Anxiety and Depression


I went to this evening
there were a lot of people
but not in the first rows


our speaker


a slide with some coping strategies



she talked about people that struggle with depression 
are often behaving as if they are in a bubble


Even if they are in a beautiful area


they are still in their bubble and only see grey around them
that was helpful

Most people know this scripture from Philippians 4:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

But earlier the writer says:
 28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety.

apparently the writer knows what anxiety is,
and that puts the verse in chapter 4 in another perspective
