Depression is real, even among born again Christians. Every year, more and more Christians are ending their life due to chronic depression. Unfortunately, depression remains taboo in Christian conversation.
You and I once went through a rough patch. What do you think actually made you depressed? Your answer to that question determines if you are a safe person to confide in or dangerous to those currently depressed. Above all, your view of depression might make it difficult for God's grace to give you strength whenever you have an anxiety attack.

Starving For Help
"I smile everyday. I live my life like nothing is wrong with me. No one would ever guess that I'm screaming inside or that I've secretly been hiding this huge part of my life. No one would ever know that I cry myself to sleep at night or that deep down I'm starving for help." Welcome to Anorexia. Your hostess is Ana. She'll take over from here. Suffering alone inside of your mind from a terrifying mental disorder, is something that even those who battle such a thing every day, cannot fully understand. It's like being alone 24/7 yet it's never quiet inside of your head. You can't stop the voices. You can't control your emotions. As it gets worse, you lose control of your body all together. You become prey to your disease and You can't fight back. That is what it's like for someone who has spent years of their life suffering in silence from an eating disorder. Fighting a monster that you have no chance of beating. It's almost impossible to describe the type of torture that consumes your mind. Hell. It's equivalent to pure hell.Concluida
Signature of Love
Through extreme stress, depression, and traumatic heartbreaks, my mind and body were completely slammed. Yet, in that exact pit of daily torture and overwhelming physical symptoms, I discovered the boundless love of God. He met me in my brokenness, broke off my old skin, and transformed my suffering into a powerful testimony of His grace.Concluida

This is my real life and real situations. I hope you all enjoy.
Health & Wholeness - A Christian Devotional
Never before has the world spent more time and money on trying to obtain maximum health and wholeness of mind and body. However, in the pursuit of optimal wellbeing, many people forget to look at the 'Maker's Manual', otherwise known as the Bible! God obviously knows what is best for us -physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. He longs for us to live in a way that makes the most of what He has given us. My new devotional, "Health & Wholeness", looks at what God has to say and how we can really live life to the full! I will endeavour to update often!Concluida
Dealing With Anxiety and Staying Strong
For some reason people don't like to talk about mental illness. Mental illness is real and needs to be taken seriously. Everyday there are hundreds of thousands of people fighting battles and trying their best to stay strong. People are afraid to seek the help they deserve. I decided to speak up and be the voice for those who are afraid to. This is my story with having anxiety.Concluida
Just Okay
We've all been through ups and downs in life and not all of us can speak our minds. I'm not the kind of person that can just talk to anyone about my thoughts and problems. No I can't talk to anyone because no one knows what's going on in my life. I've tried talking to people but it just seems impossible for them to understand. My life isn't completely shit, but it's close. It's not the people in my life, it's not the things they do, it's just me and my mind.Concluida
The Realizations of Depression Warrior and Suicide Survivor
This book that I wrote was one of my great ambitions. I dream of creating a book that would inspire a lot of people. A book that would give hope to people living with mental illness. I wanted my story to be told truthfully and be a testimony to how I courageously fought as a depression warrior and suicide survivor. I dreamed of a book where I would proudly exult the great and mighty works of the Lord Jesus Christ in my life. I wanted to proclaim in that book how God is alive and that people should never stop believing in Him.Concluida
The Redemption of Maximus
The world is screwed up place. Everyone in it just wants peace when it isn't promised to nobody. We work for ourselves to try to improve our ways of life only for someone who has more to take it. Everything is about monetary gain and if you don't got the green you better have a way to survive. Help wont come when you need it. There is no home and having shame is a simple thing of the past. We all tell people to have hope. We tell them that if they work hard enough that change will eventually come and with that change they will find their happy ending. I've watched humans kill for that happy ending. I've committed murder when a tyrant thought to torture the only good thing in this world I have ever found in this fucked up place. Even when I tried to save it, I still lost it. Yeah, you heard right. I am no saint. This world is far from cupcake and t ,rainbows and their isn't not one soul that could tell me different. I have had to fight to survive since the day I lii I broke out of an egg into this world. No one has ever known where I came from and from the moment I got here I've never know any kindness. I have always been the odd one out because I was different. I'm not talking different just because the color of my skin. I'm talking different because when I get well and truly pissed I turn into a vicious monster. I'm not talking a kiddie monster like the one that creeps under your bed while you are sleeping or chooses to hide in your closet. I'm the type that you cant get away from. I travel through space and time. If I want you, I will have you. I have the powers of invisibility on my side, and you will never see me coming. There is no one that can catch me because I can poof away at the drop of a hat. If that doesn't scare you than the thousands of scars on my body and my size definitely will. But who cares about that shit anyway. Looks aren't everything. I am Maximus.Concluida
