I have also had depression and anxiety panic attacks for me I take sertraline and it just stops it . I still get fed up and I still worry but it is not the crippling fight or flight response. I keep on top of my mental health because being chronically ill and disabled is a challenge enough if my head plays up it's 100 x worse. So me and Jesus stay positive . I focus on the blessings. I had to resign from work and 6 months later my husband resigned from his work to care for me. The blessing we have loads of time together. I love watching the birds and the seasons and the wonder of creation. I love my comfy bed and am so grateful for it. I am so grateful for my home carer who became a friend. I might have lost a lot. But I gained a lot too. My twin boys are autistic ( which we found out after i got ill, it runs in our family)and having a sense of humour is a big saving grace. Despite all the challenges God has blessed me. I love my unique and wonderful family. I celebrate our differences and our amazing bond. Love is the answer to so much and my little house is full of it. You're doing great. Your channel is lovely and being real is exactly what this world needs. X
Way to go. Authentic, the real you, vulnerable, open, and helping others to do the same. I so appreciate you. You're beautiful with or without make-up. You're just a joy to listen to.
Thank you so much for showing this personal and intimidating part of your life. Sometimes we might assume that Pastor kids have to live this perfect Christian life. This is not true we all have flaws and struggles in life. Like myself I struggle with anxiety depression and panic attacks. Right at this moment am struggling with very negative thoughts and overwhelmed by fear. Seeing how brave you are with having a chronic illness and still being positive give me hope. Hope in that I will overcome this mental illness and that all my fear will go away. My fears of losing a loved one, losing my job, my home and my health .. My mind is filled with all these what ifs and I just here so much sermons and read books but nothing seems to help. Thank you for everything you do and God bless you and continue to restore your health ..
So needed to hear this today Mandy. Ive broken down several times today. It seems the more I pray, the worse I get. I have hope but its hard when you're in intolerable pain. Thanks for being open about stuff.
i needed to hear this cause i suffer from depression and anxiety everyday and im slowly making my way out. praying has helped me but also its people God has given me to speak to and vent about it. since ive also started working im realizing people can be them. You are also brave to speak about ur life in a vlog.
Thank you so much for being authentic and vulnerable!
Thanks so much for sharing Mandy. So many people will be blessed by your decision to be vulnerable! I too have struggled with mental health (that is what triggered my fibromyalgia and CFS). I know how hard it is to share this struggle with others. You were very brave to do so and you are helping get rid of the stigma of mental illness!
I’ve missed your “what I eat in a day” videos. Always encouraged me to eat healthier. Also, love your honesty about sharing your struggles with anxiety and depression...been there myself.
Good to know. I was doing so many I didn’t want them to get old. I’ll do another one soon. 😊🙌🏽 Thanks for the encouragement.
I suffer from chronic migraines. It has caused so many different emotions. Depression and anxiety are the worst of those. I’m glad you are talking about it. It helps other people to talk about it as well.
So sorry to hear that. Thank you for the encouragement. Really hoping that it does inspire people to share more with others!
Mandy Meehan I think it does! It helps people to know that even though everyone isn’t going through the same thing we can still find encouragement in each other’s stories. You are very brave to share all of this with us. I, personally, really appreciate it!
Just found your channel and you are so inspiring. I am also a follower of Christ. I have struggled and still struggle with anxiety and depression. I know with my God I can get through it! Thank you for sharing.
Mandy, Thank you so much for your transparency and outspokenness. I believe you are helping so many people on so many levels and at different ages, which if you think about it is pretty much incredible! I am your parents' age and I always get a nugget or two out of each of your videos. Today my nugget was "just worry about what God thinks". I love it and your openness to share. Please know you are in my prayers daily. As always, looking forward to your next video to find my nugget!
So good, sweet girl. THANK YOU for being vulnerable and sharing your heart with us. I am a firm believer that vulnerability moves mountains.
I too have (and still do) struggle with anxiety. I've been through counseling 2 times and HIGHLY recommend it to so many people. I struggled for so long and kept it to myself for far too long. But only satan wants us to feel alone and discouraged in our struggles, that is for sure!
