I must apologise for taking so long to get back to this thread.
If the information I have posted was useful, then you are most welcome and I am happy I posted it.
Lilao,
Depression is very powerful and can completely distort perception. I believe there are big rewards for those of us who work through it and find peace and clarity. That peace and clarity can become habitual and I think there is great advantage in taking that over into the next life.
Depression is, of course, linked to the fear that comes from not knowing who and what we truly are. Ideally, in overcoming its challenges we become more pure in consciousness and more strong in identity. Sadly, the challenge is great and can be compounded by physiological factors.
We can take some measures against depression such as constant exercise and a balanced diet. We can surround ourselves with people and things who help us feel positive and we can ensure we engage in activities that make us happy. Mostly, we must be kind to ourselves (with that kindness we often reserve for others). We must know that the values that we perceive in this world are not absolute and the judgements of others are often distorted.
This can be particularly difficult, I feel, for the evolved soul. I have noticed this in the teenagers I teach. There are those who are too kind, too good, too deep thinking for those around them and it intimidates others. Because the level of awareness of the evolved soul is high, they are sensitive to their impact and know they are being ostracised. Because they live in a human reality, they may not have developed the necessary confidence to value their own goodness, to hold their ground and to know that they are a light in this world.
There is no "sin" in depression. It is a state; a response. It passes. There is a course and that course is to endure with love and hope in tact. There are blessings too. You will find good people (as you've found in this thread) who want to help you. There is unseen help also, I am certain of it. Remember what you experience now will shape you and you may even be grateful for the lessons one day. Maybe you will help others along the way as well.
May love and happiness surround you.
