I Experience Depression

 I have depression. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. What's worse is I have psychotic depression. Major Depression Disorder with Psychotic symptoms. You can Google it to see what it's all about. There's a nice Wikipedia page that lays it all out for you. I know what you're thinking, Wikipedia can't be trusted. Well, it can, and it can't. Anyways, take a look.

My hallucinations appear in the form of voices. Sometimes they call my name. Other times they beat me down till my mental state is so abused I don't know which way is up anymore. I'd like to say you get used to it, but you really don't. When they come, they come swinging. There's a female voice, and two males that tend to plague me. I wish they would just want to talk to me instead of what they do, but it's whatever.

I'd call this illness a curse. Maybe something I did in a past life to deserve it. I don't know. If it is something I did in a past life, then I deserve it.

At times I think people are talking about me. Planning my demise or some other nonsense. That logically I know isn't true, but deep down inside I believe it to be true. So, it's a battle between my logical brain and my emotional brain at times. It sucks. I hate it. I never know which side to believe half of the time. So, I just try my best and live life when that happens. Sometimes it's so crippling that I don't leave my room.

When the depression hits, I just want to curl up into a little ball in a corner and sob. Somedays it's not that bad and I can fake a smile and go on about my day. People don't know I have depression, and I manage to just fake it that I don't. Even though I do. There are days I don't even want to leave the house. It can get that bad.

Right now, I'm in-between all of that. I feel lost. Hopeless. Not sure of myself or what to do. I hate it. But it's life and life means something to me. At least it did. I need to find that meaning again. Having this lost feeling is not a good feeling to have. I was almost in tears the other day because I just don't know what to do.

So that's life in a nutshell for now. It's not glamorous or anything of the sort. It's just life. My life.

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?
