How can I get rid of depression?

[Anonymous]

what's the solution?

Depression has many layers, but since most people are not feeding their spirit, I'd be surprised if after reading this there was no change:

So according to you, do we need the Bible to feed our souls?

I spent decades battling depression and I did overcome it. I went the route of meditation, healthy dietary changes, positive affirmations, exercise and audio subliminal. Learning how to 'stop thinking' through being fully present and remaining in 'the now' also helped a lot. But only after inviting God into my life did things really start to become consistently better. I had no interest in the Bible and barely any belief in God before this.

But one day after hearing about the power of Scripture to heal I started searching and came across the one I linked above.

It is said that Faith only comes through hearing so I started reading out all of the scripture out loud every day. What I observed eventually was a much more consistent mood, more contentment but strangely enough, even if I had only a few hours of sleep, as long as I did the Scripture before bed I'd wake up fully refreshed with zero tiredness. I told a friend about this who was studying so waking up really tired and not getting enough sleep and she reported exactly the same!

What I concluded is that there are many ways of feeding our souls, but Scripture was the most efficient and powerful by far from my experience. Now I've ordered Healing Scripture books to read each day. When I had a day where I felt terrible or something had gone wrong. I noticed that about half way through reading out loud that scripture, the bad feelings shifted and vanished. To read all of it took about 20 minutes.

But remember, this only occurs after reading the Scripture out loud for a while and the time is likely to vary from person to person. In other words, the more you hear, the more powerful it is.

I understand what you said, I'm glad it cured you, but I'm not a Christian and I didn't grow up in a Christian family., what should i do 🥺

[Opinion Owner]

None of that prevents you from reading it though. Or will doing so cause you problems due to other stuff?

There are many non Christians that read the Bible and / or scripture.

[Asker]

no of course it's okay I'm a bible reader anyway, but I'm not a Christian frankly i believe there is a god but i don't know what religion i should belong to,

[Asker]

But if I become a Christian one day, my family won't be happy about it, because I grew up in a Muslim family.

My suggestion is to as God for guidance. I don't think it's a coincidence that you ask a question about depression and get this response..

You may want to watch this video as well. It's probably a very unpopular one I bet!

Also look at the comments, very interesting:

Different things work for different people. Antidepressants work for some people while others benefit from therapy. Also, exercising is another because it’s a natural way of releasing endorphins. You just have to see what works for you. How do I know this? I was diagnosed with MDD in 2020. Antidepressants and counseling helped for a while. Then, I started feeling better naturally because I working out regularly.

i went to psychiatrist but not to therapy, hope it works, thanks for your advice❤️

Distracting yourself with things that require full focus or several things that all require a level of focus that will take your focus on whatever is depressing you

[Asker]

I will try

Work out the sources of your sadness and depressive states and see about changing them to reduce the negatives.
Medicine may help, therapy may help, but for me, it's you that matters most in curing your depression

One day at a time. There is no quick fix. But it starts with positive thoughts.

[Asker]

I don't know how to be positive without changing where I live

[Opinion Owner]

Then you'll remain depressed. I didn't say it was easy. There are good things you're just not focusing on them. Focus on them, no matter how small they might be. It's like crossing a river with stones poking out of the water. You gotta focus on each one, one at a time. And you'll get across.

[Asker]

Wow that much small

[Engin12]

Easy. Just accept that its stupid and it doesn't exist. You make that up.

[Asker]

Possible answer from Turkish people

[Engin12]

Whats your problem with Turkey? Its the truth you have to accept it and move on.

[Asker]

I don't have a problem with Turkey, you just underestimated the psychological problems so I gave such an answer.

[Jazzy54]

You know absolutely nothing about mental health. Get lost.
