I think you\u2019ll discover that, although my situation might be different from yours, you may have experienced similar emotions and thoughts. Emotions and thoughts that might be destroying your very life and that of your family. I have gone through extensive treatment for depression and have been diagnosed with bi-polar, chemical imbalance, manic depression, and seizure disorder, along with being treated for repeated suicide attempts. Since my last suicide attempt April 6, 1998, God has guided me through depression and the things He taught me are written in this book. See how God changed a man who only wanted to end his life to the man that looks forward each day to see what God has planned for him.<\/p>\n<p>Available on Amazon in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0CT6X1NRC\/\">Paperback and Kindle<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-6-0-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_video\" data-index=\"2\" ><div style=\"width:100%;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-6-1\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/youtube\" src=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JkDlG-u5A0w?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JkDlG-u5A0w\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/JkDlG-u5A0w<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-6-0-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_pw_featured_page widget-featured-page panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" >\n\n\t<div class=\"page-box  page-box--block\">\n\t\t<a class=\"page-box__picture\" href=\"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/heaven\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/HeavenClouds-360x240.jpg\" class=\"attachment-pw-page-box size-pw-page-box wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<div class=\"page-box__content\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"page-box__title  text-uppercase\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/heaven\/\">Heaven - We Need to Be Homesick<\/a><\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>My wife and I took a mission trip to an orphanage in Mexico.
