Depression is Real. 
Depression hurts. Depression is not easily explained but is deeply felt. Depression is not someone wanting attention. Depression turns goodness upside down. Depression dispels joy and robs of laughter. Depression is more than being blue. Depression is not my fault. How can I pull myself up by my bootstraps when I can't even reach UP to my bootstraps? When all I see is darkness, how do I turn around and head down the correct path? Your words are arrows in my heart! They are the fiery darts of the enemy. You have taken depression's quiver, and arrow by arrow, you rip pieces of my heart and drop my soul to the ground. Sometimes these arrows are fired from the pulpit of a well-meaning pastor, but immature. She only wants attention. He needs to be a man and get up. She is weak. God is not the author of confusion.
