This is an episode about Depression, Darkness and the road back to God.
Very few people knew/know about my daily struggles of fighting off those demons we battle inside of our own head. No one knew what I was going through mentally. I was in the darkest moments of my life. I encourage anyone that is battling the demons of depression and suicide to please TALK TO SOMEONE. And I encourage everyone else to CHECK on your friends. Check on your strong friends too. I can’t tell you how many times I would be in my car on the way to/from the gym just yelling at myself and cussing at myself in anger/pain. I remember screaming “What the F*** is wrong with me!!” “Get out of my F***ing Head!!.” Every time I got in my car I talked myself out of driving off the bridge or into a telephone pole. I just wanted it to end. I was fighting these demons alone for over a year before I finally fell to my knees and asked God to help me because I couldn’t do it alone. I was beyond broken.
That being said
I am so grateful for the person I have become now that I am on the other side of that storm. Because of all this I have become much closer to God, such a better husband, and father. For that I am extremely grateful. I now have a testimony to share with others and help others. I prayed for many months for God to give me the strength to share my story with others. I was embarrassed and was afraid of the judgment of others… Until I finally shared a part of my story and received so much love, and also messages from others going/had gone through similar situations. Once I realized I wasn’t alone made me want to let other know that they are not alone either. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
