If you fight with life by yourself, please know that you are not alone! You may feel weird reading this, but trust me on this, one line of what is written it can be the very thing you need right now, so bear with me here and keep reading, please! YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Have the courage to reach out to people around you, and if you don’t trust them with your internal battle, reach out to me. Sometimes is easier to talk with strangers than family and friends, and that’s why I am here!
Shame, guilt. the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness? It is okay to feel that, as long as you reach out for help! The entire world is crazy now, so believe me, not normal is the new normal. And yet, there is so much hope in human connection! So much hope when you decide to pick up that phone and call. You don’t have to explain anything, just call, and have little conversations. Take it from there, and just trust God to guide you! Your friends, will har you even when you don’t talk. So pick up that phone and call!
Together with Fred Stover, a dear friend, father, pastor, and veteran from the US Army, we sit and talk about mental health from a place of living proof that there are life and hope after attempting suicide and living with PTSD. We have similar challenges for different reasons. While Fred was trying to commit suicide in America, I was trying to survive in Romania, only to meet 20 years later in the Netherlands. God has control over every single part of our life, and we are the living proof of that.
So let us tell you how it is to live with PTSD, faith, hope, and perspective, every single day!
You are so precious, and your life is so precious! And one day, when you will start healing, you will see that too! <3