You are not alone and you are loved! XO
I love youuuuuuu!!!! I can see God right through you and that’s such a wonderful thing!! 💗
Thanks for making this and talking about the depression and anxiety that so many of us suffer from xx
I'm dealing with the exact same things, I've watched your videos and know exactly what you mean about the anxiety and depression coming out of nowhere, do not feel like you are not being a good christian because of having these feelings. I know now it's the illness and not me and God loves me and understands. Just keep pushing through! There's this book the wahls protocol that's been helpful, and this recipe in it is amazing at helping with the fibro it's called turmeric tea. It's 1c bone broth, 1/3 can coconut milk, 1/2 tablespoon turmeric and 1 minced garlic clove, heated up on stove. It's amazing how it helps so much during flares. I really felt led by God to this tea. I hope this helps you in some way, God bless you for all that your doing.
thank you for sharing, some of those same anxieties keep me from starting what I know I should to do as well.
I highly reccomend counseling as well! It has helped me through some big changes in my life. Anxiety has been a battle I have been fighting for many years but it doesnt have to keep you from moving forward! I am learning not to let what I "feel" dictate my actions and thoughts. Living beyond what I feel and claiming Gods truth is so powerful.
Thanks for sharing Mandy!! I've been tossing around the idea to talk about my battle with suicidal thought, depression and anxiety that I went through years ago. Hope you and James are amazing!! Love seeing you both follow God's calling on your life! ❤️
Loved this one Mandy! Thank you for opening up! Anxiety and depression is something I struggle with as well.
I just stumbled across your channel while trying to learn more about chronic illness and I'm so glad I did! You have such a sweet spirit and hopeful outlook. I too have dealt with anxiety that seems to be just a "body" thing, when I know my thoughts aren't fearful, and it can be confusing to experience, much less explain to others. Thanks for sharing your experiences and speaking hope!
I’m so thankful you chose to talk about this particular topic!! Thank you for being so vulnerable and letting us know that we’re not alone!! Btw I love the new hair!
Thank you so much for your vulnerability and getting out of your comfort zone. So many people are really struggling and feeling alone and you doing this gives hope!! I would love to see a future vlog that shows how to start vlogging (editing, getting your channel up, if you have a plan of what content and when)! I am looking to start one!! Thanks again for putting your story out there! Many prayers to you!
Thank you for the encouragement. This is a great idea! You’ll have to let me know when you start your channel. 😊🙌🏽
Thank you for vlogging your health issues. I contacted Mayo yesterday after watching you. I have had the same symptoms as you have. I have gone to Drs without help. I thought I had hit a brick wall. You are so up beat which I know has to be hard with all you have going on. Yes a personal relationship with Jesus is our strength. You are a beautiful girl. I wish you all the best.
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your struggles with depression and anxiety. That had to take a lot of courage!
so well done! very important topic and mandy, thank you for being so open and real, I love it when you "ramble"!
I am right there with you girl!!! So relatable and loveee your vulnerability! You are not alone💕
💜
Anxiety is crippling. Thank you for being brave!
Love -N- Lee I try to capture every thought and ask if it glorifies God or the enemy.
I can’t even believe I’m sharing the things I’m sharing sometimes 🙈
thank you for sharing you are helping me and helping others too , love you ❤.
God literally shines through you.Thank you for your beautiful vulnerability.
you’re so great Mandy 💜
You are such an inspiration to me! I actually have the exact same condition as you (cfs) and seeing that you can still be active in Christ and be able to live life shows me that I don’t have to let this illness get the best of me. I love your videos! ❤️
Love love love this! Thank you!
You are so cute and funny! You truly have a gift. Keep up the good work! I really enjoy all your content!!! I’d love to see more day in the life :) but anything is good too. Lol. 💜
I am a newer subscriber and I just wanna say what a very sweet personality you have!! I also struggle with anxiety and panic with depression and I am a Christian also. I have pain on my left side that was diagnosed as fibromyalgia and I can relate very much to all of this. I'm not sure what some of the stuff you said you were doing for it are but I like your attitude and personality! God bless you!!
Thank you for your courage to share this and being truthful.
You da realest! 💛🌻
I love this! You’re so brave.
I think you should do a video “The best things to buy at Trader Joe’s. “ I would love to see what to look for and what to pass on!
Oh my goodness, I forgot about 5-HTP!!! I will try that before a prescription 😊
I heard that an increase in anxiety all the sudden with Me/Cfs is a sign of getting better and moving from one stage to another. ❤
Woo! Love this perspective. Holding onto this thought. 💜🙌🏽
Me too! Hope you are right on this one!
Yes..God is good and He is healing your body. I know He has to be happy with how you've handled this and how you have worked on cleaning up and giving His temple what it needs. Claim it girl..smiles.
