I'm very prone to anxiety and fear myself but so far I've managed to deal with them without the need for outside help.<br /><br />What we need is walk-in centres in every High Street where we can confess to such hang-ups and get them dealt with quickly, before they become so serious we feel life isn't worth living any more.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-38158162562917627422011-11-29T22:46:51.782+00:002011-11-29T22:46:51.782+00:00I take a happy pill, too, Liz.

My late husband killed himself because of depression and my 2nd daughter has Bipolar 2. *sigh* I guess inherited from all sides. Poor girl, but she keeps on keeping on, although there was a time...I believe God created people who are bright enough to become doctors and scientists and so He has a hand in all the discoveries to help us.

Christians do get anxious and depressed and vacuous sloganeering, like "claim the victory" doesn't help.<br /><br />I am glad you found what does and hope others will be encouraged to introduce a large helping of Christin common-sense into their struggles and seek the help they need. God gave us prayer and he also gave us doctors, friends, counsellors and a host of resources we should call on when needed.<br /><br />The stigma attatched to this subject in the church and in the wider world must be eradicated and descent, lovely people who suffer must be helped and encouraged.Mike Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505904110015305223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-73970352702550990462011-11-29T14:11:49.708+00:002011-11-29T14:11:49.708+00:00So well stated adn well described, Liz.

Many times I've told her it might be due to a chemical imbalance. Maybe it will finally get her in to see a doctor. I hope so. Thank you so much for sharing...it was so honest!

They were one of the biggest bands on the planet, wealth, fame and glory. But to put it bluntly - he drank himself to death. He was a year or so older than me, he had all I wanted but at that moment I knew he and I were more linked than anything I knew I'd probably do the same thing... Still took 13 years more before I finally gave in.<br /><br />The one thing you cling to when there are things like this with celebrities (Amy Winehouse, Gary Speed, Justin Fashnu) is that others suffering in silence see how it can affect anyone from any walk of life and they reach out for help.<br /><br />Inspirational post - thanksFurtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.com
