My Depression!
« on: September 07, 2011, 12:24:47 PM »
Good Day all.

during my life I've battled depression off and on but right now I feel an awful foreboding ,,,The way the world is going ,especially America things are looking totally bleak to me...

We are surrounded by enemies of freedom, God, what's right....

solzhenitsyn said the first thing on the way to a country losing it's freedom is a press that can write anything it wants to, true or not..!..
The liberals, The fact that about half the people in this country are brain dead morons and traitors for voting for this piece of sh*t Obama....

I'm active in the TEA party but the odds seem overwhelming....Does anyone actually believe that they will give up power no matter what the election results are..Besides i believe it will be fixed anyway....

Then I wonder why i'm depressed....I'm ready for God to kick ass..
My cheerful thoughts today...How can I enjoy life wondering how we are slowly being enslaved... ::doublebird::

Chin up.  Depression is the 4th stage of Grief. You will be through it in a bit. Then comes acceptance, and you get on with doing what must be done. I found watching  Firefly/Serenity and Lord of the Rings to be very theraputic.

I can't say I KNOW what must be done, but you can't think straight or see all of the options until you accept the situation.
Personally, I am working on my own Firefly and Going Galt, so I can try to just keep a out of their reach.

Many days I have felt this way, in despair. 

Prayer often helps, and focusing for a bit on some of life's smaller things that can still be enjoyed, like a good meal.  It's not much, but it's something that's still possible and to be thankful for.

Beck has said all of us are alive now for a reason and I believe that; we each have our job to do -- I have no idea what mine is, but I'm sure I'll find out, as will you, because it is we whom God will use to "kick ass".

My good friend always tells me, "in the end, God always wins"; sometimes that sets my teeth on edge for reasons I won't go into here, but I believe that to be true as well, and so, His is Whose side I am on.

{Plus, it helps me to have a place to go -- here -- to vent, give and receive encouragement.}

Tolkien - like his good friend CS Lewis whom Tolkien led to the Cross - was a devout Christian man, and there is little credible doubt that his crowning achievement was allegory to man's struggle against evil from a Christian perspective. Not only is watching it therapeutic, but perhaps also instructional.

Watch this ttomm - seriously, please do - and see if the task at hand does not become a bit more focused.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I understand where you're coming from, completely. That said, I have crossed some invisible threshold where the situation paradoxically gives me an odd sense of hope. I think that comes from the "Acceptance" stage, where you accept that hitting the iceberg is now an inevitability and the focus of our energies should be on how to manage that eventuality rather trying to prevent it (too late for that). 5-10 years ago I was just as aware of the decay of Western civilization, but then it seemed more like something that would limp along until finally succumbing to decadence and demographics, i.e. there was a more profound sense of futility. I at least now have some hope that jig is up and the future is no longer the certainty that it seemed it would be, even just a few years ago.

Great video....I guess when I think about God being in charge is always are we protected somewhat since so many good people have been slaughtered by those like Hitler and Stalin......Yes, I actually do believe Obama is in the same mold ::puke::

Take a walk outside and emty you thoughts about the travesties around us. Concentrate on the Lord's  gift of Creation. Take in the landscapes around you and be amazed as I am at what is.

Hear O' Israel, the Lord is my God, the Lord is One. Amen.

I'll ditto that, I walk a lot.  Will reflect & pray.  Will read a favorite book.  Will vent my angst here.  Without that I would be a hurting unit!  We are a nice little family here and I appreciate all who drop in!

Oh hey, and I can't leave out the gun range...very therapeutic!

I'll encourage you to stay strong and faithful. God doesn't put more on us than we can bear. Take comfort that in the end, victory is ours.

Basically, that whole book of Psalm's is a treasure in and of itself!

 I agree.  And I don't worry about when and where I'll have to act.  I believe He'll make it clear when I have to make a choice.  That's happen in small ways in my life already (like when the doctors gave me a choice to abort or when despite the outcry from my family we choose homeschooling) so I have no doubt I'll recognize anything bigger. I figure my duty is to be ready.
