CHRISTIAN SINGLES : GUIDE TO
ENDING LONELINESS AND DEPRESSION Cont.
Chapter 18: Uncover The Hidden Roots of Your Problem
Realize that anger, irritability, and self-hatred are the spiritual
roots of depression and use this knowledge to propel yourself out of
your misery. Don’t fall for the lie that you will never get better.
These problems are psychomatic and can be eradicated. Christian
singles, have faith that our Lord will help you recover completely
from loneliness and depression.
DEPRESSION IS MERELY ANGER, WITHOUT ENTHUSIASM!
Other sources of depression can include a chemical imbalance in
your brain; low blood sugar, which makes it hard to control anger and
nervousness; lack of adequate sleep; lack of sunshine; and a diet high
in sugar, starches and junk food snacks. Chemical imbalances are
treated with anti-depressants, if necessary. Low blood sugar can be
cured with a diet high in animal protein, non-starchy vegetables and
fruits, and some whole grains, and no sugar. The need for this diet
should be determined by your doctor, after the necessary blood tests
have indicated low blood sugar. Having low blood sugar makes you feel
shaky, weak, unable to concentrate, breaking out into a cold sweat,
nervous and irritated. If you snack on turkey breast, beef or other
animal protein (without breading or other carbohydrate added,) you
will feel the nervousness drain from your body and your brain will
feel normal and alert again. The reason that I can describe the
symptoms is because I suffered from it before doctors believed it was
real. After my blood sugar tested at 29 (normal glucose is between
65-99mg/dl) my doctor still wouldn’t admit I had a medical problem
but I will give him credit for advising me to go on the diet described
above, with protein snacks between meals to keep my blood sugar
stabilized. From then on, I’ve never eaten a meal of mostly starches
and sugar, and I never had a problem again. This diet also protects
you from high blood sugar or type 2 diabetes, but you must be under a
doctor’s care to be sure you are taking care of your body safely.
The remedies for other sources of depression are too obvious to
describe; get plenty of sunshine and sleep. Exercise will help with
these two sources, because you can walk or run in the sunshine and
exercise may help you sleep, if not done too close to bedtime. Low
blood sugar also causes mood swings, low energy and confusion.
