    Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story. Ultimately, what got me through this was a beautiful combination of spending time with God, family, friends, medication, therapy, exercise, finding my triggers and really digging deep and figuring myself out and taking time for me.
    I recommend all of this. No it’s not easy but keep pushing through.
    One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through and it will be someone else’s survival guide.

      Thank YOU! For sharing your testimony, I am so grateful for this. The words you speak I could have easily said myself and I have. But God is our ultimate healer , he doesn’t lead us to the water to drown us , he leads us so we can come back stronger and even in my struggles (and I still struggle) I am grateful. Hugs to you sweet girl! Thank you so much ♥️

      Thank you for sharing your story. I am very glad to know you are doing better and to see you smiling! It can be exhausting fighting this good and most important fight (IMO) for your mental wellness. I suffered multiple concussions, and have never been myself since. I am still in recovery from the physical injuries to my brain, and as a medical student I've had to spend more and more time away on this journey of continued healing. It is devastating to suffer neurological (and that includes psychological) consequences from any injury - physical, biochemical, infectious, etc. I was curious after pt. 1 if you ever did learn if you had covid or not- because I know it changed my brother's behavior for months when he was infected working as a resident in the ED in 2020. Although I was fully vaccinated, I got covid in January and it altered my behavior for a bit, as well. Maybe it's the scientist in me that wants to know the cause and because I know that the neurological effects of covid are severely understated. But I hesitate even in writing this, because I know the effects are what need the most attention and healing. And perhaps the first-gen, minority woman in me is subconsciously like, we must have a reason to breakdown, right? This doesn't "just happen" [especially not to us?!?!!] It's not the most important to know how it happens right now, but even more so how to come up. Thank you so much for sharing this testimony, especially when you said this can happen "to anyone at any time." I am here for letting it all break down so that you can build back up stronger. And we are.
      Keeping your family in my prayers, and please pray for me and mine, as well.
      I know you are not a medical information channel, but I would also love to know what herbs and supplements are helpful for added support. [disclaimers and all that]

      Hi Claud. I, for the first time experienced anxiety 2 weeks ago. I had about 5 episodes within 3 days. I literally felt like I was going to die. It was through God, my husband and later confirmed by a dr that it was anxiety. I have not started medication. I am open to it. However, since I know what happen and learned what triggered it, I have been able to manage it. I believe that this was a lesson for me. A lesson to lean on God and to deepen my relationship with him and along with that I have learned that people with mental issues need us! They cannot fight alone. The enemy attacks our minds. Not because we are weak, but because the minds controls everything. The mind is powerful.
      I grew up as a pentecostal pk and now a P's wife, I know this is a battle is spiritual war. We must fight and we must fight together. As I am on my journey, I thank you for sharing. Your MIL gave sound wisdom here. I hope to see more of her in the future. Much love!

      Thank you for sharing, I went through that since December 2020 and yes the same things except por medication was my breakthrough. It is like you describe feeling yourself again. I asked God why why but then He was my refugee in those moments and still is, and God took care of everything, I am the provider of my family and seen God take care of my job, my business was impressive. Believe God and remember to reach out, to your family, friends, church and very important Doctors.

    Powerful testimony. Even with an INCREDIBLE support system, supportive husband and family, access to knowledge, therapy, and medication, Claudette's struggle with depression still seemed so difficult. Can we all take a moment to acknowledge the struggle of those whose outer AND inner worlds are falling apart but don't have the luxury to mend them and lack support or family to help them. Praying for them.

    I vividly remember watching and loving Adrienne's "Day in the Life" video during quarantine with your whole family. I remember watching it and thinking "Wow! They're so lucky to have each other." While I still believe that, I never would've guessed that you were dealing with such deep depression and anxiety. Thank you for sharing your story. It's helping me to know I'm not alone in my own journey. It's also showing me that you never know what challenges people are walking through. Thankful for your bravery and your channel. Thank you, Claude & co.

    This brought tears to my eyes because I literally go through the same thing with taking my meds for my depression and anxiety. 🥺 I battle myself. I really learned a lot from your Mother in law's perspective and I will keep that in mind. You're lucky to have such loving supportive family there. I wish I had that. 😭 I just started therapy again yesterday, so I'll be taking one day at a time and hope to get relief someday.

      I’m so sorry you go through this… I remember my therapist saying to me “would you withhold medication from you child?” And I thought no i’d never do that… so why do it to myself. I always tell myself “Claude, Be kind to yourself” those meds helped me out so much and gave my body a chance to heal itself. That and therapy (a lot of therapy) changed my life. I started to “stack my good days…” a concept my sister in law and her son taught me to do during my healing process. Sending you the biggest hug. Praying for you.

