Depression

 I'm facing a bout of depression lately. It's been going on for about a week now. I only hope I will be able to get over this and move on with life. Depression isn't fun. It's the day in day out of feeling worthless, useless, hopeless. And a majority of other things. I wish I knew how to just kick it, but I don't. I only know how to do my best and push through it. Use my tools I have ready and go forth with that. I'd rather not talk about what brought me down into this depressive state. It's not something I am comfortable with. So, I won't be touching on it.

If I had the ability, I would just fix my mental health and not visit depression ever again. But I don't think it's that easy. But a guy can dream, can't he? Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Just hoping for a better life is all I can do. I can work my way through all of it and just hope for the best.

This life isn't easy. Nothing is ever easy when it comes to life. That's just how the tic tac tumbles. (Or whatever phrase you prefer of course.) So many things I wish for. Yet I cannot do anything about it. Not now at least. For now, I can only focus on that which plagues me at the current moment.

Be well.

Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
