Through the Darkness: A Devotional for the Depressed Soul

Depression is heavy. Although the darkness that depression casts can hold you hostage, it can be pierced by your willpower; keep trying and keep fighting. It is not a fairytale journey. Oftentimes, you may lose yourself and then struggle to figure out a way back. I have curled up in a corner of my cave and surrendered to the darkness more times than I can count. Screaming out loud or sobbing into my pillow was my cathartic release. Suicidal thoughts became my comforting escape, but eventually, I made it through the darkness.
It’s time to find what works for you.