Oh I really hope this is true ☺
I learned this through cfs health with Toby Morrison on you tube.😉 He had Me/Cfs and he has tips and tricks to try and help heal your body.
I can't thank you enough for posting this. As always, it's right on time. This has been my major struggle through my illness the past two months. To the point of almost giving up. The enemy whispers that we are too tired to keep fighting, but your videos always inspire me and give me hope for one more day. You are truly doing God's work here. For me, DNRS sent me into a downward spiral. I am hoping to get back to it because of all the success stories, but it seems to be what started my major depression. Have you ever heard that?
Sheri Bergen i have heard that from other cfs sufferers and also experienced that myself.
Thanks for All your videos..❤😇❤:) Always Sooo Helpful❤:)
Great vid Mandy
Thank you so much!
That was beautiful,
You are such a down to earth person with a beautiful soul
you go girl
Would you consider starting support group for EBV and chronic illness sufferers? Thank you for being brave!
Did u do the videos or online course for the drsn?
Hi Mandy it's katie here I just wanted to say thank you for making this video it crazy how God is so amazing he is truly using you and everything you are going through I really hope you see this I am such a super fan of you and the way you do life your story has really been a motivational thing in my life I have been going to life.church for a while now and it has been such a blessing and it is something that I don't take for granted. I was just wondering if you ever plan do do a meet and greet I will truly say you are my favorite TH-camr by far because you are so real in your videos you are not going by what the world Tells us to go by you are truly led by God you are amazing girl and if you ever have a meet and greet I will be the first one there
Oh my goodness! This is the sweetest compliment! I’m sorry it took me time to respond, for some reason your comment went to “likely spam”. I think it’s because you linked LifeChurch 😅. I fixed it now. Ah! That is crazy for me to even think about. Maybe I will one day... What campus do you attend? Thank you for the encouragement! 😊🙌🏽
I go to the nw okc campus and no problem you're videos have been something I look forward to seeing so I thought why not let you know thanks so much mandy.
It's good you talked about depression. If you only talked all bubbly about your faith like life is always great, you would have looked like you are full of crap! Many Christians do put up a spiritual facade and personal lexicon, and hang out and form cliques with others that do likewise (and make it hard for me to find a place to fit in at church). Talking about the hard subjects shows your faith in a way that shows you are authentic and not just putting on an act for people to see on Sunday morning. :)
The one thing I partly disagree with you over is that depression and anxiety doesn't have to go on the rest of your life. For most, mental illness is a lifelong struggle, but the vast majority of them don't have to let it control their lives for the rest of their life if they are proactive in treating it.
Thank you for being brave, awesome video, I am doing the same thing on my channel, much love!
Thank you for this! Ooh! I’m an Okie, too! 😲
I would love to see more “Faith based” vlogs. You’re very inspiring. I’m really struggling in my faith walk. Do you have any suggestions for reading plans, please? I use the YouVersion Bible app, too. Any other faith related apps would be awesome as well! I have iOS, too. :)
I am finding that 5 HTP, along with other medications, is helping my brain chemistry, too. It seems to help lift the depression and calm the anxiety somewhat. I have been taking it for the last 3 weeks, so it was a blessing to get confirmation that it is helping you as well.I have to try different treatments at different times because my symptoms fluctuate so rapidly.Let us keep seeking the Lord Jesus Christ for strength, endurance, hope, and perseverance!
I think this verse is in the book of Matthew, but Jesus says, "the harvest is plenty, but the Laborers are few." I don't know if that verse will speak to you or not, but felt I had to share it. It is hard, when ppl are judgemental, and say mean things, or those feelings of what ppl might say. :/ I'm not a very popular person on FB because I speak out against vaccines, plus I am a Christian that is Torah observant and ppl hate that... But this verse helps! Remember before people hated you (this probably is not true at all!!) They hated Jesus first. --another verse. Those thoughts are so easy to give into, but remember the enemy is the one trying to take you down from your calling. And you have all the power of the universe living inside your heart. 🙌🙌
I want to encourage you that anxiety through the big changes is a common thing. When your getting better your body is not use to it. You begin to hit a ceiling, which is a great thing cause breakthrough is around the corner. I am a life coach with Life Impact LLC - a Christian organization. We learn about the courage to overcome fear. Love and Blessings to you. You testimony has forever impacted my life!
