My Story!

First, let me tell you a little about my health and my journey. I was born a wee bit premature. I do not know exactly how early I was because my mother didn’t have the best record of when I was due. I was a twin, and I was a little over 4 and a half pounds. I struggled through much of my early years with constant ear infections and challenges breathing due to asthma from improperly developed lungs. I had a cholesteatoma in my left ear which is similar to a cyst or a tumor, and it destroyed much of my inner ear, almost working its way into my brain. I had to have multiple ear surgeries, when I was 4, 5 and 14 years of age.

My childhood and early adulthood was rough and quite abusive with years of physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of various family and friends. I had years of damage which took a severe psychological toll, not to mention a tremendous genetic predisposition to various psychological disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar Disorder. I developed both of these as well as Complex Post Traumatic Disorder and pervasive anxiety. During times of extreme stress I even had periods of psychosis, hallucinations and delusions. Several years of my life were spent in and out of mental hospitals with severe, recurring suicidal ideation, and I was even hospitalized after a serious attempt to end my life.

Physically I was reasonably healthy, except for the times when I was not. Sometime my health would plummet, often because of my severe stress. I would be healthy with seemingly no problems, and then my body would just give out and I would get very sick, with migraines, body aches, mysterious fevers, and the like. My bloodwork would reflect infections or other abnormalities but often we could not get to the bottom of it. Other times my body would be fine for months, and then I would get stung by a bee, to which I am extremely allergic, and I would have weeks of anaphylactic symptoms, extreme inflammation, and exhaustion. Other times I would get sick with mystery illnesses which could never be solved. Doctors could see my blood work wasn’t normal, even for me, but didn’t know why. Liver enzymes would reflect damage; inflammation markers would be sky high. We could see there was an infection but where? We never could tell. A course of antibiotics would solve that problem temporarily, but it left its own damage in its wake. Overall, I lived a reasonably healthy lifestyle, being relatively physically active, and eating a high protein and healthy fat rich vegetarian diet. I tried to lay low on junk food, but in the worst of my depression, I basically lived on coffee.

After many years of trying everything known to man to fix my mental health, I gave up. I decided that God could heal me if He wanted to, but He didn’t seem too eager to help me all this time that I had been trying to fix things. I tried Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I tried Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I tried Motivational Interviewing. I tried Meditation and Medication. I tried everything known to man, some good, some not so good. I tried alcohol. I tried microdosing marijuana. I tried some mind control practices. I tried Ketamine therapy. Yes, I even tried prayer. Lots of prayer. I gave up faith that God wanted to heal me. Years of begging and asking and pleading left me feeling hopeless and feeling like I was a curse; that God didn’t care about me because my whole life was a curse. I was continually trying to do good but failing every step I took. Nothing good ever came out of my efforts it seemed.

But one week, everything changed. God showed me His love for me. He showed me little by little, how He didn’t wish for me to live a life where I was constantly seeking a way out. A way to escape the pain. He showed me how He could bring healing when I had not even asked. All I had to do was be willing to go where He was calling me to go. First, He asked me to be willing to forgive others who had wronged me. I didn’t want to. But slowly I learned to pray, “Lord, make me willing to forgive them. Give me your eyes to see them the way you see them and help me to forgive them.” I eventually allowed myself to forgive them. The next morning the suicidality was gone. As I learned to surrender my heart to God’s will, to give up everything that I wanted for what He wanted, knowing that He had my best interest in heart, the suicidality and the constant anxiety went away overnight. I wasn’t expecting it. I wasn’t asking for it. I woke up the next morning and I heard someone quote the bible verse stating that God has not given us a spirit of fear but a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7) and I knew He had healed me. I knew at that point that He waited to heal me until I could get to a place that I would recognize that all my effort was in vain. That nothing I could do would heal me. That I had to be in a place to realize that only He could bring the healing I needed.

Later that day, I was praying, and I started sobbing in remorse of every wrong decision I had made over the years. Stupid things. Things out of spite or out of anger. Things where even I meant well at the time, but I was short-sighted and in my human wisdom, just ended up making matters worse for myself. I practically writhed on the ground in remorse. Yet in the middle of this remorse, I felt God telling me I had to learn to forgive myself. I was my own worst enemy aside from the devil, because I could bring myself to forgive others, but I expected utter perfection from myself. Yes, we should attain for perfection, but NOT IN OUR OWN POWER! We can never be perfect. Only God working in us can obtain perfection of character. Only Him living in us can change our hearts and minds to be like His. God convicted in me that day that I needed to forgive myself because I can’t truly heal if I harbor self-hatred. Afterall, He didn’t condemn me. I asked Him to help me to forgive myself and to see myself through His eyes. It has been an amazing journey!

So, this was the start toward victory in my daily life over my mental illnesses, and this is the start in earnest to what has become a quest to live the healthiest I can live in order to honor God in my body and to bring glory to Him. It is my prayer that I can be of help to you. I will be sharing resources here but will also be offering services in a individually tailored format to help others to discover the God-given gift of life, freedom and health that He offers freely to all. No, I do not claim to have a magic formula that cures all manner of disease and sickness, but I do know the Healer, and I know He loves you and that He knows all things. It is my prayer to be of service to you. If I can help, please contact me. Many blessings your way!
