For a very long time, I have struggled with emotional sadness from time to time. Doctors have told me that I have mild depression. I’m not 100% sure any more if they are correct. I am on medication to help me with this, and I’ve seen what happens if I go off of it. Not pretty… However, I still have days when I’m overwhelmed with emotional sadness regardless of the meds. I’m starting to look at the spiritual battle as a possible reason for these days. The reason for this is that when I am down, I feel pushed down. I feel the weight of my failings and flaws. I also seem to be able to climb out of the emotional sadness hole by speaking (or reading) spiritual truth.
