DEPRESSION!

Depression is such a BIG topic for us. There are thousands depressed people out there. In fact, Im sure at least one of our friends has this problem...DEPRESSION!

Depression can be happened because of stress, non happy life, wrong social life, etc...

Depression can make someone want to kill themselves and feel lonely. Besides that, it make someone to be a negative thinker!

Have you ever watched TO SAVE A LIFE? it's a movie that u must watch! we never know what happened to depression people. After I watched the movie, I feel like I need to make a move! not only me, but us! we need to show love in deeper way to people, especially for them who feel lonely, stress, etc... We never know what's going on in their life. Change them into a person who have hope and show them that they are not ALONE!

So, last week in chapel, the pastor college talked about depression! and i think its an important topic for all of us!

This is the summarize that I wrote from his sermon...

I think this message is not for only Northwest University students, but for all of us! This is why we need God in our life! Seek Him when you have problems! talk to someone who you can trust! (parents, best friend, sister, brother, cousins, pastor, etc....) and do not keep it by your self!

go with the right social life and change the way you think! (from negative to positive thinker)

God bless you :)
