- My battle with depression | MENTAL HEALTH
#mentalhealth #mensmentalhealth #menshealth
This is an interview I did to share my journey with mental health, throughout my life.
Statistically, mental health affects every person on this planet. Everybody, will have done already, is currently doing, or will struggle with mental health issues in the future. It manifests in many different ways, and can show up in the blink of an eye.
I believe these things only get better by sharing experiences, and helping one another, nobody should have to deal with this stuff alone.
Thanks for watching! Stay motivated!

Word of wisdom. Don’t connect with the wrong people just for the sake of fellowship. Choose people who are willing to pray for you. Who are willing to fight with you. Steer clear of energy suckers or toxic people.
I was crying pretty bad this evening. Went to CZcams and this video came up. God please encourage me. Give me hope. I'm trying so hard but still struggling emotionally right now. Give me purpose Lord. Give me something to live for. Literally ALL I have left is my LOVE for God. I can't play piano.....because my pianos are gone. I have no home of my own anymore. I want God to give me a song,heal my heart,and help me understand why it's like there's a veil over me. In my heart I feel it's not Satan hiding me,but the veil is of God. It's like I'm on a shelf. But I don't know why. Lord show me and help me to accept your will,even if it makes me cry. Thy Kingdom come THY WILL be done on earth,in Heaven,and in my life. I may not be anyone else's but I'm yours Lord. 😢❤
To whomever hit like on my comment, May God bless you and keep you. May He make his face to shine upon you and be merciful to you! Just to get the notification on my phone just now that someone acknowledged this comment touched my heart. I pray so hard for others and it's nice to know I'm not forgotten. 😇
@@antoniagodslittlerock4346 thank you! I just saw your comment. Youre absolutely precious and your words are precious and valuable like gemstones! I will pray for you as well ! I literally opened up to Isaiah 54 just last night! And it's crazy because I've been going through hard times for right at 5 years as well. Just like you. I do outreach and ministry and I'm getting ready to carry my cross across the United States. I'm training and getting prepared. So as soon as it warms up a little I'll be doing that. I think the devil usually only tries to threaten people who HE HIMSELF feels threatened by. May God strengthen all those in need of strength and encouragement and enable us to complete the Lord's Holy assignment for our lives. Even though I'm alone.....all I have is a 17 year old chihuahua and my mom, I am not afraid to go do what God has said. The safest place I can be is where I'm doing exactly what God has instructed. This phase of ministry will be different for me. Because up to now I've just done services and conferences. But God wants me to go outside and carry hope to people who may not go to the church just yet to encounter His Glory. The devil didn't figure his math correctly, because now that I have nothing left.....I have nothing left to lose. He didn't calculate that factor in his equation. 👱♀️+0=🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@antoniagodslittlerock4346 I haven't had Facebook in a few years. But maybe I need to set one up so I can friend you! 😇 God has been speaking to me about Isaiah 55 all day long! 🙏 wow!
@@antoniagodslittlerock4346 I know it's been a few days so I don't know if you'll see this. You may not get a notification. But if you see this Please say a little prayer for me Antonia. My dog had a stroke this morning and through the day has grown much worse. He's about to die. I've had him 17 years,half my life. He's literally the most hateful chihuahua ever, but I love him. He would always embarrass me in public and bark at the drive-thru for chicken nuggets. I dressed him up to deliver Christmas presents and He was rude to people. But he was MY rude fur-baby. He's gotten worse recently and I was trying to find the best time to put him to sleep. But just couldn't bear it. I don't know what Im going to do without him. I'm in such shock right now. God has used him SO MANY TIMES to comfort my heart. I know he's a dog,but I'm crushed and I feel sick inside. I know the Lord gives and He also takes away.....Blessed be the Name of the Lord. God help me.
Very good interview. I've been following you and sharing your ministry since you visited Shofar church in Malmesbury. About 3 years ago, I've been affected by an auto-immune disease and couldn't carry on with my life as I was used to and my plans for the future had to change. I found that I needed time to mourn the loss of my healthy body and the plans that I had. Allowing myself to go through the mourning process definitely improved my mental health. So, thank you brother for changing my perspective. I am so excited about what God has in store for me and I am trusting and waiting on Him to give me new vision!!! I have hope ☺
Thanks for sharing Michelle! And thanks for being so strong. Wow
About 14yrs ago, I was diagnosed with several different medical conditions that I still deal with today. Every since then, I have never mentally been the same and my perspective on my life has not been the same either because just like you, I could not carry on with my life the same way. A few days ago, I was praying and asking God what is going on with me mentally and how to resolve it. His exact words to me-you need to mourn it. At the time, I had no idea what he really meant or how it would help mourning things that I cant change or probably never get better. After reading your comment I now understand that he meant I needed to acknowledge that my life has changed, accept that my plans and desires for my life will have to change also and mourn the loss of my healthy body. Like you, I have lost vision due to the limitations. I would love to know more about your mourning process but this platform is not the place to ask my questions. So I will just thank you for posting your comment, it helped me!
