In this video, I answer a ton of your questions from my experience of facing mental health challenge, physical complexities and being a person of Faith through it all. I hope these answers provide some awareness for what it’s like and hopefully some support for anyone out there like me.

I used this website while living in Georgia and found a counselor who truly helped change my life. I also used this website in California and found an amazing counselor and also was referred to my current counselor.
Rick Warren's "Rethinking Your Life' series. In Particular, "Choosing to Manage My Mind" was SO helpful!

DEFINITIONS:
Intro to Anxiety (from the MayoClinic): It's normal to feel anxious from time to time, especially if your life is stressful. However, excessive, ongoing anxiety and worry that are difficult to control and interfere with day-to-day activities may be a sign of generalized anxiety disorder.
Tourette syndrome is a neurobiological condition causing uncontrollable movements and sounds - called tics. Tics may be mild or severe, and often times decrease in severity after adolescence and into adulthood. Most people with Tourette syndrome have associated conditions and complications such as ADHD, OCD, sleep issues, learning disabilities and more. Some people do have tic disorders without having Tourette Syndrome. - Jamie Grace
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) features a pattern of unreasonable thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead you to do repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These obsessions and compulsions interfere with daily activities and cause significant distress.
-Mayo Clinic
ADHD includes a combination of persistent problems, such as difficulty sustaining attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior.

Jamie Grace this was a blessing and a gift. From one momma to another...
Jamie Grace I HAVE DEPRESSION ANXIETY. IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY FATHER GOD IN MY LIFE I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO. I WAS THINKING. TO MYSELF THAT I NEED TO GET BACK IN TO COUNSELLING AGAIN I RECOGNIZE THIS. AND I'M GLAD FOR THIS.
Jamie Grace JAMIE MY DOCTOR IS SENDING ME TO A NEUROLOGIST I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION. PAPER WORK .HE SAID MY BODY IS FIGHTING AGAINST MY BODY. THAT IS ALL HE COULD TELL ME
We love u so much Jamie u are awsome for helping so many people thru JESUS
Bless your heart Jamie. I love your simple plain sincerity...Indeed you are just you!
Nice video! God bless you and your Aaron and the little baby human child !!!!🤗🤗❤️
Beautiful Jamie,
Thank you for sharing. I’m a huge fan, and I also have Tourette’s, OCD, and anxiety. It’s nice knowing that I’m not alone in this, especially as an adult with a child. The Lord uses you to speak so much encouragement in my life all of the time, thank you for being a vessel of his love.
Blessings.
Thank you Jamie for sharing ❤I am not diagnosed officially but for a long time I've battled with some of the same stuff you battle with and I just... It can be so overwhelming to even begin talking about it.
Hey Jamie! Wanted to know if you have ever came across the book "Can Christianity Cure Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?: A Psychiatrist Explores the Role of Faith in Treatment". I read this when I was discovered I had OCD after being treated in a psychiatric hospital for a week. Didn't I would ever struggle in the mental health area (who doesn't right?). However, this book helped me tremendously to understand how anxiety, depression, and all other forms can be a measure of grace God has given us to consistently depend on him. It is written by a christian psychologist who struggled with OCD and talks about prominent figures of the Protestant Reformation including Martin Luther and John Bunyan who struggled with anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar depression, etc. I used to be so focused on trying to fix myself and gave up after realizing how much my relationship with God has evolved. I am much closer to him than ever before. It's my thorn, but it keeps me on my knees and makes me long for heaven even more! Check it out: www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2008/novemberweb-only/146-31.0.html.
I am a stay-at-home mom with two small children under 3 and since being pregnant with the first, I have had ups and downs with my OCD, but I will say it gets better because having kids has helped keep me distracted, and to be proactive of keeping my anxiety from spinning out of control because they are depending on me.
