I have been suffering intensely for 14 months... never a break from the depression/anxiety.. feel like I have fallen down a hole filled with mud at the bottom and I am stuck there as gases bubble to the surface releasing negative thoughts that consume me. Feels like hell.... although believe hell is just a metaphor for these feelings. I am ready to surrender the ego's grip on me.. the ego's wanting to have control of this. REady to surrender to a power higher than ego. Asking for prayers that the miracle of this release can happen. I can no longer take to live this way and just want gratitude and peace of mind back in my life. I am really to do anything that might help.

Skyhawk9,

I, too, have suffered from very long depressions - some lasting 4-5 months and others lasting 2 years or so. I have felt similar pain and even have believed that I was going to hell because of my sins even though I am a firm believer in God and the person and work of Jesus Christ. The only way that I ever came out of these "hell holes" was with the right anti-depressant medication. You didn't mention if you had a psych doc or RX. You have my sympathy and my empathy as I am going through depression now as they try to adjust my Cymbalta so that it doesn't cause mania as I am bipolar.

Whatever you do, be gentle with yourself and I do pray for a spiritual release for you to connect with a higher power and let go of the ego. But don't forget your brain might need to medical help even as your soul needs help.

God will show you the way if you call out to Him. He will show you the truth and the truth will set you free. I hope you get a miracle but it will be wonderful just to be set free incrementally as well as instantly. My prayer is that God blesses you and redeems you from the pit so you can have peace of mind and gratitude again. And that you get WHATEVER HELP you need.

May you find the peace and gratitude you are searching in your heart.
It happens with one breath in, open and one breath out, release.
This happens when we are close to letting ego go, know you are not alone, give yourself permission to come out of that hole.
