please pray for me, im spiralling quickly and deeply into depression and i don't want to go down this road, but i feel too weak to fight it. i feel alone, unwanted, unlovable, untalented, uesless, pointless.

I know i have things to be thankful for but i cant see past this self loathing.

please please pray i get out of this or get some assurance of my value on this planet, because right now i feel like i have absolutely none
 
I wanted to let you (and others) know that my depression lifted with Vitamin D supplementation. Ask your doctor to check your 25OHD levels (0-20 is seriously abnormal; 21-31 is deficient; 32 is normal; between 40-100 is optimal according to my doctor). My Vitamin D level was 15. I had asked God for help with muscular symptoms (uncontrolled muscular jerking in upper arms, neck, and face called myoclonus, dystonia, and dyskinesia). I had begun taking magnesium after researching natural methods for combatting pre-diabetes, and after supplementing with 600mg per day in divided doses, my jerking cut in half in intensity and frequency. Thrilled with this unexpected result, I asked God, "What is going to make the rest of the jerking stop?" Immediately, a memory of sunbathing in Maine on a hot summer day flooded my mind. I googled "sun" (assuming it to be the answer) and found information online explaining that exposure to sunshine creates Vitamin D in the body. I took my first dose of Vitamin D (800i.u.) that evening, and the jerking stopped the next day! The Vitamin D caused a deep relaxation in my muscles that I had never felt before. A few months later in August, the jerking started again very mildly, but by mid-winter, it was horrendous. I upped my dose of Vitamin D (2000i.u.), and the jerking dramatically reduced. A few weeks later, I asked my doctor to check my Vitamin D levels, and while taking 2000i.u. daily, my Vitamin D levels were seriously abnormal (level 15). My doctor monitors my levels twice yearly now (53). Unfortunately, after 3 years of muscular peace, my muscles are once again jerking. Regardless, Vitamin D supplementation alleviated my depressive symptoms. Magnesium had an AMAZING calming effect on me as well (see mgwater.com for details). Your depression may be completely unrelated to Vitamin D, but I suggest your doctor runs the test as a precaution. If your doctor will not run the test, life extension has tests available online for purchase (reasonable price). They use a reputable lab. I found that proper diet and nutrition, exercise, and sleep play a DEFINITE role in my health (body and mind). I will pray for you, and something good will happen!
 
JFSD The bible is there to save us,to teach us how to live in this world of problems and sin.Jcwalker3usa is right to quote scripture.Trust the bible trust Jesus.Pray to God for help and God will send you The Holy Spirit.Idea's,support from people,internet help spiritual strength.Remember Jesus taught us not to worry(easier said than done) but trust Jesus/God.Send all your problems to God and trust him,pray for strength,happiness,wisdom,ask God to enable you to see what exactly depresses you.Perhaps you could think of the things that make you happy your hobbies etc.Treat yourself,watch some comedy on TV,visit some friends.Look at the suffering of the starving and ill which might make you realise and appreciate the good things you have.Junk food causes unhappiness,healthy food lifts our spirit fruit and veg etc.I hope you get closer to God,it is vital that a christian has hope and faith.Trust Jesus, the power of God works,but its not a always a quick fix,it sometimes takes time.

Romans 12:12 "Rejoicing in hope,patient in tribulation,continuing steadfastly in prayer".
 
I'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU BROTHER, BUT YOU NEED TO BE DOING THINGS YOURSELF TO GET HEALTHY AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU LIKE, BUT START THERE. DO THINGS THAT YOU ENJOY AND SURROUND YOURSELF WITH MEN THAT WILL HELP YOU AS WELL. EAT HEALTHY AND STAY AWAY FOR NOW FROM ANY SUGARS AND SWEET. EXERCIZE AND DON'T STAY INSIDE ALL DAY IF POSSIBLE. MEDICATION MIGHT BE HELPFUL, BUT IF YOU DON'T NEED IT, STAY AWAY FROM IT. GREAT MEN IN THE BIBLE WERE DEPRESSED AND YOU CAN READ ABOUT THEIR STORIES. GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH AND HE LOVES YOU MORE THEN YOU'LL EVER KNOW. I HOPE THAT YOU DON'T USE DRUGS OR ALCOHOL TO NUMB YOUR PAIN, BECAUSE THAT'S THE WORLDS WAY OF DEALING WITH IT. ALLOW OTHERS TO HELP AND PLEASE BE OPEN TO THEIR SUGGESTIONS. GOS BLESS AND I'LL BE PRAYING DAILY BROTHER

Thanks so much for all your replies and prayers. I posted this last night before bed and this morning I woke up feeling much lighter, so before I came on here I knew people had prayed for me. The advise is really encouraging and powerful, thank you. I took a long walk today because for the first time in months it was sunny and warm out and it really lifted me up to be in the sunshine. I always overthink things like intellectual issues, questions, and the things people say, my constant over-thinking often leads me to a dark doubtful place, but now I feel like it's time to stop dwelling on things and start reading my bible more often. This dark plunge came right after a huge spiritual breakthrough and now it seems obvious to me that the enemy was desperately using his best ammunition to take me down and keep me self centred. The comments about sugar really hit me too. After taking a year off I went back to uni this year, and adjusting to constant tests and early mornings, I've started drinking caffeinated energy drinks very regularly, which was a bad idea because I've been hooked on them before. I realize I'm hooked again because if I go a day without drinking one, I get drowsy and very headachey. I've also been so weak and fatigued lately, probably as a result. I feel like the cloud has lifted and I can see my problems clearly now. I've decided to stop drinking this stuff immediately and walk places more often, read my bible daily and submit my mind to God. Thanks so much, I'm sure your prayers are responsible. I have peace today for the first time in what seems like years. Thanks to God for not only being ever patient and unconditionally loving, but for never failing to send me support or signs when I need them.

Why does everyone think I’m so boring and ugly. I feel as though no one cares for me I try and try but I’m always alone. Alone in relationships alone in fighting my battles. I’m just sad I know God is with me and I love that he is but sometimes we want people down here to show us we matter too...
