If you, or someone you love, struggles with depression and no matter what you do, there always seems to be a cloud hanging over you, this podcast may encourage you that there IS hope and help! My guest on this episode, Theresa Fiege, has dealt with clinical depression for a very long time. Theresa shares how she learned to cope and live life on the ‘up’ side thanks to God, a good therapist and medication. I asked Theresa to share what’s helped her in our show notes and she wrote this note to help you:
=> First and foremost, dial 988 if you are thinking of hurting/killing yourself. It will connect you to a live person who can help you. You should also talk to your primary care physician about what is going on.
=> Stay close to God. I use the YouVersion Bible App. There are so many plans for mental health. Filling my mind with God's Word has helped so when I am feeling discouraged or down, I can turn to the verses I've memorized to help. Psalm 42:5-6 is helpful to remind me that God has never failed me and He will not ever.
=> Christian music is a great help. I love the song "Breakdown" by Andrew Ripp. The line, "If you couldn't feel further from redemption, you're the closest you've ever been, ROCK BOTTOM IS A FIRM FOUNDATION" God sees me where I am and He understands me. Music helps.
