I'm so sorry you have trouble with that Fembot. Of course I'll pray for your courage and that your depression will be taken away...forever!
I just saw something that may make you feel better. In the past you said you see numbers. My numbers are 1 & 4. As I was about to post this I noticed that you posted yours at 4:14.
It's a good sign. Smile sweetie...God loves you.

Dear sister~
In the Bible there is the story about David and his men, who had been away for thier home fighting the enemies of Israel. They came home weary from battle~ and what did they find? All thier possesions of value, thier women and children had been taken by another enemy while they were gone. :o The men who followed David to battle became so depressed and angry with him that they threatened to stone him to death... but David did somethingy that turned the whole situation back round again.
What did David do? let's leave a it mystery~ for now.
But first~ let's look at the most desparetly sad man in all the world...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:heart
If there is one place where our Lord Jesus most fully becomes the joy and comfort of His people, and it is where He plunged deepest into the depths of despair.
Come close then, weary souls, and behold the Man in the garden of Gethsemane~ behold His heart so brimming with love that He cannot hold it inâ€â€so full of sorrow that it must find a way out of Him and the bloody sweat seeped down His face, and fell on the ground. Behold the Man as they drove the nails into His hands and feet. Look up, and see the anguished image of your suffering Lord.
Mark Him, as His ruby drops of blood wind round His thorny crown, and adorn His brow with priceless gems of our King of Misery. Behold the Man when all His bones are out of joint, and He is poured out like water and brought to the dust of death. Even God the Father forsook Him, and hell surrounded Him. Behold and see, was there ever sorrow like this in all the miseries of this world?
All who pass by draw near and look on this spectacle of grief, unique, unparalleled, a wonder to men and angels, a phenomenon unmatched. Behold the Emperor of Woe who has no equal or rival in His agonies! Gaze on Him, you who weep, for if there be no consolation in a crucified Christ there is no joy in earth or heaven~ without in the ransom price of His blood there is no hope, no hope of heaven, no joy in you, and the right hand of God will not know pleasures ~ forevermore. :heart
We only need to sit more frequently at the foot of His cross to be always less troubled with our doubts and depressions. We only have to see His sorrows, and our sorrows we will be ashamed to mention; let us gaze into His wounds and find healing for our own. If we would live rightly~ it must be by the reflection of His death~~~ if we desire to rise in dignity, it must be by considering His humiliation and His great sorrow.
"But we are not Chirst, some may say, of course He could take the abuse."
But what DID David do?
He commanded his heart to BE ENCOURAGED~ Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. Psalm 42:11
Lord~ I pray our precious Fembot will be strenthened in Your word~ and that You will teach her to put courage into her heart when it is sad, to assure herself of Your wonderful faithfulness, and Your intense understanding of her feelings. Help her to lift up her eyes to the cross, and be filled with hope, for she has been given eyes that can see beyond it~ to the new life of Jesus' resurrection!

Our strength, when tested, will always fall short. It is not our own strength we can rely on, but the strength and power of God Almighty. As the old song says, "We are weak, but He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me." His power is made perfect in our weakness (forgot the verse reference) so that when we are weak we can rely on God's perfect power to strengthen us.
I am praying for the Lord to lift your depression and grant you the freedom to live abundantly in Him.
