Depression is Not Your Fault
You can stop blaming yourself for the way you feel
As I came out of my second test for the week I felt relief that the stress was over. I finally felt like I could relax.
Little did I know that this was the calm before the storm.
That weekend I crashed. By the following Monday, I could hardly stand the thought of going to work and barely made it out of bed.
I was in one of the worst depressive episodes of my entire life.
A couple of weeks previous my computer crashed, leaving me in an anxious panic as to how I would work and get homework done.
Just days later was my son’s birthday, on the same day that I taught a 40-minute lesson in church.
The next day I took my first test of the week, and two days later I took another test.
All of this while working full-time.
Each of these events coming together in such close proximity was too much for my mental health. I broke down and I’m still recovering.
As I started to awake from the sleep-like mental state of depression, I had a thought come to my mind. I hope that it helps you through your mental health struggles as well.
