What is Love When You Are Depressed?

Mary • Hi! I`m Mary. I have a BA in Psychology. Been dealing with PCOS for 22 years. I work at Sander’s Candy and Ice Cream Shop and trying to get my head around this COVID craziness!

What is love? Love is someone who will hear you when you are cranky, sad, confused, and suicidal. Love is the person to drags your sorry ass into the car and to the psych ward and doesn't care if you hate their guts for doing it. Love is the person who hides the sharp objects, firearms, ropes, and anything that you could use to harm yourself with. Love is that person who throws out the blades. 

Love is the annoying therapist that tells you to change even as you're reluctant to do so. Love is the doctor who tries a different medication when they realize that the other stuff doesn't work. Love is understanding, compassion, patience, selflessness, a mother who cares, a father who supports, a friend who stays, never sways or sways and comes back, and a passion that burns and wails in the site of neglect, injustice, and everything evil and wrong. Love cares for ill but does not cater to the whims of the illness. What is love to me? 

Behind all theses things is a Love that lasts forever. Love died on a cross and carried all the sin, wrong, sickness, and evil committed by people. Love returned triumphant on the third day and continues to live for us. For me, Love is The Lord who is behind all the good in us all! Just a shout all to all you Chirstians out there.
