I suffer from depression - strong family history. I get on with life the best I can - I've got a supportive wife and kids. But I feel like crap virtually every day. If I could go home to be with the Lord I would, but I'm no quitter,

The Lord says to be of good cheer, that he has overcome the world.

I have a terminal disease for which there is no cure. I get up every morning and thank God for the day, and pray that I won't sqaunder the opportunities He gives me.

And I am almost NEVER depressed.

I rejoice for you - I hope this depression never visits you.

But joy in the Lord is mine even now - without Him I could not go on.

Note" - look at the psalms of David - he was very depressed.

Kind regards in Christ.

Most of those stuck on depression are irresponsible and full of self pity, blaming everyone else and the world for their lot in life.
How stupid. What a waste of time.

The Lord says to be of good cheer, that he has overcome the world.

The Lord also said that He "desires mercy more than sacrifice"

Try displaying some instead of being the "ugly Christian"
