Let's talk : Anxiety | Mental Health

[@ELILEE2002]

So raw and so tender, wow! Thanks for being vulnerable. I know that feeling. In my experience it lifted when God came through for me, lifting me out of a dark situation and giving me a new sense of purpose in life. I pray that anyone going through this keeps going. The end will come! 🙏

[@MichelleisMyName]

Amen and amen 😭. Wow…thank you so very much

I'm glad I came across this. This was literally me the whole of May, June and July, and a bit of this month. At the time I couldn't really describe what I was going through but now that I'm kinda getting better, I look back and realize that I was so lost. I'd lost touch with the things that would usually make me happy. I was unable to pray for so long. I lost touch with the people around me. I was struggling at work. I found myself crying a lot. I really found it difficult to just live and at some point I just wish I could die. I'd say I'm getting better now, still not there yet. And one of the things I realized is that God was with me through all that. In as much as I found it difficult to pray and connect with Him, He was there for me and was kind enough to allow me to feel that which I was feeling. At no point did I feel any kind of pressure from Him to get better or get out of that space. For sure, He held me down and still does. And I trust that He did it for you as well. And for every other person who is in this season, be still and know that He's right there, and He'll heal every part of you 💛

Thank you for sharing 🫂 I’m so glad you feel better. He held me down too…I am in a much better place 🤎

I read this once somewhere... Everything happens for a reason. Every event has a purpose and every setback it's lesson. Failure, whether of the personal, professional or even spiritual kind, is essential to personal expansion. It brings inner growth and a whole host of psychic rewards. Here's to more victories and deeper growth!!..Learning how to take a step at a time while being kind to ourselves allows us to survive, then thrive. It is well.

[@MichelleisMyName]

Wow…a great encouragement this is…it makes so much sense. Thank you for sharing with us.It is well

[@theglen85]

Oh Michelle, you are strong for sharing this.... There are so many people going through such and social media isn't making it any easier because people are always showing their best moments, so those suffering depression or anxiety probably sink deeper because they think other people's lives are all rosy... In regards to the times in Dubai, it was normal to think you feel that way because you are away from family and friends, but this time you were actually confronted with these low moment while being home, so that for sure prompted you to have a deeper look and face some realities... One thing for sure, you are not alone and the blessing to have is knowing God

[@MichelleisMyName]

Yes..absolutely. Thank you my dear. I’m glad I was able to share this 💛

[@teresamaina4720]

I was in the same situation this whole year(2021),had a lot of misdiagnosis and spent so much money as my insurance got depleted as i was always in the hospital.The symptoms were lethargy,Irritable bowel system,anxiety attacks,chest pains till one doctor told me to seek the services of a psychiatrist and a therapist.In a nutshell i : 1.Sought the help of a therapist.She was/ has been very helpful and even connected me to the best facility and psychiatrist for mental health. 2.Sought the services of a psychiatrist and got medication because my case was severe. 3.My friends engaged with me a lot and took me out on weekends which helped a lot. Now am much better,not yet fully recovered but am starting to love doing the things i enjoyed doing.Most importantly i have let God to take control.

[@MichelleisMyName]

I’m so sorry you went through that hun…I’m glad you’re feeling better.God is still on the throne,even through these seasons.He loves you and values you way too much…more than you can fathom. Hugs

[@yvonnemartine9408]

I have been feeling like this for a while now. Had a surgery just before the first lockdown in 2020 right before the pick of the pandemic... Right after that bad news started falling, undefined unpaid leave, no salary that lasted a year, end of contract, unability to find a passion that i could have turn into a lucrative business... But i always remember that in all these i am not alone because The One that promised never to leave me nor abandoned me Is Faithful and Capable of getting through all. The LORD is literally my Strength and comfort. Stay blessed Michelle, through Him you are and will always be strong. Thank you for sharing your story 💐💖

[@MichelleisMyName]

Wow 😭….hugs to you my darling.Amen and amen.We share these moments in order to be able to show the goodness and greatness of God in our lives when His purpose is fulfilled in us.I’m glad you’re encouraged.Stay encouraged.He loves us.

[@ivyokwado3062]

One of the people close to me has been struggling with depression for years now. And I was begging God to just heal her and I felt like the more I prayed the more things took a turn for the worse. This affected my faith too.I also didn't feel strong enough to pray. Because I was struggling to trust God.I was in a funk for so long too. For a long time I was just sad...really sad. So when I went throughmy lowest lows I just let myself feel what I feel (really go through it) then let it pass. When I got strength to pray I'd pray, sometimes I'd just cry before God. And slowly by slowly He has restored my joy. I'm learning to cling and trust Him regardless. And focusing on the goodness of God in my life. This was very intense Michelle. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@sebentilezanini1085]

Mmmm ...what do I do when I feel lost and tired ....or fatigued? I normally go back and read up my journal and remind myself how far I have come....that always helps me. Also, I ask my husband to cuddle me more and let me be whe nI am unable to get out of bed. Lately what zou are describing has happened to me to some degree ...at first I thought it could be the lack of sunshine here in DE...then I remembered I buried my father about 5 months ago so of course that is emotionally heavy...coupled with the fact that I am far from home living in a country where none of the languages I am good at are spoken! To summarise, I journalise my feelings....and go back to the old journals written when I was going through the most difficult times in my life....and Iam lucky enoughto have a cousin whom I go to to remind me who I am ....truthfully and how I conquered ...I allow her to say it all without filters. Will keep you in my prayers my dear. Much love xxx

Oh my dear…🫂 More grace to you in this season.More peace to you. God is ever so faithful and has kept me well..I know He has you too.So glad you have a support system out there with you.May God fill your life with joy and peace that surpasses your understanding. Love 💕
