Concern and love

I continue to be humbled by God’s grace in His comfort and care shown by the people around me. Thank you to those who have continued to ask after me especially after reading this blog.

I have to be honest – at times I do wonder whether it’s a better idea to just remove these posts so I don’t publicise this. Depression is an oft-misunderstood disease and I do sometimes fear what others will think of me. But I feel that as a Christian, life isn’t always easy, and sometimes through no fault of your own. And this is part of the Christian walk – clinging on to God and trying to pray even when you don’t feel at all.

But nonetheless, thank you to those few who do read this blog and have kept yourselves quietly concerned with my condition. I am now on medication after seeing a psychiatrist at SGH. The condition is definitely improving, but it’s really too early to tell. The medication usually only really helps matters 6 to 8 weeks into the course. Also, the doctor did mention it’ll be at least a few months of medication.

Please pray for minimal side effects, and for me to recover. Please pray for healing for the both of us as well – depression not only affects the sufferer, but those around him or her.

Thanks again and God bless!
