Hi beautiful!
So this chapter is going to be about struggling with a mental disorder such as depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, or schizophrenia, but being a Christian and trying to keep your faith.
I am a Christian, I have been all my life, but unfortunately I suffer from depression and a severe anxiety disorder.
People have told me countless times "why are you so scared? God is right beside you!" or "God wouldn't want you to be depressed!"
Yes I know that God doesn't want me to be depressed. He doesn't want anyone to be depressed, but you can't help a disorder.
Never let ANYONE tell you that being depressed or anxious is a sin. The only way if it is a sin, is if you take it out on yourself or others, such as self harm or bullying.
God loves you no matter what, and he knows what your going through. Every time you are depressed, anxious, even if you are hearing or seeing things that are giving you a bad message, just know that Satan is testing you to see if you will sin or not.
DO NOT LET HIM WIN!!
Stay strong and say a prayer to God to help you through these hard times.
I love you and there are so many people who love you as well.
Remember that God loves you so much and even if you don't believe in him, just know that there is a God in heaven that takes care of you because nobody has the power to do that.
Love you beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
