So guys I was pretty screwed up I was suicidal and diagnosed with severe depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, and PTSD. I suffered with them for 5 years, until this past August when I hit rock bottom. I was committed to a psychiatric ward and began treatment. After a week I was let out. It was a huge wake-up call for me, I missed a lot of important things that week and had a lot of explaining to do to a lot of people. I was finally starting medication (I know it seems like a weakness, like this should be something you do on your own, but I’m telling you medicine is a Godsend!) and attending therapy weekly. It took a long time, but I finally realized there are two key aspects to being healed from mental illness; 1. Honesty (with yourself and others) You can’t fix problems you won’t admit that you have. There were so many times were it hurt me so badly to admit the things that I was doing, but only in admitting them and recognizing them did I make them go away. 2. Faith, without it I could not have overcome my mental illness, God healed me from the inside and helped me to see my worth. God’s power and love is far greater than any thing we may be going through.
I wish you all the best of luck and will be praying for you… feel free to contact me!

i’ll start off with a little warning that this will be religious in nature so read no further if that isn’t your style… i’m just learning how to love myself because i’ve realized that i was created for a purpose and that i was created from love, i’ve learned that i already am loved by God and there is nothing i need to (or can!) do to gain that love, and i can give love because the source from which my loves flows is eternal
