I don't mean the standard emo "I hate the world" depression but actual legitimate depression.

If so, please PM me.

Cruel, I think you probably just asked about half of this board to PM you . . .

amen! and the thing about depression is when you're in the middle of it you don't want to answer the phone, go out, or PM anyone.

Thus, the "-ed" at the end of "suffer"

Check you Pm's. I think I invented depression.

Child, please. I wrote the book on mental illness.

I have suffered from long periods of sadness, but then I turned to Christianity and I've been totally depression free almost.

I think if I turned to Christianity to cure my depression, I'd get even more depressed.

No, I have suffered from depression. Duh! lol

I think all the pastors I know would find that explanation of the end of depression unlikely.

Seriously, I find it very irresponsible to recommend Christianity as a cure to someone's depression.

[MatthewAddison]

Yeah. Judaism is much better.

Teaches you to turn your depression into powerful guilt you can inflict on others and make them do things for you.

I thought Jesus was the only one who could wipe away my tears?

We do it with dollar bills.

Which do you prefer?

I love Christianity, Psalm 6:6 talks directly to me. I recommend it to anyone who's feeling down and doesn't know what to do. (Psalm 6, verses 1-10)

Your Bible talks to you?

Is it like that Talking Phone Book?

Why do I get the image of Tom Cruise sitting on a couch next to Matt Lauer right now?

Do you Christians realize that your religion isn't for everyone? Especially homosexuals dealing with depression? How is a belief system that tells them their lifestyle is wrong going to cure any kind of depression?

Wow, dude...

[BobbyBubby]

Wow what? I don't think there is anything untrue about what I just said.
