Depression, divorce, and suicidal thoughts: My story

Hello everyone! Today's video is different than my usual makeup tutorials, but it is something I want to share, in the hopes that I can help even one person. Today I'm sharing the story of the darkest time in my life, when depression and suicidal thoughts were a part of my everyday life. I felt completely alone and helpless, but God had a plan for me. I want you to know that God has a plan for you, and you are never alone. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, or you are in a toxic relationship like I was, I want to give you hope and tell you there is help and healing waiting for you. You matter. I urge you to get help. Please know that I love you and I am here for you, even if we have never met or talked. I love you.

It's interesting when you said things got better for a short time but then went back to the way it was. This was my experience with my ex husband. He would act like he cared and heard me for maybe a week or so but deep down he was just masking to make me feel comfortable. He didn't think I would leave...and I'm so glad I did. He's a covert narccicist.

[@nener5441]

Covert narcissist. Something I learnt recently. Hope you are doing well! I’m about 6 weeks out and doing quite well.

[@winros]

Love bombing you for a week or two and then things go right back to where they were! They just want to appease you and in your head you're really thinking this time I know he's really going to change we know how that works right? Basically with that is really about is biggest want to smooth things over because you know how forgiving you are because we're always saying I understand I know you're going through a rough time I love you so much... They eat that shit up! How many times have you said to yourself here we go again!!!

[@Lakshanimudi]

My husband's being telling me that I have to do whatever the hell he's telling because I have no backbone to leave this relationship

[@daiannehofig3311]

I have tears in my eyes commenting this video. I’m in the middle of a divorce after an emotional rollercoaster so similar to yours. There were dark days and the only thing holding me here was the love for my family. Seeing you fulfilled, happy and grateful about how your life turned out, fills my heart with hope of a better future for me, too. The message you posted here is powerful, thank you so much for that ❤️

[@merriemakeupartist]

Daianne, I am sending you so much love dear!!! I am so sorry for the hardships and heartbreak you have gone through. Keep trusting in the Lord and I know your happily ever after will come!! You are stronger than you know and so incredibly and fiercely loved by God, don't ever forget it. xoxox

[@wendytrout913]

I'm a year 1/2 post-divorce and I feel that things are worse now than what they were before my divorce. I struggle every single day and can't seem to find the closure to my marriage and to move on. Everyday I think about my past and my life when I had a family. I feel like no one understands. Everyone tells me to move on but I just can't. I don't know what tomorrow will bring but I pray all the time that things will somehow get better ~ that one day I'll be happy again. 😞

[@muttonchopsgayever]

You said “if this video can help just one person….” Well, as a 60 year old man who knows nothing about makeup I came across your video while having the same thoughts as you did back then. This video helped so much when I first watched it and I have come back to say Thank You. Thank you so much and I really REALLY think you need to speak to groups of people and share your story. It is so genuine and from your heart. I can’t thank you enough!

[@kathyjones2107]

I've been going through all these things after my husband of 35 yrs told me he wanted his freedom. I was more than devastated & I thought of ending it many times & still do off & on. I still love him so deeply & I just can't accept the fact that he's doing this. Thank you so much for your story; I definitely identify with you. But my husband was never abusive in any way. I never ever saw this coming. I'm still in shock over it all & still in a tremendous amount of pain. But thank you again. I really appreciate you telling your story.

[@Formerbg]

Kathy I'm experiencing the same thing. I will pray for you as I need much prayer. I've been married 31 years. I know God can restore, the question is will He? Stay strong.

[@sabrinastevens4533]

I’m going through the exact same and I also felt like ending my life but I can’t because I have two beautiful kids to live for. My heart is crushed. I’m hurt, lonely, angry as hell and lost. I don’t know WHY I’m so unworthy of unconditional love and happiness. I literally give up on ever being more than just a mom.

[@merriemakeupartist]

I’m so sorry Kathy.❤️ Please don’t give up hope. You are not alone and there is a beautiful future ahead of you!

