I suppose some of you may be wondering why I haven't been on.. Honestly, I've been having relapses with my major depression (I know fun right?), been talking with my counsler and my boyfriends, and been doing a lot of thinking. And the other day while listening to some music I had an disturbing thought..my thought was 'I think I'm ready' but really who am I kidding? I'm not ready yet, I'm still "sinning" I still have questions..I'm still at square one. I was given advice by a friend, but in all respects I am having trouble taking the advice given..

Sorry to hear that. Focus on happier thoughts! There's so much to be thankful and happy for.
This article might help. I know you said it is major depression. However, food does affect your mood:

I assume I know what you mean by being "ready", but I'd like to hear you say it. So, you're at square-one, but if you're facing the right direction, that's a good thing. What advice were you given by your friend, if you don't mind saying?

Depression is a major artery that runs in my family, not just a vein. I know its different for each individual, but I can relate in some way to your feelings.
In an effort to no put you in a box, I am curious to understand exactly what it is your thought of "I think I'm ready" is all about, and why sinning and questions are holding you back from doing what ever it is that you are thinking about doing?
@Fembot: I've heard about that, only differance is that I was told chocolate is like a antidepressant. Tried it and hadn't really noticed much. @Mike: The advice given was to read certain books in the bibie (forgot what they were) and to talk and ask god. @Nick: The thought was basically ready to give god a chance. What's holding me back is I can't change the way I am, I'm so used to my lifestyle that I can't just change it, it's scary and everything to change. I honestly don't think I can handle it nor am actually ready.. That's why that thought disturbed me..
