Hey guys! I pray everyone is still fighting the good fight and know that victory is already yours. Some of you might know that I've been dealing with intrusive thoughts and it got so bad that I thought I deserve to go to prison; not because I did anything but because the thoughts were so terrible that I became ashamed of myself. Through much prayer and therapy Iam much better and realize that what I thought were my 2 greatest weakness, compassion and empathy, are actually my greatest strengths. And for that I say...Iam sincerely sorry, from the bottom of my heart to everyone dealing with anxiety and depression. With tears in my eyes please know that Iam praying for everyone on here for healing and a better understanding. Iam so very sorry guys, I wish I could make us all better but please don't give up, please don't. People need our stories. I pray and love each and everyone of you!!!
Iam sorry..: Hey guys! I pray everyone... - Anxiety and Depre...
Iam sorry..
❤️❤️ your so kind ☺️
We all fall short and do things or think things that may not be the best but God knows our hearts and he understands our struggles!! He listens to us and hears us even in our darkest hours! & even if you believe in another higher power, Same rules apply! Prayer has been one of the only things keeping me afloat. So Happy to hear that you’re in a good place & I pray it Continues
Absolutely agree. I was in the darkest of places and God brought me out. I cant help but to give him all the glory. Prayer is the medicine when other things don't work. Thank you for your words and I can already see God has he hands around you!!!
Jrick34, you brought me to tears with your heartfelt post. Only those of
us who have suffered through this struggle can appreciate the pain we all
go through. Thank you for sharing. Sending you gentle hugs xx
Lovely post, I read a great quote on here today,
Anxiety is a bitch, so you’re not allowed to have any due to me.
😘 xx
Thank you for your well-wishing, that's nice of you.
I recall how I used to get awful, intrusive thoughts and wondering what the hell was wrong with me. I didn't want to be diagnosed with PTSD, but it helped explain some things in a way that allowed me some self-compassion. Don't forget to include yourself in these nice sentiments
Many of us were taught with a negativity bias from the very beginning as that is the way the brain seems to process. I am on a crusade to seek the opposite whenever I can think clearly. It helps to realize it is how we have been fed information.
Even writing this is hard to do as it is so easy to write from a negative perspective. Your message showed your own revelation. So glad you are not beating yourself up into anxiety.
It is hard work to fight decades of negativity bias. Requires a major face lift for me. The masks alone remind me of the negative. I try to assure my masks are joyful. My favorite is Mandolorian holding a Harry Potter wand and this cheers me and those I encounter. Take great care of your wonderful attitude and hold it close.
LOVE this message!
"Victory is already yours"
Changing our perception often will change our weaknesses into strengths.
"I wish I could make us all better."
- perhaps we just need to collectively manifest that energy/healing power 😊
Much love to you Jrick34 🤗
