COMFORT FOR THE DEPRESSED
“All creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now.” (Romans 8:22) Human suffering was great when that was written over 1,900 years ago. Many were depressed. Therefore, Christians were urged: “Speak consolingly to the depressed souls.”—1 Thessalonians 5:14.
Today, human distress is even greater, and more people than ever are depressed. But should that surprise us? Not really, for the Bible identifies these as “the last days” and calls them “critical times hard to deal with.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5) Jesus Christ foretold that during the last days, there would be “fearful sights.”—Luke 21:7-11; Matthew 24:3-14.
When people experience prolonged anxiety, fear, grief, or other such negative emotions, they often become depressed. The cause of depression or extreme sadness may be the death of a loved one, a divorce, the loss of a job, or an unrelenting sickness. People also become depressed when they develop a sense of worthlessness, when they feel they are a failure and have let everyone down. Anyone may be devastated by a stressful situation, but when a person develops a sense of hopelessness and is unable to see any way out of a bad situation, severe depression may result.
People in ancient times experienced similar feelings. Job suffered sickness and personal misfortune. He felt that God had abandoned him, so he expressed a loathing toward life. (Job 10:1; 29:2, 4, 5) Jacob was depressed over the apparent death of his son, refusing to be comforted and wishing to die. (Genesis 37:33-35) Feeling guilt over serious error, King David lamented: “All day long I have walked about sad. I have grown numb.”—Psalm 38:6, 8; 2 Corinthians 7:5, 6.
Today, many have become depressed because of overtaxing themselves, trying to follow a daily routine that is beyond their mental, emotional, and physical resources. Apparently stress, coupled with negative thoughts and emotions, can affect the body and contribute to a chemical imbalance in the brain, thus producing depression.—Compare Proverbs 14:30.
Help That They Need
Epaphroditus, a first-century Christian from Philippi, became “depressed because [his friends] heard he had fallen sick.” Epaphroditus, who had become sick after being sent to Rome by his friends with provisions for the apostle Paul, perhaps felt he had let his friends down and that they considered him a failure. (Philippians 2:25-27; 4:18) How did the apostle Paul help?
He sent Epaphroditus home with a letter to the Philippian friends that said: “Give [Epaphroditus] the customary welcome in the Lord with all joy; and keep holding men of that sort dear.” (Philippians 2:28-30) The fact that Paul spoke so highly of him and that the Philippians welcomed him with warmth and affection, surely must have consoled Epaphroditus and helped toward relieving his depression.
Without a doubt, the Bible’s advice to “speak consolingly to the depressed souls” is the very best. “You need to know that others care about you as a person,” said a woman who suffered from depression. “You need to hear someone say, ‘I understand; you’ll be all right.’”
The person who is depressed often needs to take the initiative by seeking out an empathetic person in whom to confide. This one should be a good listener and be very patient. He or she should avoid lecturing the depressed one or making judgmental statements, such as, ‘You shouldn’t feel like that’ or, ‘That’s the wrong attitude.’ The depressed person’s emotions are fragile, and such critical comments will only make him feel worse about himself.
One who is depressed may feel worthless. (Jonah 4:3) Yet, a person should remember that what really counts is how God values one. Men held Jesus Christ “as of no account,” but this did not change his real worth to God. (Isaiah 53:3) Be assured, just as God loves his dear Son, he loves you too.—John 3:16.
Jesus pitied those in distress and tried to help them see their individual worth. (Matthew 9:36; 11:28-30; 14:14) He explained that God values even small, insignificant sparrows. “Not one of them goes forgotten before God,” he said. How much more does he value humans who try to do his will! Of these Jesus said: “Even the hairs of your heads are all numbered.”—Luke 12:6, 7.
True, it may be hard for a person who is severely depressed, who is overwhelmed with his weaknesses and shortcomings, to believe that God so highly values him. He may feel certain that he is unworthy of God’s love and care. “Our hearts may condemn us,” God’s Word acknowledges. But is that the determining factor? No it is not. God realizes that sinful humans may think negatively and even condemn themselves. So his Word comforts them: “God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.”—1 John 3:19, 20.
Yes, our loving heavenly Father sees more than our sins and mistakes. He knows of extenuating circumstances, our whole life course, our motives and intentions. He knows that we inh

basically, ive endured a very difficult, traumatic unfortunate life so far, im nearly 31 and physically look everyone of those years and older, the stress of my life has taken a toll and aged me prematurely..
my life has been unenviable so far meaning; not many people would wish to have walked in my shoes at all or be in my situation.
i failed at secondary school, suffered taunts, bullying ( throughout ), never mixed well , went through 3 secondary schools and ended up dropping out..
im now nearly 31 and have missed out on ; forming relationships – getting an education , getting qualifications ; living my life , being employed – i have a criminal record going 7 years back – been sectioned in a mental hospital -
suffered head injuries in a street attack because i lost control of rage in 1997 , had my head split open with a chair leg – suffered homelessness in salvation army for 12 months..
my life has been a living nightmare so far.
in the present i live in a one bed-roomed flat on disability, own very few possessions, the main 1 my computer, – reliant on mental health services – their offering me occupational therapy to integrate me back into society , ive been alienated and reclusive half my adult life – missed out on everything.
i was diagnosed with bpd personality disorder 2 years ago & ptsd symptoms – had a big problem with rage outbursts years ago , managed it well for years..
asked for psychotherapy but the resources for it are not available in my area
i worry alot and for a while what people are thinking about me , the opinions they hold and the perceptions their giving to others , because might determine where people like and accept me or not ?
-i have become very bitter , angry , reclusive , reserved aloof – even though i dont want to be like that.
- have aged badly , not happy with my looks , im bald , looking into hair loss solutions, have 2 missing teeth because of an accident years ago -( head butted a window )
- people in my local community are cold , aloof , standoffish , my mum said maybe its because their ‘ wary ‘ because of my rage problems in the past and my aloof attitude ive had for all my life to society.
- some people treat me i feel as a charity case, a pitiful figure , a person to rally around and feel sorry for, or as a spring board to feel better about their own lives, women patronizee me talk down to me , demean me on samaritans helplines like im some old geriatric person dying who needs comfort and help..
im scared people might think things or percieve like ‘ hes a disturbed loner ‘ ‘ a desperate broken needy man ‘ ‘ somebody disturbed not to associate with ‘ etc
i dont know for a fact that people percieve this only that they might do based on how i feel society acts towards me.
people in society, in supermarkets give me funny lingering looks , are aloof , stand- offish with me – are abrupt with me , patronize and demean me with words , being condescended etc.
i worry theres a stereotype about me , that im too known to people or peope are over familiar with me and think they no me , so then they try to give a perception to me to others ?
how do i handle that ?

I recently met a couple of 40 something, highly attractive women, both of whose adult sons (19 and 24 respectively) were losing their hair to some degree. I was interested to find out what women in this position thought- were you upset on your sons’ behalfs, did you discuss it with them, and did you feel it unusual that what is usually a sign of ageing occurring in their own sons while they themselves retained their looks at nearly 50. Let me know
