Dear Catholic Exchange:
Thank you so much for writing this today. I needed to read this. I've been suffering with depression for the past month after having been free of it for awhile. It is a really deep, dark depression from a hormonal imbalance. I've been really angry at God for allowing me to suffer so much and I have actually been cursing His name (shame on me). I've been beseeching Him to help me because I was really at a very low point and couldn't take it much longer. I did figure out what was going on and how to help myself and then I read your article. It really helped me. The Holy Spirit must have been involved here.
I guess you never know when your words are going to impact someone.
Thanks again and God Bless you.
