Depression + Anxiety: Didn't Jesus die to free you from that?? (and other questions...)

The stigma around medication & counseling makes me sad. I’m with you, I take medication & believe every person can benefit from counseling! It’s not like Christians are expected to avoid the doctor, dentist etc and just “trust God” for healing. So why would mental health be any different?

[@TiffanyDawn]

I'm so glad you touched on this topic. I spent years struggled with mental health and had Christians discouraged meds. It was discouraging to my recovery and made it difficult. I believe God made counselors and psychiatrists to help us.

Thank you Tiffany. I feel like I have been getting caught up in legalism. The whole thing about you have to read your Bible for 30 minutes to check off a box really resonated with me. I also struggle with thoughts that I am not saved, or that God is waiting for me to screw up. That’s a lie and I appreciate you sharing that struggle.

Thank you for making this video Tiffany!! I really hope one day that I can maintain the freedom mentally like it seems you have found in Him.

Thank you thank you thank you so much once again for opening up and being willing to dialogue about this topic!!

You are so beautiful, inside and out 😘💖 Thank you for so openly sharing your struggles and your healing with us from a Christian perspective.....I think it’s often in the darkest moments, when our fears and doubts are the greatest, that we feel like those thoughts and feelings are too shameful to voice, and this is when so many end up falling away; not through or by any huge tragedy or calamity, but just through a slow and sad withdrawal as hearts are not truly seen or understood.....you know what I mean? But you see us. You understand us. And you’re so filled with grace and compassion, because you’re walking this too. I’m so thankful for you; for your friendship and your wise, strong, vulnerable and open-hearted leadership. Thank you 😘🙏🏻💖 xxxx

@@stevemoore8008 Hi Steve! To be honest, whilst I’m a real talker in everyday life, and can chat even about the deep things until the cows come home lol, these deepest curiosities / doubts / sadnesses etc are the things that I still to this day do find difficult to discuss with people. For example, I might be able to bring myself to say, ‘Sometimes I feel overwhelmed at the thought of eternity....it just feels like a lot, you know? But I know that God will be there, and that everything will be ok!!’ ....this is expressing a half-anxiety, coupled with the ‘good’-sounding Christian catch-all to make me sound not as ‘bad’ as I think I might be perceived. But that’s unhelpful, because nobody out there is a mind reader you know?! And how are they supposed to take from that that what I REALLY mean is ‘Sometimes I feel overwhelmed at the thought of eternity.....because after losing my best friend to cancer back in 2017, I have been struggling with trying to get my mind around the fact that she’s there, and what that even means in reality. Her widow and sister claim to have been speaking to her, he says he had visions of her dancing with Jesus in his living room, and she told him that she has jobs in heaven - that she’s a worship leader and is always busy and in charge of a large group of people. And far be it from me to discredit his own personal spiritual walk, or the way that God might be ministering to him, or that any of it may or may not be true.....but for me, the thought of leaving this already-sometimes-overwhelming life, and then going to a place where I’ll be given MORE jobs and MORE responsibility, only this time I’ll be doing it without my loved ones or my husband there - because I was also told at that time that there is no marriage in heaven - sounds honestly just horrendous to me. And I find myself loathing the idea of heaven, and wishing that when I die, I could just be assimilated into the cosmos, at one with the fabric of the universe and the heart of God......at true peace forever and ever, with none of this very intense, intricate stuff you hear over and over about heaven......” Imagine me saying that in a Bible study group or over coffee at the end of church!! 😬😬 I sound like a LUNATIC for thinking such deep and philosophical thoughts, right?! And I also sound extremely heretical and faithless. But the reality is I don’t believe myself to be either. I’m just a girl who lost her friend and to whom life has been extremely hard over the past ten years. Who struggles with questions over what truly comes next, and how to find those answers. And I think that ALL of us have these moments where we have deep, confusing questions that need to be asked. Sometimes I think relief comes even from just asking those questions and talking them out, you know? So I think for me, finding even just one person with whom I can vent all my thoughts and worries and emotions to helps me a lot. Usually that’s my husband. It used to be my friend who passed, which is partly I think why I’ve struggled so much since she’s gone - we were each other’s mirror, we shone lights one each other’s hurts and fears and hopes and dreams, and we prayed together and encouraged one another always. So when she passed it was like.....an intensely empty, lonely feeling that I hadn’t anticipated could be so all-encompassing. So now I talk to my husband. Sometimes my parents. But I haven’t ever found a friend that I feel comfortable enough around to pour all this deepest stuff out to, because as a Christian, I do feel that these thoughts kind of discredit you as a person of faith. I don’t think it’s right!!! And probably most of the people I potentially could open up to wouldn’t be as shocked or weirded out as I think they might be! But just in case I do find myself keeping a lot of this deep inside. In conclusion, I am so sorry if my answer isn’t at all helpful 💔 Just know that you are not alone in your situation. My advice would be to try and find just one person that you think you can trust, and start with even just one thing that makes you feel anxious or icky or miserable when you think about it. Share it, honestly, without excusing your emotions by feeling like you have to end every sentence by reiterating that God is in control etc - He is not insecure about His relationship with us!! So we have the freedom to explore our faith knowing that He’s not going anywhere no matter what. And other people’s opinions, in the light of that, really do not matter 💖 This is one of the reasons I LOVE Tiffany’s videos (and Tiffany herself!). She isn’t afraid to go there, and she doesn’t think that having doubts, hurts or asking questions disqualifies us from being children of God. Sending you love and prayers today Steve. You are not alone. You are not evil. There is nothing wrong with you. And you are so eternally loved, questions, dark feelings, confusion and all. Find someone you can trust, and let it all out. And I’ll continue trying to do the same *hugs* xx

