Depression and anxiety broke

Image
 I had anxiety as a child. I had anxiety as a teenager. I had anxiety as an adult. I had depression as a teenager. I had depression as an adult. At 17 I went crying to my dad at 3 AM saying “I don’t want to cut myself but I need to.” In 2017 I was suicidal. My anxiety was so bad I couldn’t drive for 6 months. But God wasn’t done with me; my story wasn’t finished.  In 2017 I found out I had medication resistant depression. I had a chemical imbalance and my body would only metabolize 2 antidepressants. I got help. I saw a psychiatrist and counselor.  2020 I did counseling again with my pastor. That is when I dealt with generational curses. Every women in my family has depression and anxiety.

Against such things there is no law .  Galatians 5:22-23 The Greek word translated as “fruit” refers to the natural product of a living thing. Paul used “fruit” to help us understand the product of the Holy Spirit, who lives inside every believer.

  The truth is I am struggling. Physically and mentally. Since 6/2022 my health has been under attack. My sciatica is so inflamed I can’t walk more than 10 minutes without pain. I’m laying on the couch on a heating pad as I write this because preparing chicken to bake for meal prepping brought me down.  Yesterday we watched The Passion of the Christ. I started to read The 7 Places Jesus Shed His Blood by Larry Huch also. This battle I am facing is spiritual warfare. I rebuke it minute by minute and plead the blood. This attack is intense though.
