Tempting to mock them, but I’ve been there. After successfully getting through a very deep clinical depression, I will never mock someone in that state again. If you don’t get it when Christians describe hell as a total separation from God, deep depression is as close as you’re going to get to understanding that conception of hell.

Been there. It is pure hell.

The best cure is exercise and prayer.

I”m sorry you’ve had to experience that. Thank you for sharing your experience as a counterbalance to the ill-informed responses on the thread.

I’ve known a couple of people that has gone through depression.
Although they are both fine now, I have always seen it as a very serious condition
and am thankful I, myself, have not had to deal with it.
It is not a laughing or joking matter.

I’ve been through situational depression. Sucks. Miserable. Very real. Thanks for sharing.

That’s a powerful description. Thanks.

My heart aches for those who suffer depression such as that.
