![]() ![]() God definitely wants His Christian children to be humble and look through to the heart of each person suffering depression. ![]() That’s why I’m writing this blog to show Victory Over Depression through a relationship with JESUS CHRIST IN YOU. The pain in my heart was very deep.Īs a church, we want to understand and accept the deep pain of depression that many go through. The response from many Christians made me feel more guilty and ashamed. For the more I shared about my depression, the more ashamed I became for having it. Often, like most with depression, I learned to suffer quietly in shame. It was painful having depression for decades. When I started sharing the pain and struggles of depression I had as a Christian, I wished so much there was even one person who really understood depression. We want to specifically emphasize the role of the church to help meet their needs. Then, we want to help them in healthy an healing ways. This is the purpose of my blog to see past the “I’m Fine” facade and see the deep pain those with depression struggle with. Her message, as sad as it may be, actually is a very helpful message that raises awareness of how severe depression negatively affects one’s life. She is hoping people, like you and me, can see through her “I’m Fine” facade and see her real message “Save Me” crying out for help. She is sending mixed messages about her depression. However, if you read it through the young lady’s eyes, it says “Save me”.īekah Miles is trying to send a message of help for her depression, but she is probably too ashamed to openly ask or help. Looking at the tattoo, it reads “I’m Fine”. ![]() It shows the tattoo of a young lady (Bekah Miles) suffering with depression. I would not be where I am without you.I was recently move by this picture. **Also, THANK YOU to the ones who have helped me in this battle. “I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.” I want to help people who feel the way I have-and still do-because it’s hell. Maybe this is part of why I am so interested in psychology. I may only be one person, but one can save another…and that’s all I could really ask for. You’d be surprised by how many people YOU know that struggle with depression, anxiety, or other mental illness. This forces me to talk about my own struggle, and why the awareness of it is important. That’s why I got this tattoo they are great conversation starters. If it’s such a huge issue, why aren’t we having this conversation about it? Mental illness is not a choice and will likely hit everyone at some point in their life. ![]() We care so much for our physical health, but hardly a thing about our mental state. Mental illness is serious, but so shamed in our society. This is one of the most difficult things to open up about because it’s extremely hard for me to feel vulnerable…but this needs to be talked about. To me, depression is the days that I feel sad for no reason.ĭepression is the mornings that I don’t feel capable of getting out of bed.ĭepression is the sleeping too much, or sleeping too little.ĭepression is the homework that I never completed, simply because I didn’t feel like I was capable.ĭepression is the break downs I have over absolutely nothing.ĭepression is the eating too much, or eating too little.ĭepression is the nights I begin to cry because I feel so overwhelmed, even though everything is going right.ĭepression is the 50 pounds I carry in my chest at all times.ĭepression is the need to constantly be distracted (being on social media, playing video games, watching movies or shows, or working all the time) because I can’t trust myself with my thoughts for longer than 3 minutes.ĭepression is the friendships that have suffered because of my inability to function.ĭepression is the hurtful thoughts and actions I have towards myself.ĭepression is the tears I have because I don’t know why I feel so worthless, when I know I should feel happy. It reminds me that people who may appear happy, may be at battle with themselves. When everyone else sees it, they see “I’m fine,” but from my viewpoint, it reads “save me.” To me, it means that others see this person that seems okay, but, in reality, is not okay at all. I feel that my leg was the best place for the meaning behind it. And in all honesty, I believe it was a problem for quite a while before that, but I think it just got worse to the point of hardly fun ctioning. Last year, I was diagnosed with depression. I am ready to have a conversation about my mental illness. Today, I am coming out with something that only few of you know. (Dear mom and dad, please don’t kill me over this permanent choice. ![]()