Thank you for sharing, Tiffany! I needed this. I'm passionate about creating awareness on how Christianity can harm our mental health through just quoting scriptures and praying about it.

I love this video! The parts where you talked about legality of the Christian faith and feeling like you need to go more for God really resonated with me. I was raised as a pastor's kid, and while I have amazing parents who taught me all about God's grace and mercy, I still somehow struggle with that legal mindset. It's something God's really been working with me on right now. I'd love to hear a more in depth story of how you walked through that and overcame that. I know it'd be super helpful for me personally 😊 By the way, you are hands down one of my favorite Christian youtubers and I refer everyone I know to your channel all the time. Thank you for what you do!

[@zebrazippy]

Same, this!! I would love to hear a video on battling a legalistic Christian mindset. I'm not even part of a legalistic circle, but I really struggle with feeling the need to make the correct choices, check off boxes, and generally earn grace. I feel like I'm running this endless race to make enough good choices to become the person God expects me to be. Trying to break free of this mindset and allow myself to make mistakes feels like going against the grain of... something, I'm not sure what but something lol. Anyway, thank you both for letting me know I'm not alone in this struggle!

[@margaretcrossmusic27]

Thank you so much for this video, Tiffany. The timing couldn't be better - I was just reading a collection of quotes from saints (I'm a Catholic) and they included this one from Padre Pio: "Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayers." I know there's so much truth to that, but anxiety feels more complicated to me. I've come to a point now where I'd modify that quote to say "Pray, hope, and don't worry *alone*" - instead, bring the worry (inevitable for some of us) to God and counselors. There's also a great podcast on this topic called "St. Dymphna's Playbook" by a caring, down-to-earth Catholic therapist - I'd recommend it, it's taught me a lot!

[@TiffanyDawn]

I love hearing how you'd modify that quote - beautiful!! Thank you for sharing these resources!!

