You know you are having a bad day when\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

The worst player on the golf course wants to play you for money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your twin brother forgets your birthday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your 4-year-old tells you that it’s almost impossible to flush a grapefruit down the toilet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your doctor tells you that you are allergic to chocolate chip cookies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone loves your driver’s license picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your kids start treating you the same way you treated your parents.<\/span><\/p>\n

You know the feeling. Things aren\u2019t going right. You have the blues. You are irritable and sad. You have had weeks like that or maybe even a semester when you were taking calculus.<\/span><\/p>\n

We say we are depressed or sad, we have the blues. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sadness<\/a><\/span> is part of life. We’ve all experienced it and we will again. Loneliness, grief,\u00a0discouragement are all part of the normal life. <\/span><\/p>\n

Clinical depression is an abnormal emotional state, a mental illness that affects our thinking, emotions, perceptions, and behaviors. When we’re depressed we feel sad about everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depression does not discriminate.\u00a0 <\/span>Anyone can suffer depression. Depression is no respecter of persons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Depression <\/a><\/span>is not just sadness.\u00a0 <\/span>Yes, sadness is one symptom, but depression is pervasive and effects every part of life.\u00a0 <\/span>It effects our intimate relationships, our physical, emotional, and spiritual health.\u00a0 <\/span>Depression is reflected in our behavior, speech, and thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

You cannot just snap out of it. It doesn\u2019t help to tell someone with a broken arm, to just get over it.\u00a0 <\/span>Diabetes doesn\u2019t go away just because you wish it would.\u00a0 <\/span>Neither does depression.\u00a0 <\/span>It is a disease that may go away on its own, or may need treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depression doesn\u2019t mean we have a character flaw or that we are broken.\u00a0 <\/span>It doesn\u2019t mean we lack faith. Please value and accept your friends who suffer depression.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the signs of a clinical depression according to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) used in discerning clinical depression. <\/span><\/p>\n

These include:\u00a0 <\/span>Depressed mood, such as feeling sad, empty or tearful (in children and teens, depressed mood can appear as constant irritability)<\/span><\/p>\n

Significantly reduced interest or feeling no pleasure in all or most activities<\/span><\/p>\n

Significant weight loss when not dieting, weight gain, or decrease or increase in appetite (in children, failure to gain weight as expected)<\/span><\/p>\n

Insomnia or increased desire to sleep<\/span><\/p>\n

Either restlessness or slowed behavior that can be observed by others<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Fatigue or loss of energy<\/span><\/p>\n

Feelings of worthlessness, or excessive or inappropriate guilt<\/span><\/p>\n

Trouble making decisions, or trouble thinking or concentrating<\/span><\/p>\n

Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide, or a suicide attempt<\/span><\/p>\n

When these symptoms are present, interfering with your daily functioning for a minimum of two weeks you fit the criteria for clinical depression.<\/span><\/p>\n

Persistent feelings of helplessness and\/or hopelessness or worthlessness may be pervasive.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you recognize yourself in these descriptions, see your doctor or a professional therapist, who can help you begin the path of healing. This article may be helpful as you help your loved ones understand what your depression is.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you are sad or depressed here are some Bible Promises:<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you future and a hope.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew 11:28-30: “Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 34:18 and 19: “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.\u00a0 <\/span>A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.<\/span><\/p>\n
