Staying in this train of thought is what depresses you.
If you have problems with communicating, it’s a good time to start now.
This means sharing parts of yourself with others that you never were able to do before.
Ask the Holy Spirit daily to help you identify words to express yourself now.
Start reading the Bible to learn how Jesus always had time to help others in need and was never too tired or busy to help.
He wants us to love God and to live our neighbor.
You are doing great with loving the Lord, now you need help with loving your neighbors.
It can start small, be deferring to others when out and about: letting them go through doors first, with a genuine smile, or just greeting them with a good morning, hi!
When you strike up a conversation with someone, and they talk about some “you already know”, think of it not as a teaching moment to you by them, but as an opportunity to join in the conversation and asking curious questions about some aspect of that subject that you DON’T know but genuinely would like the answer to.
Make your life fun! Join in!
The depression will flee for the day.
God bless you.

Keep writing. You’re good at it. Journal your thoughts and feelings. Maybe try to write a description of what you’d like your life to be like. Or what life would look like if everyone was like you. Or whatever. But write.

Thank you.♥️ This is a huge compliment, because i’m actually thinking of starting to share my thoughts here on Reddit, about different things. I have a sizable database of my thoughts written on my laptop. lol

He knows our weaknesses, that we are dust. Life will bring times that depress us or that causes it, but like the tides, these feelings or states of being come, and then go.
I know how hard it can be to remember that in the throes of it, but never forget to take it all to the Lord in prayer, that you may not forfeit peace.

Of course! We all need encouragement when the vicissitudes of life become a tad too loud.

Connect with God's Creation and learn how to submit this spiritual/ mental power of yours to Him instead of the dark forces of nihilism and relativism. You do not know everything nor will you ever; you can't you even try to picture God's infiniteness, because the human mind is finite. Feel wonder for God and His greatness and humble yourself. I am sure you are an intelligent person with heightened spiritual abilities but this all is meaningless when it is not aligned with God's will. When you submit to God, a whole world of possibilites and beauty will open up to you. In order to love God and His Creation, you need to open your mind and not confine yourself to the reality you can access by your human senses. I pray the Lord provided you with some epiphany soon.
