Very depressed.

Psalms 88:7-12 The wrath now in my life lies hard upon me and has afflicted me. Selah. My acquaintances are far from me. I am an abomination unto them, shut away and I cannot come forth. My eye mourns by reason of affliction. God, I call daily upon you and have stretched out my hands unto you. Will you show wonders to the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise you?

This Psalm reflects how all of us feel at one time or another, where impenetrable darkness without comfort is all around us and our affairs. Believing how close to you God actually is, helps and of course, always ask for help.