Thank you for that comment, I found it very helpful, as I've asked God today how Christians are supposed to view mental struggles. Some people say they don't exist, some people say Jesus can heal us from everything and we just need to have enough faith (which I personally experience as discouraging where I am at right now), some people say it takes time (of course also faith, but also just time to be able to heal from trauma), so it was difficult to know if I am supposed to "just lay it aside" and "just have faith", or whatever. Reading that it can be a measure of God's grace is actually very encouraging.
Also, Jamie I loved watching this, I really enjoy your honesty and transparency and you just seem very authentic and adorable. Thank you for this and God bless you!
This blessed me so much❤️ Thank you for sharing your story. As someone who is Christian and diagnosed with PureOCD, Anxiety, and Depression, it's so assuring to hear another believer's testimony. The last portion of this video really reignited my faith and I'm forever thankful.
i have tics and watching ppl with tics stresses me out SO much because it sets off my tics and i think i’m going to adopt theirs
Dear Jamie, I am so really much thankful that you talked about having ADHS and what you do with that for your day. I got ADS and I really appreciate that you where so earnestly with us. In my childhood I was treated so bad because of that and I feld also not worthy to be loved by anyone. But God showed me too that it's more about how you can handle your life with the ADS. BTW my brother got ADHS too... And now he is doing better and better. You are an amazing Girl!!! God bless you and Aaron so much!! Be blessed, greetings from Germany, Ally 😘🙏🏽
God bless. Is it genetic?
@@gersonnahu8796
It runs in the family, but genetics are not the reason.
My relative is bi polar with ADHD. She did the on-off meds because she hated them but she didn't have a handle on life. She said finding the right thing for each person is hit and miss. What works for one may do nothing for another, or worse they may suffer side effects that another does not. As an adult, she finally landed on the right meds for her. She is much, much older than her class mates and is a mother of 2, but she is going to school for a medical degree. When she landed on the right meds, she told me it's like seeing things for the first time. She can actually finish the things she starts and feels like she's not an idiot and can learn. She actually is very smart, always was, but beats herself up a lot. Another cousin was blessed to, as a younger adult, land on the right meds. She took them more than 20 years without a change or problem but then was in a very upsetting situation. Her meds had to change. She was very upset to have to go through again, but they got it right immediately. What is unfortunate is that there are family members who have no clue and don't understand and don't believe. These members cause a lot of harm and strife, not caring to undrstand. You need to surround yourself with friends and family that support you. You can draw strength from them and their love for you too. Of course, faith in God goes a long way.
It's super refreshing for someone to show the not so pretty sides of life. I've struggled with mental illnesses for over 17 years and it's really hard to see everyone's highlight reel online everyday. Thanks for this video ❤️
I struggle with Anxiety my whole life !!! And it's so hard 😭 I've delt with it since I was a tiny baby! I use to pull out my hair and cry and lot because of my anxiety! I've always had it I've also always been super nervous 😬 and scared and worried constantly ! I worry about people leaving me which is like separation anxiety I know i have that ! It's very clear ! I always tell myself that I will be ok and that I need to breathe and calm down ! So that helps me a ton!!!! 🙂🙂thank you Jamie grace for this ! I've been thinking a lot about tis kind of stuff !!!! This is what I needed to be hearing !! 😊
Thank you for your transparency.
thanks alot Jamie for the boldness to share about your condition with others. am sure you have been of great help to so many people out there. May God bless you and continue to use you mightly for his glory.
My daughter found your music recently. (Specifically party like a princess) I said today that she found your music by accident. She is 9 and she says. “No mum. It was not an accident it was God’s love for me I found it”. Elizabeth has autism and anxiety and ocd and all that stuff. She is so excited that a singer she adores can relate to some stuff she goes through. Thank you for being an incredible encouragement and inspiration. We homeschool too and She plays “party like a princess” now to give her energy to cope with school work whenever she finds she is too tired to do her work and also to build her energy to get out of bed! As a mum it was such an encouragement to me that the song she found and connected with has such great value. Thank you. Xo
I appreciate your transparency. It's refreshing.
I've been waiting for this video all day! Love this! ❤😁
You are Healed I speak Victory Over every symptom that you have. Thanks for sharing your story. We thank God for you !
