Anxiety, Depression, Suicidal Thoughts

Posted on by

I felt the need to create this video for anyone clicking through YouTube possibly struggling with anxiety, depression or suicidal thoughts. I specifically wanted to make this video for you. As a young girl I struggled a lot with my emotions. I really couldn’t put my finger on it but wrestled a good bit with anxiety and depression. When I was in sixth grade I got in a fight with my mom over my hair and ended up taking an entire bottle of sleeping pills. I landed in the hospital for about a week and began therapy. Life was very challenging going through adolescents.

Fast forward to later in life, after having my daughter, I struggled with postpartum depression. The doctor put me on an antidepressant for a few years. For many years I struggled on and off with anxiety and depression and just a roller coaster of emotions. I am no longer on medication and no longer struggle with the depths of anxiety and depression. I do struggle at different times with my moods being up and down, just natural human emotions but I honestly do not have it any more.

The reason I remain healthy and healed is because of God’s word, His truth and His spirit inside of me. I remain confident and healed because whenever I struggle emotionally He is the one that I seek. He is the one that brings clarity, wisdom and healing in my life.

Psalm 23
“The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression or suicidal thoughts I strongly encourage you to read Psalm 23 out loud over and over and let it get deep within your spirit. Even before you begin to read it ask God what He is speaking directly to you through His words. At times in our life we feel very lonely and feel like we are the only one having a hard time. I am here to tell you that I know that I know that I know that you are never alone and I am never alone. God is with me always. His spirit is inside of me and inside of you. He will speak to you, direct your paths, comfort you and protect you.

Simply speak the name of Jesus and healing will begin immediately.

“By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence.” Acts 3:16

Life Interrupted

Don’t you hate getting interrupted?

How many times have you said, “I don’t have time for this in my life right now?” Honestly, when do we ever have time for interruptions?

A little over a year ago, I received a phone call from my dad telling me Mom had been admitted to the ICU for unexpected triple by-pass surgery. I hung up the phone immediately, packed my bags and headed to the hospital two hours away.

I was panicked!

Speeding down the highway, fear and anxiety tormented me. As you can imagine, I don’t do well with hospitals after spending almost four weeks in a coma on life-support. It’s just not my thing. But no matter if it was my thing or not it was getting ready to be my thing real quick.

It felt surreal walking into the ICU to see mom lying in bed hooked up to monitors and IVs. It was heartbreaking.

Her surgery turned out to be a success, however weeks later after getting her settled in at home, I received another phone call, “Your mother has had a heart attack. She’s in the ambulance now.”

I fell to the floor in shock and pure exhaustion.

On my way back to the ICU, I was determined not to leave her side. I stayed by her bed day and night. I’ll never forget those dark nights watching the monitors and praying, “Lord, save her.” Tears flooded my face and soul. “Lord, thank you for healing me so that I can sit by Mom’s bed just as she did for me.” It was in those midnight hours that I felt the Lord’s presence and his gentle spirit hovering over the hospital room.

Life was very disrupted during those months of hospitalization and rehabilitation, however I do not regret this divine interruption. I’m actually very grateful. It was one way I could repay my mom for all that she has sacrificed for me my entire life. I’m proud to say that yesterday; I celebrated with my mom at her retirement party! Another MIRACLE from God!

I want to encourage you no matter how overwhelmed you are with life’s interruptions; the Lord can turn them into some life’s greatest appreciations.
