Remember that you are a child of our Amazing God.

I only know of a few Fellowships in your area but not personally. So, I would be cautious since I am not aware of their local reputation. Only that I have had positive reports. They may be able to recommend someone locally. Try the following........

Praying. All I can say when I was really depressed is I have some favourite verses that I read over and over again. Psalm 23 is one of them. I also took medication that I needed at the time. Jesus is there, even though it can seem as though he isn't. Catherine Marshall wrote a book about depression. I think it was called In my darkest hour.

Hi David,

I suffer with PTSD and depression and I know how warped my thoughts can get.

But know this Matt 28:20 Jesus says He will never leave you nor forsake you even to the ends of the earth.
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

Numbers 23:23
There is no omen against Jacob,
Nor is there any divination against Israel.

Even though you don’t feel close to God be assured God is close to you, and He will never lose you or forsake you.

What really helped me especially last December when I hit a very hard patch was to copy out the bible. Deuteronomy 17:18 the king was commanded to copy out the law so it was in his heart. It really helped me, it wasn’t magical and immediate but it’s something that occupies me and my mind. Have copied out word for word 20 books and 32 Psalms, letting God speak to me through His word centres me.

God has already heard your prayers be assured and He will answer them.

Know you are loved by Him.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hello, former

I suspect that you may be a veteran, like me. Because my disability is permanent and service-connected, the VA provides mw with a monthly grand and pays for all my medical care. They also have several apps that are free; I saw one for PTSD, but I have no opinion because I have not used it. But in attempting to use other stuff they have, I found some of their "help" heavily infused with Yoga-stuff and Buddhist-like "being present" . Therefore, be aware if you use them. They mean well, but are secular-minded people.

If you have an injury, or a chronic condition such as ALS please contact the PVA. The Paralyzed Veterans of America is a veterans' service organization in the United States of America, founded in 1946. I use the guy in Syracuse, and he is excellent.

Don't be ashamed of asking for help. We went to war, all of us gave something, others gave much, and some gave all. When you think of it, taking care of yourself during the time of crisis, is not being weak. Instead, it is taking care of the body God gave to you, honoring Christ in the process.

John T,

thank you so much for your advice here, I am from the UK and my PTSD was caused by child abuse, being brought up in the SDA church (see how Micheal is on the SDA forum, that’s exactly my parents) and 15 years of domestic abuse.

There are many apps that’s are quite frankly very strange, I am however on the waiting list for EMDR which has some success.

The SDA church views any form of mental illness as a sin and I am actively discriminated against for my PTSD.

But I do know I have a loving Father who accepts me as I am and I cannot lose my salvation because of my PTSD.

Thank you again, and for anyone else viewing this who has been a veteran and is affected this way please reach out for help.

I have Bipolar I. I take an antipsychotic as well. Praying for you. I am doing well by the Grace of God. The pills work for me and I am stable at this time

Hi David,

I suffer with PTSD and depression and I know how warped my thoughts can get.

But know this Matt 28:20 Jesus says He will never leave you nor forsake you even to the ends of the earth.
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

Surely, I am sympathetic to your situation, Former. But I am also curious about the causes for your rejection of the SDA church, and its systematic abuse of its adherents.

While never a part of the SDA church, first hand, I know if the abuse from an alcohol-dependent home, and could tell you of the horrors of too many "Martini Sundays. Upon his death, my father's physician informed me that his primary diagnosis was alcoholic encephalitis, and his secondary diagnosis was dementia. sThus, each of us abuse victims have our own private hell from which we need to recover.

I ask you because some off the SDA posters here, such as @ https://forums.carm.org/members/sdachristian.126/ drink so much of the SDA swill that they do not know what pure and non-defiled water is actually like. For that reason, I have pity on them remaining in the cult

Perhaps if you used that as part of your testimony to him, it may help him to walk away from Ellen.
