The Human Condition
by Darkmyroad on Jun.28, 2009, under book reviews
A friend of mine recently pointed out this great quotation from David Karp:
“Much of depression’s pain arises out of the recognition that what might make one feel better–human connection– seems impossible in the midst of a paralyzing episode of depression. It is rather like dying from thirst while looking at a glass of water just beyond one’s reach ” — David A. Karp
This is from his book, Speaking of Sadness. I highly recommend it. He isn’t a Christian that I can tell, but he really grasps the reality of depression.

Join us and rest in Christ
Greetings and welcome to I Trust When Dark My Road. This site is about Christ and His gifts, especially as He gives them to those of us who suffer with mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety. I'm a Lutheran pastor who suffers from clinical depression, and this is where I pose questions about treatments, theological questions, a little humor, and generally discuss the matter of how Christians respond to mental illness.
