Fear and Hopelessness often join hands, especially in chemical induced afflictions like bi-polar and depression. This the result of the breakdown of roles that each member of a family unit is supposed to provide. If these roles are not demonstrated appropriately, we experience the innate fear of the pain caused by neglected needs, and remain hopeless, that these needs will ever be met. Take a look at the roles needed from each person of the family unit and ask yourself where you might have insecurities as a result of neglected childhood needs.

One cognitively intentional way of overcoming depression is to begin to accept yourself. There are a variety of milestones in doing such work, but a good place to start is to release yourself from expectations that you may have adopted from others that might actually be unrealistic. Several things can make expectations unrealistic, but common factors are time, resources, and desires. One great advantage of having a relationship with the Holy Spirit is that you don’t have to play a guessing game as to what expectations might be dragging you down. The Holy Spirit is a light that can expose beliefs that don’t belong in your inner world. Ask Holy Spirit to show you what expectations need to go, forgive the person for putting it there, and then forgive yourself for trying to chase something unrealistic.

Many of us are walking around with false guilt. In other words, guilt that was placed onto us. When a caretaker/parent is frustrated with their perceived inadequacy as a parent, they project their feelings of irritability, anger and frustration onto their child, thus causing the child to rationalize that they must be the problem. We grow up using this fear as a defense mechanism, justifying most problems as our own fault, because it feels safer to take responsibility, and just fix the perceived problem ourselves. This causes overthinking, overcommitment, and becoming overly responsible.

In relation to depression (see previous post), Shame can be one major contributor to internal conflict. Many times Shame is a wound caused by many failed attempts to try and receive encouragement from a caretaker in one’s adolescent years.

Depression is known as a silent killer. As human beings, we are designed for deep connection. However, troubles from our past can make us resistant to the very things we are designed for. The tragic irony is that holding on to the misconception that isolation keeps us safe, is the very thing that kills us. That inner conflict isn’t going to resolve itself with introspection, it needs the added power of companionship and camaraderie.
