We go through many things, but one thing that can impact our hearts is rejection.  God made each of us with the innate desire to be loved and accepted just as we are.  Regardless of the age rejection can create significant issues for us, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.  We can overcome rejection that simmers at the core of our being. The first step is to know that the words, thoughts and actions of others does not define you.  God defined you before you were born, with a predestined plan for your life. Through it all, He will never leave nor forsake you and you can live in the fullness that He designed when you learn to seek Him for right direction in your life.

 The stigma towards mental illness often causes people to feel isolated, stereotyped, shameful, or discriminated against, all of which can hinder recovery. By talking openly and showing there is more to someone than their mental illness, people can see that no one has to be defined by that alone.   For those who are not affected by mental illness firsthand, the conversation about mental illness can help inform them about risk factors, symptoms, treatment, and prevention methods, which will allow them to then help the people around them. This can make for a society that is more informed and accepting about mental illness.
