i was wondering if anyone has tried any spiritual dealings with trying to deal with depression..

and to be honest.i am 100 percent positive this is from years of drug abuse. and i have friends who go to counsling for past drug abuse without much help from the meetings. what type of counsling would i seek?. what can i do to repair the damage i have done to my body and soul?. i am not a bad person, i bielive in god. i dont steal, lie, cheat, . i do my best to help others. i just want to know what can i do to make my brain function normally again?. i just want to die sometimes i really do.

I do seek help from God when dealing with depression. What you have to remember is once you surrender your pain and problem to the Father, you have to be disciplined not to pick the problem up on your own again. There in-lies your faith. You have to believe that 1. no problem will be laid on you that you cannot handle 2. you have the power to surrender your issues to the spiritual being that you believe in 3. in the grand scheme of things most issues are minimal

i believe you should speak to your local spiritual guide .. i.e. church, mosque or other religious place of worship.
i myself am not religious but i have seen the miracles of those who have devoted themselves to their chosen religion. spiritual healing will only work if you activly seek the help and guidance needed to keep you on the right track. i wish you all the luck and hope you find what you seek

What kind of drugs have you been experimenting with? It depends… You should not feeel suicidal anyways. From my expirience with drugs, when you end it just think of it as being richer with expiriencec than those who never did it. It must be something else…

I don’t think that the depreddion is caused by the drugs. It is probably something else… My point is that the fact that you gave up drugs is enough to prove you that you have a strong caracter.Depression is probably caused by something else. Are you feeling insecure?

it took a small dose ( small compared to what i was taking) of a addictive drug to get me off the large amounts. but it has saved my life and its under DRS supervision.. i do not feel insecure ..as far as being a addict even though no longer using i still am a addict, but yes that does cause depression. i am not afraid to admit that. i am just trying to find a way to get out of this lack of motivation, no ambition, no drive, walking in circles, crying when my friend snaps at me. its all crazy.. i used to be tough.. independent, and full of life..

There is power in prayer. I have to say I admire your strength and your healing, you have already come such a long way! Right on!

Seeking out a Christian councellor, or even a Christian life coach.

Finding a church that practices the “laying on of Hands” and be diligent in your prayer time. The bible tells us to pray without ceasing. There are many strong holds to be released from so prayer may take time, but with faith, God will heal you.
Prayer can do so much and the wonderful thing about is that we don’t need to have a large amount of faith just as little as a mustard seed.

Take baby steps to your recovery, I would consider your depression like you say a side effect to drug use, and that can be dismantled with taking the time to enjoy life and discover things in life that you may not have gotten the chance to do. Find something that brings you enjoyment and build on that…

you know honey,their are things we cannot handle and we just need to seek gods help in order to get things the way u want them.You know god is a very real being and if you acknoledge him in the mist of all your problems he will answer.It doesn’t matter how you do it or what you say,he will answer you because you have a deep need and he is kind.Some things gotta come around a good rehab clinic,a great friend to motivate you , somethings gotta give and when it does just know god sent it to you.god bless you girl and good luck.