You are an incredible God fearing young lady that makes God smile over and over, and the world is blessed because Jamie Grace is who you are! God Bless you and your precious family! Praying 🙏 for you!
Wow, your willingness to be transparent and vulnerable... watching you try to suppress your tics to letting them be seen. You’re a gem and this has given me the most in-depth insight to each diagnosis. You are truly awesome Jamie Grace. You are loved and appreciated. Thank you for being you and sharing your normal. (Shout out to Mama Mona) 💕
First of all I want to tell you that I love you young lady. I'm not sure if I'm old enough to be your mamma or your grandma but I know your family have got to be so proud of you. I'm positive you are going to be an amazing mamma because you have had one all of your life. Yes, you are right, you are extremely blessed. I have a son that is 35 and since the beginning of last year he has had so many problems. He had to quit the job he was doing because he couldn't handle being there and doing so many things that were against his character that he had a breakdown. On top of the severe anxiety, panic attacks and depression he has had physical problems that cause him extreme pain for a couple of years now. We are applying for disability for him and hopefully he will be approved so we will have some money to pay bills and he will have insurance so he can go to doctors and get something to help him. I have prayed so hard. I'm asking that you and your church would pray for him. I would love for him to be healed if that's God's plan for his life right now or whatever God's will is to be done. He's not able to go anywhere or hardly be around anyone without having anyone extreme panic attack so we watch Elavation Church online. I know we both need fellowship but at least for now that's not possible. His name is Ricky and I really would appreciate your prayers and your family's and your church family for God's will to be done in his life. God's blessings on you,Aaron and your beautiful baby girl. Thank you for doing this podcast. I sent it to his phone and I'm hoping he will listen to it and some of the wonderful sweet honesty will strike something in him that will help him. By the way we are from and still living in Georgia near Savannah. I have listened to your music since you started your singing and have a playlist of your songs that help me have enough energy to clean my kitchen and cook. I'm on disability and have suffered with so much pain for years now. Even with your blessed singing I have to do a little and sit a little but I love singing with you. It keeps me motivated most of the time. Love you my little sister in Christ.
Dear Jamie you have made me so happy for the past couple of years I have been watching all of your songs are amazing and I can't believe I am blessed to hear that it's okay to have OCD ADHD Tourette's anyting you make me so positive and I can't say thank you enough thanks Jamie
I’m so glad you released this!
You have such a beautiful soul. To share your truth with us is beyond wonderful. God bless you and your family.
I've been watching you since you had your channel teenswts! It's nice to see you still upload!
Thank you so much Jamie ! (Unsure if you read comments.) You actually answered my question first. Should have left my name... but your perspective is helpful and I appreciate your transparency about these issues. God bless
don’t know how much love ❤️ you from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 you are our gift from God!!!
I’m from Ethiopia to ❤️
Hey Jamie!!!! I just stopped by to encourage you!
Thank you so much for this Jamie grace I love you and right now I been struggling and stuck in a troublesome with ADHD but you just really help me and I thank you so much 😊 ♥️ keep up the great work love
you’re so amazing JG
❤️❤️❤️love your podcast video Jamie Grace enjoyed it!!!🤗
Thank you so much for this Jamie. Thank you for being so open about something so personal. This has definitely been very helpful and informative for me. Super powerful ... super sobering ... a lot of things that needed to be said. Well done for being such a ninja and an example that it really is possible to live your life fully and well even if it's different. God bless you and your family.
Amazing "what if I chose to walk with them and carry my part too" 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Proud of you sister! Thank you for this!
Wow, Jamie, I just love, love you! Your clarity, truth, depth! Man! (I mean, Girl!), you struggle through so much...; and you are so, so strong - because your attitude still upbeat, still positively hopeful. You inspire me so, so much! Not give up on challenging relationships, challenging circumstances; and amid all the difficulty to keep trusting GOD!
