LIFE SAVING, GOD SENT, AND LIFE CHANGING

This book is defintely a blessing to me and hopefully to many others. It has let me know I am no the only one depressed. It also let me see how and why and when depression comes on. I am a Full believer that I am a child of God but I still get depressed and can relate a lot to all the sisters stories in the book, especially Elaine and Ranee. I felt like something was wrong with me because I was having problems with depression as a christian. But I have learned that I am not exempted from this feeling. I now know how to deal with my depression. There are some things I am going to start to do now after reading this book. Like taking hot baths more,instead of showers. Listening to mealow music more. Meditating on good things. Of course praying more. Get a massage. Talk more openly to my therapist. It is good to know I am not alone in this state of mind.
