We know that physical and mental health are linked. But what I am (a bit late in life) finding is that both flow from spiritual health. This has beauty, gratitude, acceptance on the upside, and grace, mercy, forgiveness on the downside. The spirit of each behaviour needs understanding, and we have to stop making friends with our demons.
If I can describe the problem well, it is due to being pretty fallen, so don’t mistake wisdom for virtue. Indeed, the more fallen you are, the more the sky paradoxically fills the view. My sky is enormous. I still struggle with undesirable spirits, including wanting death when everything feels too much.
But rather than flail myself for the behaviour that follows, I am slowly acquiring the skill of focusing on the holy spirit, which is the only path to peace and reconciliation. It seems mental health professionals will do everything mind and body, and nothing in spirit, trapping you as a permanent customer.
Gosh. right there with ya...again. What might it look like to focus on the holy spirit?
I've wanted/needed to find a mental health professional but have not trusted them for a long time. Every so often i try to contact someone and it's like the universe won't allow it to work out.

The Holy Spirit lives within every true and faithful Christian. Jesus described the Holy Spirit as a “helper” that God would give to us after He went to be with God our Father. If God had not sent His only Son, in human form, to suffer and die for our sins, we could never have a Way to reach God, our Father. 🕊
Same for me, probably because we are more sane than they are. Remember they only bought a title and probably couldnt fix themselves.