    Oh Claude,you have no idea how much watching this has helped me ,to know someone else out there properly verbalize the things i was feeling and going through last year for an entire year. I was so anxious and depressed, I felt so alone even though I had my fiancé there with me .I couldn’t get out of bed on most days and if i did it was only go to the couch and sleep there,I couldn’t get out of my head. I tired so many things that didn’t work but i was too scared to actually seek medical help because I am Jamaican and we don’t talk about these things,we pray or ignore it because we don’t want to be seen as crazy, i wanted to try medication but all i kept hearing in my head is that everyone is gonna look at me and know that im taking meds for my mental health so i never did . Im not entirely sure when i got my breakthrough but I did and i feel alive. I still struggle sometimes but I’m working hard to not fall back in that dark place. Thank you for sharing this. You have an amazing support system 💜

Ms. Felician is definitely anointed. I can feel it when she speaks. Her voice is like a hug. Her presence is poised and peaceful. I’m sure she has many testimonies about how God showed up in her life, which is why she has grown and matured so much in the spirit. May this family continue to be blessed and protected in the mighty name of Jesus! 🙏🏽

    Claude this a ministry, you guys do such a wonderful job portraying the realness of all these issues. I hope you know God is doing something through you. I know that pain. It happened most acutely during grad school for me. It is real and debilitating, some times are worse than others even a decade later. I myself I have decided to stop taking medication because I have been breastfeeding for the past 6 years. This past year has been very hard, and this has been a reminder to me, that it is not okay, to feel this way for so long. But after awhile it becomes you, in a sense. When you mention Jet in the last video, I broke down because, my Kaiyah, whose now six, constantly tries to help be mommy’s helper, explaining to her that some our hearts get owwies sometimes and we have to see a therapist has been heartbreaking, even though her dad is one. I feel terrible about it. And I will say when you are on the edge, it matters not how much information you have, (we run a mental health practice and create resources for depression), but the experience is overwhelming and without support, it feels impossible. Your family is a blessing. The support you have in them is truly amazing. It truly does take a village of understanding and support and you have showcased this brilliantly. For those who are without it, it is reminder to find a tribe, places where you feel support, and to keep trying. Don’t give up, the world needs you. Thank you for this, please keep up this amazing work.

    Love this and your pure heart, Claud. I have also struggled with depression and anxiety and had to take medication for it. As a Christian, I understand the stigma surrounding that. But God uses things of this world just as powerfully as he uses things of the Spirit to heal and to set us free. Praise God for what He has brought you through!! “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives” Genesis 50:20

But I thank god it was literally days (short lived) My husband was working 14 hour days out of the home and I had my kindergartener/1st grader suffering thru homeschooling while tending to our toddler and newborn. These 2 videos will save lives! I wish Gerd's mom could share more of her wisdom and spiritual knowledge.

    I am so grateful that you shared your story and included your family. It is profound to hear everyone’s experience and how each played a role in your healing. I grew up in a home with a father who is clinically depressed, and while it is a little different situation, I did learn so much about my own biases, and the unrealistic expectations I may have had of him throughout the years. Having gone through a really dark time myself after I miscarried twins, I pulled myself out of it slowly and over time, and because of that I have felt like everyone else can too. You have helped me realize that every situation is so different, and I am so grateful to you and your family for that. Your Channel is very special, but this series is truly a game changer. I wish everyone in the world could see it, I truly think it could make a difference in everyone’s lives. Thank you.

    Yes, our Savior is always faithful!!!
    I have personally seen how prayer has pulled a cousin, sibling, friend, and acquaintance from death.
    Prayer releases a cleansing of our surroundings from sin, pressing the enemy out of our environments so we can take continual breaths of spiritual life.
    We may not realize, that we need more than physical air,food, exercise, and companionship to survive .
    We all at times will need to push firmly against darkness through the power of Christ.
    Morning & evening worship, sleep, and spa/water relaxation therapy is our path of healing.
    Speak loudly the affirmation of God and blessing in your home. This will aide in the healing process
    Thank you for a wonderful family video!

    What an inspiration you are Claude!! I love your family and how you all support each other. I am so happy to know you had a great support system through that rough time. Thank you for allowing us to get to know your raw and authentic self. I really appreciate hearing your story because a lot of us aren’t able to or don’t have someone that we can relate too. But your story is so relatable and everything you said has really resonated with me. I love watching your videos your so knowledgeable and spiritual and I love that. I love you and may god bless you!!! ❤️🫶🏼

    These last two episodes (this one and the previous) have me feeling like I'm talking to myself or listening to myself.. I too went through the same battle (sometimes still fighting through it).. And that mention of feeling like you are drowning, my goodness, I too even have flashes of seeing myself drowning and reaching out to my other self for help.. Depression is strong and very much real. And you're absolutely right, no one can tell you how to cope with it if they've never been down that road before. I too was ignorant of it before I stood face to face with it... BUT GOD HAS US!!

    I’m so happy that you’ve shared your experience. Like it was stated, this has been something that was taught to be kept a secret and this is the utmost truth. I thank God that it is no longer that way and that we’re all treating mental health issues as serious as we would to any other issue. I myself have been that dark place more than once so I definitely know how it feels to wear that shoe. Thank the Lord above that you’re out of that place and remember it’s gonna be ok❤️
