Bring Your Mess and Leave With Peace
The holiday season is upon us, which means that we are all a little stressed out. We stress over throwing the best parties for friend or family get togethers. The perfect party has both delicious food and just the right ambiance. There's stress from trying to find the perfect gifts for friends and family. Let's not mention all the price tags from those gifts adding up in our bank accounts. We put so much on our plates this time of year, it can feel like we are going to some sort of event everyday for an entire month. If you are one burdened with mental illness, it can make the holiday season even more of a struggle.
You are worthy of unconditional love
As humans we often feel like we aren't good enough. Whether it is something horrible we've done, a deep or ugly thought towards someone else, or even feeling a lack of strength battling illnesses. We can feel as though we are unloveable if someone really knew everything about us. Feeling worthy of a perfect and unconditional type of love seems far fetched, because we are in bondage over our own brokenness.
Your heart won’t stop coming after me
11 years ago when I was just 19 years old, I was at my very lowest in my anxiety and depression. So low that I attempted suicide. In my darkness I thought I would make everyone else's lives better by leaving this earth. I felt worthless as I took handfuls of pills of many kinds. In the midst of my total darkness I got a phone call from a friend.
