I've suffered from anxiety and depression for years. Miraculously, thanks to prayer and the Lord, my depression went away. I don't have to take medication for it any more. I still have some anxiety, (usually over finances)but with prayer I can make it through. I trust the Lord and I know He will take care of me no matter what! I used to binge eat (not binge purge) but I could eat a whole package of Oreos if I let myself. I've gotten better but I can't keep anything sweet in my house because that's a trigger for me. I understand more about myself now and my faith is so much stronger so I depend on the Lord all the time. There's nothing like the help I get from prayer and having faith and trust in Him!

Your videos and messages are so beautiful to hear. Truly appreciate you all and have a deep love for you and all that suffer with anxiety and mental health. I've got series anxiety and being in the Army has challenged my walk with God and anxiety on a series level. But as soon as I go into prayer, God truly works miracles in my life. I'm not perfect by anymeans, but trusting in God and his promises gives me a hope beyond words and he truly lifts my spirit from what mental struggles i go through. Continue fighting through all your problems using prayer and God's word. Always remember, you arent alone! I love you all. Thank you again for all your videos. They're a blessing to MANY of us.

I’m 16 and dealing with anxiety and feeling abandoned by God, it feels like pure torment and I’ve had severe fear of hell and the wrath of God. The hardest I have ever fought, thank you for sharing. I’m trying to look for an escape, I’m glad anxiety is common because then it would make me feel like I’m helpless.

I struggle a lot with anxiety and intrusive thoughts, I'm always anxious about something and it's like my whole body is fighting against me. But God is faithful and good!! You're a child of God and have no reason to fear, besides fearing God. It is what leads to wisdom. But you have to know God is also merciful, think about how much He loves you that He sent His Son for you!

Continue praying and trusting God because He is holding you. Also look into your physical health, according to Dr. Berg (he has videos on KZfaq as well) he says severe anxiety is 90% gut health and 10% stressors. I've been dealing with similar fears as you and now that I've been taking probiotics and vitamins for my adrenal glands for about 3 weeks along with praying to God and being in community I'm beginning to feel like myself again (: I pray that God will bring you hope.

Praying for you! I struggled with the type of fear you are describing through my teens and twenties. It wasn’t until I realized that it’s only through Jesus Work on the cross that I would be saved from hell. If you have accepted him as your savior you have nothing to fear. Remember that getting to heaven isn’t only about our works or how perfect we try to be, it’s about Gods redeeming love for us. ❤️

@Read..Matthew-11..28 2 жыл бұрын

If you deal with anxiety and fear about the wrath of God just know that Gods wrath is not appointed to those who are saved and trying tour best to walk with Him daily. Whenever you feel that way its the evil one trying to destroy your faith and turn you away from God. When you feel this, something that helps me is just read Ephesians and pray to Jesus. He is good and He will help you through. God bless you 🙏❤

I've had depression since age 13, although it was never recognised or treated at that time. I've had issues with binge and purge eating pre being saved. When I got saved that stopped. I have chronic health problems and struggle with my self worth and usefulness to God. He helps me every day.. I'm on antidepressants and have been for years. I used to feel guilty for needing help as a Christian but I have come to terms with it now. God is so good. I'm convinced that without him I wouldn't have coped with my life's ups and downs. He brings peace, joy and hope. Praise and Glory to Jesus. X

I lost my mom, my brother was on life support soon after that, and my family almost became homeless. I broke out in a terrible rash recently.. due to stress and diet. It’s been crazy, but through the grace of God my brother made it thru and we found a home. But I have trauma!

I love this video, the one before also touched me because I too had sex before marriage and that is a huge regret for me, but a forgiven sin. I suffered from depression and anxiety after my mom and brother died years ago, I developed a eating disorder too. Mine was overeating and it was so bad, but I felt good when I would gorge myself on food and watch movies. It was like an escape from my own mind and feeliongs. I am still overweight due to PCOS, but I have control now and praise God my depression is gone and my anxiety is controlled with medication, and yes there is nothing wrong with taking medications, but I also repect those that chose not to. God bless you for sharing your experiences. Sisters in Christ need to be more open about these topics to help and encourage others. By the way I just received your prayer journal and it is AMAZING!!! Very high quality--bless you, Emily

Thank you so much for sharing this! Lately, I have been struggling a lot with anxiety. I am currently in college and I can definitely relate to what Mentor Mama said regarding placing our worth in our performance and grades. Although I am so grateful for everything God did this past year (my freshman year in college) I can’t help but worry about these next 3 years and how I’ll do. I feel like this is a hard topic to open up about especially since I am a born-again believer. Sometimes it just feels like if I talk about this and show my vulnerability and my shortcomings, it just shows how I’m a “bad” christian. I’ve never been good at talking about personal issues and having a “real” conversation, and most days I just wish there was one person I could turn to and talk to. I don’t know if that means I should look into talking with a counselor, but I’m worried about how that will be viewed by others. Right now, I’m just asking God for guidance in traversing these unknown waters. I know he will get me through this, but sometimes I let my fears and worries get the best of me.

Thank you so much for this series ❤ I'm a mumma of 8 children and 1 in heaven. After losing our baby boy in 2018, I had never known how SEVERE mental health could be. These past 3/half years have been personally traumatic. I'm battling through everyday and prayer has been a MAJOR tool in my healing. Just letting go and letting God has been so beneficial ❤ Everyday might be a struggle but we are NEVER alone and I think that's important to remember.

