Good friends helped me in my depression

Tweet

Two weeks ago, prior to my monthly period, I experienced deep sadness settling over me. It was like a dark mantle that covered the light around me. Everything in my soul felt pitch dark. I tried to fight it off, telling myself that I have no reason to be sad. But as the hours went, the cloud of depression just kept getting thicker. Soon, I found myself crying at almost every minute, wherever I was. It was a truly difficult time, because even while riding the public transport or just walking at the sidewalk, tears would fall and there's no stopping it. At one time, while going around the downtown area, I was crying and obviously not in myself, I found beggars clinging to my arm, not really asking for money, but obviously mocking me. It was the pits. But people prayed for me. They couldn't reason with me because I was highly emotional and wouldn't listen. But they kept praying. And today, I can say that I won over depression not with drugs or anything but with God's grace and people who fervently prayed for me. It was a difficult and an uphill battle, but with friends like that, I won it. So if there is anyone battling with depression, find a group where you can share your struggles and who can pray for you. God bless you all!!!
