PTSD Support and Recovery

Thought:

Definition of warrior:

This is a potent message about YOUR personal strength.

Also, remember this-
“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.”

And when you think you do not have any fight/warrior left in you, or that you are not fully winning the battle, just know this- an example from my own personal experience-
Once you have made yourself into a warrior, you will always be a warrior—even when you don’t see it.

“Strength does not come from winning.
*Your struggles develop your strengths*.
When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that's strength.” #MajorDepressiveDisorder #Depression #TreatmentresistantDepression #TRD #MDD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #ChronicFatigue #ChronicIllness #Grief #PTSDSupportAndRecovery #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #PTSD

I never knew my biological father until we spoke on the phone when I was in my late thirties. We physically met once, in my early forties. I learned he died a year after he died when I tried to send him a birthday message. However, the Lord is indeed a Father of the fatherless. His guidance, compassion, wisdom, assurance, mercy, grace, and intimate kindness have deeply guided me through challenges I never imagined. I am still alive. Multiple diagnoses. Multiple mental illness challenges. But multiple experiences of an unbreakable union that expresses, in action, how “his kindness leads us to repentance” (Romans 2:4).

To all you dads out there striving to provide and guide your families, you are seen and deeply appreciated. Happy Father’s Day to you!❤️

Feeling the same for the past few days, still going through the trials of unmedication.
Very tired.
However, I'm starting DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) next week, and I'm hopeful in the results it'll give me.
Life goes on, and I just have to push through.
