Struggling with Depression, Anxiety, and Lack of Purpose - How To Feel Better [Depression and Anxiety Part 1]

Listen Later

*Disclaimer: I recorded this about 2 months ago* I didn't plan on broadcasting this to the world in the midst of it all but I felt it was important to share. It feels easier to share something like this once you've processed it all but I think there's also a lot of value in sharing something when it hasn't been made pretty or been processed through yet. So, here is a very raw episode where I share how I'm feeling and what is helping me get out of a flare of depression and anxiety. I also lead us through a meditation where we can pray and process how God looks at us in the midst of our depression and anxiety.


Episode Outline

  • What brings me out of depression and anxiety
  • Tip #1 - Speak the truth of Scripture over myself
  • Tip #2: Remind myself how God sees me
  • Interactive: Leading us through a meditation - envision how God sees you right now. What is He telling you?
    • Tip #3: Tell someone and seek accountability to get out of depressive behaviors
    • Closing tips...Write Scripture that fights the negative thoughts and put it up all around your room, car, kitchen, etc where you'll see it
    • Do just ONE thing today that will make it 1% better. Just one thing. It can be calling a friend, lighting a candle, etc.


      • If you don't have someone safe to reach out to, I would love to be that person for you! Shoot me an email at [email protected] :)

      I hope you enjoy today's episode!
