Yep. I would say that a good portion of my life was taken over by major depression. What I experienced was that many in the church system lose patience with a brother or sister in depression.
However, God did not lose patience with me. He was always right on time with His *treatment* for me. (The great physician) I did not always feel God through my sufferings, but then there were times when it felt like the God wrapped His big ol arms around me and comforted me through days when I did not think I would make it through.
I learned that just because I did not always feel Him, it did not mean He wasn't here for me. And yes, I learned a lot of things I would not have otherwise learned through this terrible long experience.
