What To Do With Our Depression
We were not made for depression. Our bodies can not run on the fuel and sadness that depression feeds upon. We lose ourselves and break down.

Shame brings you face-to-face with the inconsistency of your identity. With guilt, the solution is to have your sins atoned for, the penalty to be paid. With shame, the response is a desire for glory, to be covered.
