Struggling with mental illness

God has drastically improved my mental heath and emotions

When I was sixteen I had a manic episode that has altered my life.

Ever since 2000 I’ve had a few hospitalizations dealing with hyper mania and acute depression.

Throughout my life I’ve walked on eggshells to not be exposed of having a mental illness.

I was ashamed and felt less than and it effected me on a deep level.

I’ve been blessed with a supporting family.

My wife has stood by me and has supported me and has never made me feel alone.

She would visit me on a daily basis while hospitalized and never left my side.

It wasn’t until I truly devoted myself to Christ that all that changed.

I have come to believe that that was a path I had to take and escape in order to truly appreciate the life I have now.

See with all my episodes I was hyper religious and now have discovered it was all spiritual warfare.

I now have no side effects from my medicine and any I mean any symptoms since I’ve been set free.

God has really been with me throughout the years and has granted me grace and mercy.

God has freed me from all types of mental problems and now I stay in a steady amount of peace.

I encourage anyone who fights these types of battles in their life to come to Christ and lay down your troubles and renew your mind daily by reading the bible and meditating on His word.

Mental illness is a long lonesome road.

You feel like no one gets you and your all alone.

But rest assure Jesus said He will never leave you nor forsake you and He desires for you to come to Him and ask for wisdom and lay down your cares at His feet.

Allow God to intervein in you situation and remember I’m here if you need to reach out.
