That’s why it is so important that you be open to others, which you are – seems so many more people than we realize have issues with depression and to so many degrees. You can’t be a champion without going through all you go through and staying on top! Keep up the good work – one would never know you have issues with depression by looking at that great smile!

I’m right there with you, Darius. You are not alone. Many Christian “heroes” faced regular depression. Continue to walk in who God called you to be – His identity.

I get more than sad.I can’t only just get over it. My faith is not lost. And i need the right community.
I can’t believe that I get depressed even though I have a beautiful family and Christ in my life