I thank God for introducing me to you! xxxxxxxx
I’m glad to see this video because I have ocd which causes some mild tics, and my sister has a tic disorder. Also, my cousin has Tourettes. I’ve never really seen a Christian view point in these things, so thank you for making this video.
Some times it is just so helpful to know your not the only one struggling. Unfortunately I don’t have much of a support system, so though I know God is ALWAYS here, I often feel very alone. Some of my struggles are OCD, ADD, Depression, Anxiety, Sensory Disorder, chronic pain due to health issues, food allergies, Celiac, etc.
My husband goes through periods of trying to be supportive and others where he almost thinks it’s all an excuse. It’s hard not having a “safe space!”
My depression started in elementary school. I can remember having self image problems as young as 3 or 4, and I’m now 31. I literally don’t remember a time where I was completely ok (especially ok with myself). Yet I also can not recall a time I didn’t know God was real and can see me. He is why I can face tomorrow (even though I have had many times where I DON’T WANT TO!)
Thank you for your openness! It helps more then you may know!!!
Most definitely freaking out because you totally said my name and answered my question 😁😁😁😁
I have ADHD and I am Christian so I have been waiting somebody Chtistian to speak out about it. 😊 God tells me often that I CAN be who I am beacause He CREATED me with it ❤️
And I UNDERSTAND how DIFFICULT it is to sit and listen in church even!!
Stress toys work somehow😍😄😂☀️
Thank you beyond words for sharing this
Thank you for everything!
Thanks for sharing ! God continue to bless you Jamie!!!!!!
thank you so much jamie-grace 🙏🏼
Literally was thinking about this the other day😭😊
I have ocd and anxiety and adhd God told me he’s going to reverse it but I owe him a big one he spoke to me in these words “Others have come to know Me” 😊
All the best to you!
Thank you so much for sharing this.
This video is 139 minutes long... Psalm 139, anyone?
Hallleluja. Our God reigns :)
I love that, I am going to start using that... sending people a blog and if they're not interested then I don't really care to spend time with you lol.
Dude you're so kind, thank you so much for taking the time to leave your comment!! Truly :)
YOU ARE SO AWESOME. Thank you. I have adhd but I don’t ever think of it as a bad thing. I think it’s a gift! Gods given me the ability to have lots of energy and be a people’s person. I’m lots of fun and can talk for hours. Yes I struggle to sit still but I don’t think an office job would suite me anyways!
It’s not all negative with adhd.
I have a loud big mouth that likes to talk to people and tell them about god.
I struggle to learn sometimes but then that encourages me to find other ways to learn. Or the lecturer can help me by explaining another method.
My parents think it’s a demon but I think it’s a gift and who god has created me to be.
Thank you for sharing about your Turrets. Watching you tic made me tic too but I was glad to understand we have similar experiences. It helps me feel less alone. I used to slam my head into walls as a little kid too but I never got diagnosed because my family was trafficking me and calling me "retarded." I think it was from stress because I did it when my mom was talking about the pedophiles and asking me why I did not like them...I just couldn't help slamming myself into walls when she would start talking like that. Anyway, I'm free now, not a slave. I don't slam into walls anymore...just have some tics. I don't know if I have turrets, or if I have psychogenic non-epileptic seizures or something else. I'm glad to be alive and I'm glad you have a loving family like a sweet mom and dad who love you and care for your medical needs. :) Congratulations on your marriage and baby. :) I'm a big fan of celibacy and have been celibate my whole life. :)
HI Jame I'm Comeing on my mom's TH-cam so it shows up as her but my name is Sarah. I have C.P and just got dicnost with anxiety but I just wanted to say that you inspire me to keep fitting to. It helps to know I am not the only one.Thank you so mach for doing what you do. Your so alsome. I hope I can meat you one day.🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
So I'm a year late to seeing this but wow this was fruitful, edifying, educational, a blessing, transparent, courageous, just 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
In Christ Jesus you are strong.
Through Christ you have accomplished many things and will continue to accomplish more things.
God bless you Sister Jamie.