Thank you so much ! I am struggling with this in the moment. And it is very very encouraging what you said . Because the Lord did it for you and brought you out , He will bring me out too. Thank you ! And thank you for everyone’s prayers!
Thank you so much for being open and vulnerable with your viewers and for sharing your testimony on this topic of depression that affects so many people. Your words of encouragement and hope really blessed my heart today ❤🙏
I have had struggles in the past as well, but my faith in the LORD's ability to deal with heaviness from a spiritual standpoint always got me through. I'd feel awful then would realize that it was because I was focused on negative circumstances or whatever caused it at the time due to negative thoughts.
Sometimes I'd pray about it then be led to pray against (rebuke) the spirit of heaviness and that would bring my deliverance... In an instant. Life is spiritual as well as physical/psychological.
After that there's nothing like a good praise break! 😁 fav at the time were Rattle by Elevation Worship & You're Gonna Live by JJ Hairston feat. David Wilford
James 4:7, Isaiah 61:3, Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16
When it comes to depression (when spiritual in origin)... Prayer and praise are the answer, but we need to encourage each other at times because when we're feeling low, they're the last thing on our minds.
you are incredible person Alwyn, so big inspiration. Thank you
Thank you so much Alwyn. I am struggling now (Aug /23) since my hubby passed away in December/22. Recently had prolapse of pelvic floor lifting 40 lbs now with stress and blood test results (won’t say) but I know getting anxiety and stress free it can go back to normal and Jesus is my #1 help with healing and restoration all to be for His glory. 🔥❤️ Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦🔥❤️💥 Recently I discovered you on CZcams and I enjoy watching your teachings, testimonies, encouragement and prayers! 🔥❤️
Amazing bootskap Boeta, Dankie. So true Depression is real and a lot of live ever day with it. But God is always the light at the end of the tunnel. After my accident I had the same problem that hole just sucked me in and took over my life.
Lief vjo boet! 🙏🏽🔥
I had no idea that at the age of 7, after my parents divorce that going “mute” or being super quiet non-responsive and disconnected (from everyone) was the beginnings of depression that lasted for 20 years due to other severe trauma that piled up in my life… but ever since I found Jesus and gave it all up to follow him I began to go through the processes of healing mentally physically (3 car pile up crushed my tailbone & temporarily paralyzed me from the waist down) and emotionally and through that Jesus has shown me HIS love and HE has radically changed my life! Alwyn, I love this story and your perseverance through it all! You are the meaning of true inspiration push through and never being broken!
This video is exactly what I needed today. Thank you for sharing your story, Alwyn!
Beautifully inspiring 🙏😊
This was so inspiring. Thank you for allowing us to see this part of you.
Happy to hear that the depression-time is behind you. I find that the more active you are, whether physical or mental, the less time you have to be depressed.
Absolutely 😇
What a strong testimony! God is good! He gives us hope and a vision to believe for a better future. 🔥🔥🔥
An inspiration! Thank you for allowing God to use you!
Thank you Alwyn, for abstracting, the grace of hope; through prophetic utterances; for your words ministers timely strength & encouragement to me personally...♥️✝️🙏
*2 Corinthians 12:10;"For when I am weak; then I am strong" ; God can use best an empty wagon" ; There's something to be said regarding the temperament of the heart; as God often used the Melancholy personality; due to their rich sensitive nature; and deep reflective thinkers; that in retrospect; can all too easily internalize, and become their own worse enemy, at times; for being perfectionist, and prone to think themselves into a funk... Thanks be to God for understanding and knowing just how to channel this rich self sacrificing nature of their personality...♥️; Makes for a joy to give our lives away; the perfect breeding grounds for good works and service to The Lord; rather than become too self-centered focused! What a preciously blessed, beautiful soul you are Alwyn!!!♥️✝️🦅👑🕊️ The Lord has fashioned you perfect!!❤; Not any amount of degree short! ;To the praise of His glorious grace!!!♥️✝️👑🦅
PS: Blessed are the tears; and it's okay to cry...🥲
~Shalom!♥️✝️🕊️
