Preliminary Thoughts
I’ve been praying for you

I hope this will be clarifying BUT not exhaustive - provide you with answers and the RIGHT questions to ask
You see the hope you can have in Christ

1. How to be sad
There seems to be 3 stages of depression
Mild - the regular feelings of sadness we all will face but dealt with biblically and don’t linger long
Moderate - this is when feelings of sadness are not initially dealt with biblically. Feelings begin to triumph over truth and you begin to distance yourself from God
Severe - this is the point at which you feel completely hopeless and trapped in feelings of sorrow and totally separated from God.
*I’m not reffering to the feelings of depression that are brought about by physilogical reasons. Obvioulsy, things like alzheimers, cancer, hormonal shifts after giving birth are known to bring about feelings of sadness. These are the minority of cases when it comes to depression.
