Healing of suicidal depression
I had struggled for years with mental illness in the form of what I felt was suicidal depression. Then one day, I experienced a lifting of the dark thoughts that had kept me in a debilitating fear of rejection.
One moment everything seemed heavy and hard. I had been struggling with a frequent feeling that there was something trying to force me to kill myself. There were times when I had begged a family member to stay with me, to not leave me alone, because of tremendous fear of doing something harmful or fatal to myself. There were many tears.
Then, as if I had awoken from a bad dream, it was gone. Similar to Job in the Bible, the moment came when I could see life in a completely different way—a dynamic, happy way. At that moment, the new view came immediately.
