    Yo bro I’ve been diagnosed with Autism. I’m going through depression and anxiety. Everyday I wake up with pain in my heart. Never had an easy childhood due to my autism and family issues. Had to grow up really fast with all the issues I’ve been born with. I was told to be a man when I needed love. It’s ironic now that I can’t feel love and don’t give out love. Pain in my soul. Pain in my mind. Pain in my heart. For all the people suffering from mental health I wish you lot the best and don’t give up. I’m gonna go follow that advice too.

    Ive been dealing with depression for 6 and a half years, and the COVID pandemic made it sooo much worse!! I didn’t realize how much I needed help until recently. It took a lot of nerve, convincing, and tussling to get the help that I needed to change myself. I am now a brother who is on treatment, takes medication daily, and goes to see a psychologist. I have my issues, I had my highs and lows throughout my life, and to this VERY DAY, I still fight for my mental health, and move one step closer to getting myself together.

    It's coming to light slowly for many of us. Alot of us don't even realize it for years. I will say from a personal standpoint, I too am in therapy and it was the best decision I made in my life. My wife and kids are so happy, and my life went to a level I thought was not possible at times. If your out there and you come across this message and your contemplating getting treatment please know it's worth it as long as your serious and want to heal it will require honesty, self evaluation, and openness but I can assure you that it's worth it. Choose life and be free!!!

    2021 was the hardest, darkest time of my life. I was physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually BROKEN. But now I feel genuinely GRATEFUL and BLESSED that I had to go through that phase because GOD has graciously REVEALED Himself to me in miraculous ways. I am fortunate that He allowed me to know Him at a very young age, but this year is so much SPECIAL because of what WE (yes, GOD and me) have been through last year. He showed me how POWERFUL prayers truly are when I started to focus on WHO HE IS rather than who I am, on WHAT HE CAN DO rather than what I deserve. The experience was MAGICAL. He showed up BIG TIME and assured me that HE is indeed a LISTENING and RESPONDING GOD. Oh how my faith has skyrocketed as a result! Now more than ever, I have very bright HOPE for my future because I experienced first hand how RELIABLE God is. And for that I will forever be grateful. GLORY BE TO GOD, MY EVER FAITHFUL FATHER. ♥️♥️♥️
    (To everyone who's struggling right now, please know that GOD LOVES YOU, TOO. You can completely rely on Him.)
