I found this post looking through a lot of things trying to work — and work through my anxiety and depression. Thank you for your compassionate understanding and ways for others to help support those of us who are suffering.

It is frightening, shameful, often physically painful and emotional torture to go through mental illness. It is comforting to know that there is support.

Thank you.

I was a senior in high school art class, when 9/11 started unfolding. I ? how you compare the horror of this terrible day with the stigma of mental illness.

I had never heard of this wonderful pastor, but now I’m going to bring this blessing of encouragement to here in Texas.

I have battled depression for most of my life, and as a Christ follower, I have felt like a failure because of it. 3 years ago, I had a mental breakdown, and God showed me that my illness is a spiritual battle.

Recently, He showed me many of the whys. Crazy, but true. My faith is the strongest it has ever been because of my journey and battle. I want to say thank you for writing this article, and may God bless you abundantly.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Becky! This is what we all, the body of Christ needs to hear right now. We need a mindshift, we need to change how we think, speak and act when it comes to mental illness. Thank you for speaking the truth once again.

Thank you for this. It is a great article, a must read for the Body of Christ. I have lost two brothers to suicide, one was just a few months ago. It leaves such a place in your heart and more of a sensitivity to those around you.
