Depression and Anxiety

Unfortunately for those who suffer, depression and anxiety go hand in hand.  Anxiety about your job, marriage, children and finances causes sleepless nights, and stress in your body.  Sleepless nights and physical stress can cause you to fall into a depressed mood.  Severe anxiety attacks can cause extreme exhaustion.  There is a cycle to it that needs to be broken.  It's difficult for doctors to know which problem to tackle first; anxiety or depression.  Before you know it, you can be taking a pill to lift your mood, topped off with a pill to bring you back down, followed up by a pill to help you sleep at night.  There is a better way! 

I once had depression and anxiety so badly that I was mentally and physically ill with various stress related illnesses.  Now, I'm healed and pill free.

This healing process began when God literally called me up from the bathroom floor, where I frequently went to cry, with the profound words, "Get Up".   I responded and the journey he has taken me on since that day brought me the strength first to endure, then the state of well being I now resides in.   

The healing did not come easily.  There was work to be done.  God took this particular "patient" all the way to Africa to teach me the truth about Him.  After such a remarkable journey, both literally and figuratively, I must now proclaim, "A relationship with God is mind altering enough, without pills."