[@merriemakeupartist]

God can and will restore, I promise! I have seen it time and time again in my life. I promise you, with all my heart, you are worthy of tremendous blessings, don’t give up hope!❤️

[@merriemakeupartist]

You hang in there mama, don’t you dare give up, or give into the lie that you are unworthy of unconditional love. I promise God is a compensatory God, and He WILL come through and bless you beyond your wildest dreams. If it’s not good, God isn’t done working yet. Sending you love ❤️

Sounds like he was a narcissist. Gosh, it’s easy for anyone to be manipulated by a narcissist. You’re such a brave woman for sharing your story ❤️

[@merriemakeupartist]

Thank you so much :)

[@ripdeadpoet]

Going through something similar. I’m on the guys end though. I was such a shity man when I met her and I could be such a good boyfriend but I would slip up and hurt her so often.. I couldn’t emotionally grow up. If I felt like she was in a bad mood it out me in a worse one. If I felt like she was being mean I would try to be even meaner. It’s hard when your compulsive and can’t control how you feel and communicate. I’m starting to change.. I seeked counseling, I’ve worked on my communication, I’ve worked harder on my goals.. unfortunately my marriage is over and even though I tried to change and prove that I could change; she had already moved on, she said she’s happy, and for me to move on. I’ve tried so hard to make this work and to improve for her and myself and it just didn’t work.. I’m having a hard time being on my own.. opportunity, growth, and passion are only worth it when it’s with someone you love.. I hope men out there realize that your wife’s emotions and feelings do matter.. maybe that dream you had doesn’t matter.. maybe your marriage is the best and biggest thing In your life and you just need to realize it..

[@merriemakeupartist]

Wow, I am blown away by your humility and emotional maturity. It takes a great deal of both to own up to one’s past mistakes. I just know you will have great things and wonderful fulfillment in your future. Thank you for your comment!

[@amw3952]

Thank you so much for sharing... You are such an inspiration and I found great comfort and encouragement in your story. I'm going through a divorce right now and my story is very similar to yours... I was a virgin and devout Christian when I married my husband at 31... Thought I found the love of my life and didn't believe in divorce or understand abuse at the time... We've been together 10 years and have two small kids and he has been verbally and emotionally and a few times physically abusive with me... But it was very subtle at first and grew more and more over the years... It's been hard because there were seasons where I truly thought he was progressing and changing but it's been a vicious cycle. I'm grieving because I'm now 41 with a 5-year-old and a 3 year old and I never thought I would be a single mother. On one hand I'm grieving the loss of a dream and a person I thought I knew... On the other hand I'm hopeful and relieved to be moving on to a new chapter I trust that God has great plans in store for us. Again thank you for sharing and being transparent:)

[@merriemakeupartist]

I am going through the same, my wife said she wanted a divorce and went through with it in a period of 2 months. I tried everything, seeking help together, trying to make it work, restore it. Change my attitude, ask for forgiveness, for my attitude, behaviour and mistakes. She did not want to try anything. I am feeling so lonely and rejected. We have 3 kids, I moved to Europe for her and now I am all alone, no close friends or family. I am trusting God for a miracle. I do not know what to do 😢

I’m in the middle of divorce right now and your video has helped me realize that this pain won’t last forever and God has a plan for my life. I’ve felt so lost. Thank you ❤

My husband and I are divorcing. After 7 years of cheating and lies. I’m tired. I’m hurt, I too am having those thoughts. We have two small kids and I never wanted my marriage to end. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep. I don’t know what I did to deserve this treatment. My heart is completely broken 😞

I hope you are OK xxx i am going through the same thing

[@MaKaykay1]

I'm so sorry you went through that. I was there and attempted but eventually had the same realization you did. I still haven't found what I'm passionate about though

This message let's people know they're not alone. But God can also deliver you from anxiety and get off the medication. Thanks for sharing 🙂
