✨ The key differences between burnout and depression

Because self-care doesn’t have to look pretty—it just has to be real. 🧡
The Lie of Isolation
Depression tells us we’re too heavy for others to carry.
This lie leads us into silence and loneliness.
But God never designed us to walk alone.
The Gift of Community
Relationships are meant to be reciprocal—we carry each other at different times.
Sometimes we’re the strong one, sometimes we’re the one who needs support.
That balance is what makes relationships Christ-like.
Obeying the Law of Christ
Galatians reminds us that sharing burdens is not weakness—it’s obedience.
Asking for help honors God’s design for the body of Christ.
Practical Steps to Lean In Instead of Withdrawing
Start small: share a need with a trusted friend.
Practice honesty: “I’m not okay today, could you pray for me?”
Remember—it’s not about dumping on someone, but allowing them to love you.
God’s Presence in Our Burdens
Even when people fail us, God never sees us as a burden.
Jesus Himself says, “Come to me, all who are weary…” (Matthew 11:28).
Reflective Question for Listeners:
Where in your life have you pulled away out of fear of being a burden, and what small step could you take today to let someone in?
If this message spoke to you today, remember—you don’t have to do life alone. Reach out, ask for prayer, and let yourself be supported. And if you’d like to go deeper, I’d love to walk alongside you through coaching.
