Anxiety, Depression, Suicidal
In 2008, I lived in Heath Springs, SC. I lived with my husband and three children, Corbin, Samuel, and Annie. I had struggled with severe anxiety and depression for most of my life, and at this time, I had just given birth to my Annie and was going through postpartum. I did not know the Lord. Previously, I relied on doctors and medicine, but I wasn’t on any medication or seeing a doctor at this time.
One night, I had been having a series of panic attacks. I felt so alone and depressed, I wanted to give up on life. I went outside, looked up to the heavens, and said, “If there is a God, please reveal yourself and help me.” The next day, after having such a rough night with thoughts of suicide, I decided to see a doctor because that’s what I knew. Unbeknownst to me, he referred me to a “Christian” counselor at the Agape Center.
When I arrived, I was upset because I didn’t know they had referred me to a Christian center. I needed a doctor, NOT a Christian. However, something kept me there, and I met the most wonderful woman. The first thing she did was pray with me. I was very uncomfortable but began to melt, and I started crying as I listened to her speak of Jesus. I kept seeing her for months as she read scripture and counseled me. She eventually led me to Christ. God listened that night and revealed himself to me as I had asked. he has seen me through each day since!
