awful disease and win.

i will be praying for you

I appreciate your concern but I never said I was suicidal! I’m not suicidal and I’ve been seeing a psychologist and psychiatrist for the past 7 years.
 
This thread is not going in the direction I wished. I really wanted to talk about viewing the world as a masquerade.
 
In a consumer driven economy, we have to put on the masquerade in order to sell, and to remain employable in such an economy. This is why sensitive souls without guile choose non-profit careers.

Certainly, politics are a masquerade since either the wealthy are elected, or the wealthy fund the candidates.

All too often the church becomes a masquerade in order not to offend the wealthy donors, and the consumer driven dynamos within the church.

Yes, we are a masquerade to ourselves also. If we ever had to see ourselves as God sees us, we would become speechless with horror.

Humor and sarcasm are a way of coping. The dark night of the soul seems to be the only way out, but it is diagnosed by many as depression. Yet, the apostle Paul says, **“If our hope is in this life only, we of all men are most miserable.” **That seems to say that being a disciple of Jesus Christ is not that pleasant in this life.

"Now are we the children of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be, but when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope within them, purifies themselves, even as he is pure."

"Our citizenship is in heaven, from whence also, we look for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

"Let us who are of the day be sober, having on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

Peace.

When your very first words are “I’m severely depressed and I want to die” what do you think is going to be discussed.