The brain is the most complex organ in the body. Mental health is just as important, if not more important, than physical health. As with any disease, we should take a tiered approach. If natural means do not have a marked improvement, then medicine should be considered. Your brain and/or digestive tract not producing enough serotonin, is no different than the pancreas not producing insulin, each require medicine. Life is challenging enough without depression and/or anxiety. Share with family and a close friend. You will be surprised who else is carrying this burden. Don’t wait another day to ask for help.

I am struggling with depression and anxiety really bad it’s effecting my daily life and I have an intense fear that I am going to ruin my relationship. I don’t feel worthy, my anxiety is telling me I am not loved by family or my fiancé and I know I am, I’m struggling with school. I read my Bible, devotions, church, and pray and I still feel at a loss I feel defeated. I am praying so hard that God will snatch me out of this before I self-destruct my career and my relationship.

Blessings and greetings from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I went through depression and rejection 6 years ago but I'm still taking antidepressants for a very long time. I looked for help after I was diagnosed with chronical depression. I used to feel anxious too but God helped me to overcome them with some psychological and psychiatrical help. I feel so much better right now. I go to church every Sunday and meet with my youth group too. Thanks for sharing these issues. To God be the Glory forever and ever!

This is so relatable, I also put so much value into my performance at school but at uni I just crumbled so deeply and combined with the start of covid I was just... a mess. Also by that time my ed went from anorexia to compulsive eating. Only couple months ago I realized that all of these were signs of depression. Slowly I am peeling all of the layers of guilt and pain, unfortunately not always I was seeking God's help, but I know He is always looking after me.

I started seeing a Christian Chiropractor and with weekly adjustments, my focus has gotten so much better and I'm becoming active again to learn to live this season of my body.

Thank you for talking about how menopause can activate anxiety. I didn’t know that & going through menopause, Covid, having two teens & also some tragedies in my life all at the same time made me start to feel like a different person & I didn’t know why. Prayer, Christian counseling & sharing my struggles with trusted Christian friends was the first step. I also exercise, take some supplements for women my age & took some time out of my regular environment to get out of the cycle anxiety can put you in. Praying for everyone else experiencing these issues. 💕

So many friends and family have been praying for me. I am in constant prayer to God. When I start to panic or have severe anxiety attacks, I do Diaphragmatic breathing. I recite Psalm 23 when I am at the dentist. It helps me relax so much. I also take medications.

I have two young children, a daughter and a son (I am 38) and I come from a broken family. I was also molested at 13. I have been rejected by most of my dads side of family and and neglected emotionally by my mother. Both of my parents have mental health struggles and used substances to cope. my father passed away almost 3 years ago from lung cancer and was a smoker for most of his adult life. I have struggled with everything both of you mentioned and more. I just have so say being a mom with so much pain from my past that is continually being dealt with in my present is very difficult. The shame can be immobilizing! God is working with me on all my sin and man is it tough! but so healing. I am encouraged to see you both mother and daughter talking so openly about these issues and your honesty! I am curious if mentor mama could talk on how she began talking about her struggles with both of her girls. She is an inspiration! I didn’t grow up with this, there was so much shame and secrecy in my biological family. I barely know my parents. I am the first to change the cycle and it’s very lonely. this video gives me hope that one day God can bring me to a place where you all are and that I can be sitting down with my kids being so honest. I imagine they may have struggles too and I hope we can talk openly about them. I hid my issues all my life but I don’t anymore! God has set me free! He has shown me that I can walk in confidence knowing He is my healer and savior. He knew the family I would be born into and the results of this and how I would cope. I would say my sexual sin has been the most shameful. Thank you for sharing your story mentor mama. You are suing a light for many moms who walk around in shame. Your honesty is beautiful! ♥️

I so appreciate this! I have had anxiety and depression most of my life with two hospitalizations one as recent as October of this year and as a Christian and the other in 2017. Part of the wrestling that has happened in my heart during those seasons is that I believe that God healed me in 2012 when I turned back to him. So I was unable to allow myself to go back on medication. It’s been a process especially feeling alone and like no one can understand. I appreciate your opening up. Knowing other Christians can suffer such severe mental health issues helps to give me a better peace about it.

I really appreciate this video and the overall acknowledgment that having anxiety and other mental health issues doesn't mean we aren't Christians or that we don't have faith. I also appreciate the acknowledgment that medication and faith can definitely coincide.

I am going through so much stress, anxiety and depression and I just feel like I want God right now. I have my LSAT in two days I feel like I can’t do it because i am definitely I’ll-prepared. On top of that, I feel like I hurt my sister and her husband. I haven’t been the best in terms of my behavior and how feel so bad. It would be wonderful to talk to other Christian women about similar struggles.

God bless yall💛 Amen keep keepin on Jesus is our strength💛As someone who deals w ocd anxiety depression and going to school to b a therapist one day, I agree so much with these. I love seeing other Christians talk about faith and struggles with mental health. My ministry is all about education+ awareness on being a christian w mental health struggles and how Jesus is my hope through it and giving free tools and techniques to help themselves with it. 🙏Definitely too about how we live in a broken world and that alot of ppl deal w this stuff and with Jesus and help like therapy support and medication as well as time with God helps. I practice these too. Definitely equipping ourselves with scripture is helpful too. I like to repeat joshua 1:9 to myself for my social anxiety to b strong and courageous and dont be afraid of ppl bcuz God is with u wherever u go. Love this. God bless u all sisters dont give up💛❤️

I think some of us have found relief by praying about this. It can even sometimes be a demon and if you use our Lord's name and tell it to leave. (With faith) You can be free. Othertimes it could be just a mindset. . Or even maybe too much caffiene. Lol. I would ask our father. ❤❤ maybe this would help
