Since my teenage years I have had to face the overwhelming challenge of depression. I have successfully been depression free for the last several years. Depression has taught me many lessons. I do not wish it on anyone, yet if you suffer from this condition, I encourage you to open yourself up to what to depression can teach you.
The most important lesson is to know that God loves you and wants you to heal.

2. We have the potential to heal from anything.
3. Depression was a generational pattern in my family.
4. My negative thinking only fed the energy of my depression.

Take a moment and write five things that you have learned from depression. Believe that you deserve to be well and happy. Do whatever is required to achieve this.
Much of your depression may be driven by unmet needs from your childhood and issues that you have never healed. Depression is very much related to a low self-esteem and feelings of no self-worth. There is help that does not require months or even years of therapy. One of the greatest resources I used to help me heal my depression was EFT.
EFT and other Energy Psychology tools made all the difference. Help may only be a "tap" away. Whether you believe it or not, take the time to look into these cutting-edge resources and give them a try. Happiness is waiting for you!