I love you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you ❤️
Thanks for sharing!💕✝️
Thank you for this video. I just found out I have ADHD, so this helps.
Thanks for this, Jamie. I like you a lot. You remind me of my friend
Anita.
My son is the same way with his TV volume.. he has been diagnosed with ADHD, he doesn't like loud noises and breaks down. Happened once at school during music class. We have trouble at movie theatres and fireworks
Thank you for your video, cause I have always had ADHD/Also OCD And Anxiety
However now being so stressed currently i am having a major issue
But now with i can't control movement in my legs.
And my father had ADHD and he must have resleess legs coming out extreme movements.
Other people have seen it ans its frustration when ( they) say its JUST restless legs.
So thank you so much❤
So Jamie, I really like things to be straight and organized. I don’t like things out of order. So is that different then OCD? I’ve never really looked into it.
I have meltdowns when my colouring pencils, pens, testers are out of order in you head it’s like you have an order it must stay in that order if someone moves one to a different spot I start pulling my hair out
I said whoa when saw this was a hour
Hi I wanted to tell you that I have OCD I struggle with intrusive thoughts. God had been with me and help me a lot. If you are going through something God is with you and he loves you. Matthew 19:26
OMG I’m 11 and I have all of those same things
Does anyone know the sermon series that she talked about during the anxiety session?
Love you Jamie💕💕
Happy Resurrection day Jamie
I have a question my son is 8 he was dignosed with adhd at the age of 5 he also has severe anxiety mild autism and as he got older he also developed ocd. How can I tell if he has some type of ticks? What are the movements I need to watch out the most? I do take him to a children mental center for his adhd he takes Adderalls at the moment
Thank you (or should I say thank God) for being an amazing role model and such a big inspiration. I probably just seem like a 15 year old girl who listens to your songs because they have a catchy beat (which they do) but I really am thankful for you and the way you inspire people all over. I hope that God uses me like He uses you to reach people. God is soooooo good and I want to share that with the world. I want to be an inspiration and lead people in the right direction lead people to God. I love the way you “show Jesus” 😉 and I hope that God uses me to do the same. I don’t know what God has in store for me but I know that whatever it is will be great and He knows what’s best for me. So anyway I wanted to get on here and say that you’re amazing and I love you and God is AWESOME and yeah so I’m probably going to regret posting this because I’ll probably look at it and think that’s sounds really cheesy but whatever imma post it anyways 😂 so yeah God bless you and I can’t wait to see your babyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!
I wish my parents would understand tht my tics rnt even a big deal for me bcz it’s my normal. My mum keeps talking abt a cure but I’m more focused on skl and my life and it’s like she’s embarrassed of me
You're a shining light in a dark world. 😇🌈✌
41:35 1:01:40 1:12:10
What was your first tic? I think my son has tic and he is 5
I think I have ADD, but I've never been tested for it. I don't want to say that I have ADD when I haven't been tested for it, because I don't want to upset the people that do have ADD.
Hay i have had somthing happen to me and now i have anxiety and tiks
What do u think of the LGBTQ+ community ? My friends are coming out as gay or bi and one has even become trans . I don’t agree with it but I still respect them, I’m just scared there going to hate me when finding out I don’t agree
Ella Fireworks if they say that to you. You can say God loves everybody but, he hates how most of us live our lifestyle. He wants it change in a positive way & it will change us. His love will always be the same and never change😀 wow I rhyme😀
Hi! you are awesome i was wondering are you co-dependent with your mom? i mean you should talk about this in therapy God bless you and you'r family i( i mean this in a good way god knows my heart) 💌
Im not going to sugarcoat my thoughts I thought that the existence of mental illnesses are unfair and blamed God for them because it does alter our relationship with God. Like how are we supposed to be consistent with our walk with God with mental illness. But at the same time i do believe God exists and I understand that He is for us my struggle is to not use my circumstances to define God or His morals/values or intentions and its a struggle
I love you so much I am a big fan I want to meet you so bad I love you
First
I was the first!!!
Happy Resurrection day Jamie
