“California Nights” and “Dead Man” by David Kushner are my top two songs right now. I’m really struggling with depression right now. I know I should lean on My Savior, but it’s so hard. I feel as if he’s not there, and I’m just screaming at empty space. What is my purpose here? Why? Why must there be sin? Whenever I think of the world ending, I freak out. What if I’m only telling myself I’m a Christian, and it’s not true? What if I end up in Hell for eternity? It scares me so much. When I was younger, my mom told me about how whoever is spending eternity with Christ is in the Book of Life. And that was written before time began. What if I’m not in that Book?

@agoofyChristiangirly I've been there. Actually, I'm kind of in a dark place, myself, although mine is more aching for Him to return quickly and put an end to my suffering. My brother used to have a similar kind of crisis to what you're going through right now, and one thing I always told him was that if he's worrying about it and thinking about it, he's probably good. If you don't care where you end up or what your status is as a Christian, that's when you might be in trouble. Depression is a pretty common problem during and after pregnancy, so if you're not seeing a counsellor or a psychiatrist right now, it wouldn't be a bad idea to look into one. I don't know if there are any meds that are safe for pregnant women, and I'm not saying you need meds or anything, but talking to someone who can help you get through this will make it a little easier. And if this is all related to the pregnancy, it's going to be temporary, so there's that. Hugs and prayers!