[@EleniWiebeMentalWellness]

God is so good to be our hope and provide us with tools and people to help us through our mental journeys. As a therapist who deals with anxiety so much I agree getting help is nothing to be ashamed of. Even therapists need therapists. I learnt through the years that it's a human struggle and yes everyone should see a counsellor. It's okay to get help to try to find out your triggers and that it can be healed instantly but if you aren't healed it doesn't mean God hates you or there's something wrong with you. If anyone experiences anxiety or depression and especially if it's affecting your life please remember that you're not alone please seek out help and know you're so loved by Jesus ❤️❤️🙌 you're gonna be okay💪

My therapist told me I should see a psychiatrist about my depression, and consider medication as a treatment to help me get the motivation to do the things I love and to build a habit. I really relate to this video and the topic. 2020 has brought something traumatic with it for every month, and I’ve had to completely rebuild my relationship with God after abandoning what we had before because it was riddled with religion and Dogma. This time I started from a place of honesty in my misery, and the constant struggle that has always been my life. And instead of playing “Pretend happy Christian, God will fix it all if you pray,” I’m saying God is here closer in the pain and trauma than ever before. I’m often angry with Him too, but I don’t hide it. He already knows so I should be honest for my sake. Even in the depression the only direction I find the motivation to follow is where I feel the Spirit points me, and that includes getting medication and professional help.

God bless y’all!

[@vegannature]

I overcame depression and anxiety about 10 months ago, both lasted several years, depression even started in my childhood. Two thoughts I'd like to share regarding the 4th chapter in this video: - I, too, struggled a lot with the "am I doing/praying enough?", even though I had a very long (2h) daily quiet time routine, I almost burned myself out on this. Until one day I came to a point where I just stopped all of it, prayer journaling, bible reading, study guides etc. It was Matthew 11:28 that opened my eyes. The verse says "and I will give you rest." not "here, read this new study guide, it'll help! Also, read 12 chapters minimum.". No! Jesus gives us rest, so I learned to rest in Him. It was really hard for me, because I am a very impatient person, but at some point a beautiful image was formed in my heart, of me resting in our Father's arms. This changed so much for me. I'm a single working mom and there are plenty of days I could feel guilty about not having enough time or energy for a long prayer, but I learned that (for me) those are the days I can just come to God and sit with Him and trust that He knows my heart without me talking. - the second thing is, there were times in my life I just couldn't motivate myself to do any bible reading, so I found an audio bible app, which I usually listened to on my way to work or when I was out for a walk. It also helped me a lot to learn bible verses during better times so I would remember them in worse days.

[@mollielandman5728]

Hey Emeline! I feel like that's kinda what James 1:2-4 talks about (considering it pure joy when we experience trials). Because of our struggles, our faith grows and we grow closer with God. This has been true for me! If you think you're only feeling closer to God in tough times, I think it can be helpful to keep a prayer journal to kind of track how God has been faithfully answering your prayers. Then when the “good times” come, you have “evidence” of God’s faithfulness that will encourage you to praise Him more in those times. Also, even in the dark times, I think it can be healthy to still thank God and have an attitude of thankfulness. That way, when you’re in a better place, you will have practiced thankfulness before when you felt closer to the Lord, so those feelings of intimacy will likely carry over. I hope that makes sense! Praying that you are able to deepen your relationship with the Lord is all areas of your life, Emeline!☺️

Thank you for calling out the unlicensed "Christian counsellors" - it baffles me how it's even allowed to use that title if you're not licensed, so unethical! Definitely appreciate the need for spiritual support/mentoring/guidance etc but not under a medical term. Also, thanks for explaining how you don't need to see a Christian counsellor necessarily (depending on personal preferences) - how it doesn't make you a bad Christian. Really, Jesus died at Golgotha which means 'the place of the skull' (it also translates as 'cranium' which encases the brain) - he died literally where the brain would be if the hill he died on was a real man's skull. Also, Calvary means 'an intense time of emotional suffering/distress' - he didn't just physically suffer to pay the price for our physical 'death', but felt all the emotional distress to pay the price. He wants us healed. He showed it by dying where our brains would be on a hill - not our spirits or our hearts. In my opinion, he's showing us he LOVES us investing in our mental health because HE DID IT FIRST. What could be more Godly than delving into how God made our brains and seeking guidance and freedom?
