> When at the worst stages of depression, I am consumed with self-loathing and the desire to disappear. Where I am now, at this stage of the depression, when it has just started to lift, the self-loathing dissipates somewhat, and I want to go on with life, but I feel incredibly sad and overwhelmed.

Happy Belated Birthday, Noa! :)
God loves you so much, Noa...please hang in there. You are precious in His sight. You are like a little lamb that lost its way and got tangled in the brush. You lost your way and ended up in the mire. Nevertheless, there is hope. Noa, God loves you and like a Good Shepherd, he longs to take you, a broken little lamb, and restore you. Noa, God wants to restore you. Won't you let Him?Hear His voice: "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and YOU SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy, and My load is light." Matthew 12:28-30
"For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13
Peace to you. Sofia.
