Depression

Depression
        Recently, I was asked to visit a person who, according to my source, was laying in bed for days at a time feeling depressed. Hopefully, the fact that I could do the same thing because of all my challenges, but I don't, would provide this person with the miracle healing they needed to get moving. I agreed, feeling in my heart that this person would need more than I could give, but visited any way.
        I was welcomed by an apparently 'normal' person. They spoke intelligently, seemed to maintain good personal hygiene, the apartment was clean and orderly. It was a comfortable visit with a 'nice guy'. As we discussed our lives and circumstances, there was one short statement that I heard many times; "I can't".
        Me: Have you tried this?
        Them: I can't because...
        Me: Have you considered that?
        Them: I can't because...
This person does have some physical challenges, but, has all the medical support at their disposal. They are receiving medications for their depression and pain. They are getting counseling. The only piece missing is an "I'll  try".
        With one small 'I'LL TRY', this person's world could start to change. All the positive sayings, slogans and people in the world will not make that change; it's up to each one of us to do it for ourselves. Depression, the blues, melancholy; all these can be improved by an 'I'll try'.
