Wow! I was So Happy to discover this podcast today. I used to go to Hope Community Church long ago when it was still located in the initial office building on Maynard Road. Maybe close to 30 years ago.. I recognize you also, Jason. Small world! It's great to see the work you're doing, and I listen to your guest often also. Thank you both!!
This particular topic spoke to me personally, as I've been on a dramatic healing journey, especially these past 2 years. Long story short...I was trying to juggle it all, and pushing down trauma after trauma until i literally was one big, festering wound. Trying so hard to be All the things the world tells me I "should" be. My body was warning me strongly for weeks, but I didn't listen. Finally, it shut down completely, and I could barely function to just survive.
I have since learned to listen to my body, especially when I'm feeling anxious. To assess the issues as they arise, and set healthier, clearer boundaries that honor my true self. I now make self care a Top priority. I cannot pour from an empty vessel. I no longer say Yes to everyone, and it has been freeing. I no longer feel i have to "earn" my worth.
When I had my nervous breakdown, I was brought so low that I too felt like a burden to my family. I felt such Shame that I couldn't continue to carry the weight any longer. I felt that I'd let Everyone down, and that their lives would be better without me. At that point,
I had been suicidal for over a year, fantasizing about "jumping off a bridge" so that I could finally get some "peace".
The true GIFT was being brought so low, that I Yearned for God in my life again. I had gradually pulled away from him more and more, until I was so incredibly worldly that I no longer recognized there was even a spiritual battle taking place anymore. Like many people, i too
tired to cover up my wounds
with "distractions". I finally handed over my "favorite sin".
God is so incredibly good, All the time! He has worked true Miracles in my life. Life changing, healing miracles.
Things so incredibly unbelievable that it can ONLY be God.
I now have more compassion for myself, and remind myself that I have inherent worth s His daughter. I battle negative self-talk and depression daily, but I also know that Satan uses those Lies to keep me down.

Thank you so much for sharing your powerful and deeply personal story. It's amazing to reconnect with someone from the early days of Hope Community Church-what a small world indeed! Your honesty about your struggles with mental health and the transformative power of turning back to God is inspiring.
Thanks again for being so open and vulnerable. Your story will undoubtedly resonate with many others who may be facing similar battles. God is indeed good, all the time! Blessings to you on your continued journey of healing and faith!

I have just found this today… I had something traumatic happen to me about 9-10 years ago, my family does not believe that it happened to me, it has literally changed my world as I knew it! I just needed someone to believe in me, when I doubted myself… and many days I have doubted myself. What hurt the most, was the fact that they who are church ladies, you know the kind that say we love you , tell all, you can trust me and you trust & as soon as you walk away , they are trash talking me to another person, that hurts! Why is it, you feel like you need someone to just understand what you are feeling and if they don’t, you almost become obsessed in just wanting that.. until I hear what they are saying about me & now I with draw, and yes some days I do feel less then!
I do not go to church, I seem to find in my path ways those church ladies… I believe in God, just can’t handle those caring, non-caring church ladies and every church seems to have them

I'm so sorry to hear about what you've been through. It's heartbreaking when those who should support us the most don't understand our pain. Please remember that you are believed, you are valued, and you deserve all the love and understanding in the world. God's love for you is unwavering and eternal!
