Depression

hai

Ok. What is causing your depression? Please be honest, I am very empathetic (do not feel embarrassed if it is something close to your heart).

I really honestly do not know. SOME things have happened but I am 99% sure that isnt the cause

Do you think (maybe), laziness, lack of motivation, no hope for a good future and confusion is a part of this?

No lol

Idk now that you mention it, recently I've been thinking about my future and I guess I want to become oLdEr badly??

Older badly?

idk really

I know that you know. You can explain it. Just do it. :)

Weeeellllll in like 6 years I'll be 18 so I just talk about it with my sisters but thinking about it makes me depressed somehow and then I get depressed all the time

Yeah, good. Of course, in a sense, we are living (because God made us), but in another sense (the sense of what Heaven offers compared to what this life offers) we are not.

Again, we are here to glorify God, and to do his will, which will in turn glorify him. That is why I stress hearing from him. Make sure to go to those links, or get a pdf of them (or another source that teaches the same thing).

okee

Okay.

Are you uncomfortable with something, say how you look, or something that you have always wanted to do but are too lazy to do?

Ummmm well I might have a mental disorder (being ridiculously sensitive to sounds. I have all symptoms I think) and I try to explain it to my family but they either don't understand or don't respect that so they keep on making small noises that CAN be avoidable. So I feel really uncomfortable about it and it makes me try to run away

Well, since I am not a psychiatrist, I cannot use tools to help as one would (nor I am even in person), but I can recommend programs.

I can also give advice, but listen to those who have studied this for 20 years.
One good clinic is: www.meierclinics.com

For my advice? Well, for one, knowing that this life is not even life. Heaven is described in the Bible as the best of God's imagination (so what we can imagine how Heaven is like, then to the best of God's imagination). By that standard, we aren't even living yet. Lately, I have been feeling depressed, but then I remember that, as long as I am walking with God, this very short pain will benefit. This life is worthless compared to what we have waiting. That is why taking up the cross doesn't seem so bad to me anymore, because I will be able to experience everything that I have missed in this life, but to a greater extremity in Heaven.
I'll think to myself: "Oh, I really wanted to be able to become a professional climber, but I won't now."-Oh yes I will, I will get to climb the highest and most beautiful climbs ever, and not care about falling.

I am not saying that following Jesus is leaving everything behind (necessarily). That may be what he wants you to do, which is why it is very important to be able to hear his voice. He may tell you that you do need to leave everything behind, or he may not.

Can't hear from him? Well, there are many ways to have the ability to. Of course, God is God, so you can't command him to speak. But if you aren't able to hear him anyway, it won't matter.

Here are some great day by day books to have about this, which will answer your questions:

You may be thinking: "I don't want to read books! I need answers!" Well, you do, so ask them. Ask them and read, so you learn from the books (which are not boring) and learn from pastors and other well credited Christians.

........woah

What did you get from that comment (type back to me what you learned about this life and the potential next((there are no wrong answers, I just want to know what you heard))).

Ummm I learned that by the standard of Heaven we basically arent living yet, and as long as we walk with God this short pain will benefit
