I try not to podcast about problems without giving solutions. But this podcast on mental health has no solution. And yet I found myself recording the most raw episode yet in order to start the conversation without shame, judgement or in hopes of finding a solution, or at least providing hope. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL FIND - My journey in suicidal thoughts- Encouragement to live your purpose despite the lies playing in your head - God created you for a purpose and that you can actually take back control from mental illness - How to help me break down the stigma of mental health SHOW NOTES While Jesus breaks the chains of captivity, when it comes to something that's wrong in our health, sometimes we need to also seek other alternatives. Depression isn't the inability to recognize your blessings, but the inability to find joy in those blessings due to your thoughts telling you that those blessings would be better off without you. The feelings feel SO REAL. And before long those thoughts take over your ability to live life. God wouldn't have created you if He didn't have a purpose for you. He intentionally had to create you. He wasn't controlled by two people who made a decision and created a baby on their own. God designed you with a purpose in mind. Suicide robs you and the world of that purpose. If you struggle with your mental health in ANY aspect, I would love to hear your story and encourage you to seek a treatment option that works FOR YOU. Then join me in fighting back and living our purpose despite our struggles! Let's freaking talk about this! Let's save our moms, our dads, our kids by wholly listening and supporting without judgement or questioning! You might save someone's life! Mental health is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. It's something you can't control! Suicide affects every season of life. But you have a purpose for your life! God wouldn't have created you if He didn't have a purpose for you. He intentionally had to create you. He wasn't controlled by two people who made a decision and created a baby on their own. God designed you with a purpose in mind. Suicide robs you and the world of that purpose. Stop believing the lies that the world would be better without you.
