Christin Dicker. Na 08.
The year and a half leading up to Na 08 was one of the hardest times of my life. In October 2006, two months after returning from a foreign Missions trip, I went through a time when I felt very depressed. I had been on a spiritual high for two months, then I hit rock bottom for 10 days before I began to build up again spiritually. Nevertheless, I still experienced times where I felt depressed.
At Na 08, during C.J.’s Sunday night message I felt he was speaking straight to me. He mentioned how many times when we feel depressed we have been listening to ourselves instead of talking to ourselves. I realized that I had been listening to myself and I needed to start talking to myself when I start feeling depressed.
Well, it has been six months and I do not get depressed as easily anymore. When I start to feel depressed, I start talking to myself about all that God has done for me, and the depression starts to go away! At times, I do not realize right away that I am listening to myself but as soon as I do, I start talking to myself. Sometimes I have to talk to myself more than other times, but I always I do not feel depressed anymore.

YES! “talk to yourself” was so helpful.
