Depression is serious. Take the time to care for yourself and to do what you need to do. I have recommended you to Saint Alphonsus Liguori who suffered episodes of depression. God bless you.

No worries, dear Hilary - take as long as you need to heal. You have given us plenty to ponder and wonder at. All we have to do is read what you've already given us! and that's a lot!

I’m lifting you up in prayer. God has given you the intelligence to see from afar the big picture of the battle between satan and Jesus and His Church. You have been given a gift to help others realize the war they are in, where the battle lines are drawn and most importantly a gift to shine the light of God’s beauty in such a way that it draws wandering souls back to Christ the King.

You are not alone in your depression. The prophets of old also sank into despair at times. Elijah fell into depression when Jezebel wanted to kill him. However, God was not finished with him. God is not finished with you. May our good sovereign Lord send you an angel of comfort to set a cake before you and command you to rest. May He also grant you the strength to run to your mountain and prepare you to hear His still small voice no matter the thunder or conflagrations that arise.

Blessings Always.
