Claudia Andrea
Depression is killing my family


I'm writing from Iquique, Chile. The thing is, while I was searching for websites I have found this, it's better to say, God shows me this page.

Well, the trouble is, as maybe you have seen on the bottom, my sister Claudia (17 years old), is in this moment suffering a strong depression. Sometimes she very happy and hopefull, but it seems to be a switch changing, because in the following second she is sad and all that she wants is to be alone, donīt wanna talk, donīt wanna anything. Unfortunely, this illness started on 1999, when she tried to suicide, from this moment until now all the family is fighting with her illness. We know that the only specialist in this, is our Lord Jesus, but we canīt denied that her will would provide her the freedom that she needs. Meanwhile, we are praying for her, we can't pray with her, couse she sleeps all the day and goes out in the night until morning. We canīt stop she is very agressive and that agressivity affects my mom. Thatīs why we are asking you to pray with us for her. I know there is some other and bigger troubles, but I think there isnīt anything more sorrowful than a family in breaking.

Marcela,
I pray that God will provide what is needed in Claudia's life. I have had serious bouts with depression in the past, so I know what it is like. Perhaps Claudia may need medication -- if that is the cae, I pray that God will give your family the wisdom and means to help her get the medical help she needs. But you are right, the ultimate healer is Jesus Christ, and He is the one Who will give here peace, strength, and salvation.

I pray for Claudia's needs that they will be met, and I pray for your family and you, Marcela, that you all will be given the wisdom, strength, and encouragement that God so richly provides. In Jesus' name. Amen!

I am one of the many people who suffer from depression, I suffer from chronic depression, and I feel your pain. I know the pain I have inflicted on my friends and family, I also feel the pain that your sister has. I am praying for you and your family, let Jesus take it away.

I pray for Claudia's health, peace, comfort, and joy. May the Lord God bless your family with healed hearts and smiles on your faces. Depression is an illness, not a choice. Claudia is lucky to have a family who loves and supports her, even though she cannot show that to you sometimes. God has plans for us all, and I pray that your sister, you, and your family see the light of the Lord, for he is always shining it upon us.

i am praying for your sister and the rest of the family to have a special healing from God.i have severe depression and spent many years suicidal.i thought it was normal to feel that way. it is a family disease. my cousin killed himself eight years ago. i could have easily been there too. i know people prayed for me. i started seeking help thru doctors. it was a hard road. sometimes it gets worse before it gets better.i became an alchoholic and there too i received help in meetings. my spiritual life was a shambles. a few other paths i have traveled, but thru it all, the lord was directing my way. i need meds, but they only help chemical imbalances.but she must do whatever it takes to get better. it is a misunderstood illness. most victims don't seek help. they are too, well, depressed.
father, help this family get the help they need. and let them be a light to others. in Jesus' name i pray, amen.

Marcela,
I understand, every member of my family has depression. I went through a tough time where i was in and out of mental hospitals, i was on many different medications, my anger was out of controll, the police were called several times. I got a ticket for smoking a ciggarette as a minor, the ticket was for 200 dollars. I also have spent 3 nights in juvinile detention because of assult to my mother. The amazing thing is, is that im 14 years old. I had many people praying for me in church, my family, and people in heaven. I soon got better, and barley have any problems anymore. I pray for you and claudia and the rest of your family...god bless you, never forget hes allways with you and carrying you in your time of trial!

Marcela:
many months have passed since you requested prayers, but I read it today and decided to pray for you and your family. The battle with depression is a very serious matter. I myself dealt with it in the past. What worked for me was prayer, physical exercise and natural medicine. I tried Saint Johns Wort and also Kava-Kava. These medicines work as anti-depressant and do not give secondary effect. It is better to take either one or the other, not both. For me, one pill was enough for the day. These pills cannot be combined with any prescribed drugs. I tried prescribed drugs, but made me feel as a zombie, sleeping and without concentrating, but thanks God I had the idea of substituing it for natural remedies. I hope that Claudia will be doing good and tell her God loves her and so do us. She has to make an effort to get up and be active, specially do exercises, that really worked for me. Whenever you do physical exercise, your body produces endorphines which is a hormone that give you energy and fights naturally all depression. Also Claudia needs to take vitamin of the B complex. They fight stress and depression. May the Lord be with you and your family. Victoria.

God of life, hear all these prayers for Claude. Help her family to love her but not anxiety to her stress. Help Claude to find the healing she needs from the past so that she can receive the present, and help her to own her anger and name it without taking on herself. Set her free, to know your joy Jesus, in your name we ask. Amen
