As we know, any time we use something as it is meant to be used, we save ourselves from unnecessary suffering. Social media is not the exception. Not only does misuse of social media actually make us antisocial while we are online, it takes away from our experiences in reality.
Our stories are capable of bringing so much light and life into our broken world and our broken people. It is even capable of mending our own broken hearts. It's in doing the very thing that scares us that helps us to conquer our fear. Then fear no longer has any power over our lives--setting us free.
I am no doctor, but I did study psychology, therefore if you suffer from anxiety or depression, diagnosed or not, firstly, seek help and secondly, EXERCISE! The National Alliance on Mental Illness states that nearly 60% of adults with a mental illness did not receive mental health services in the previous year. That's a huge number! Mental illness is a real issue and it should be treated as such. Do not be afraid to seek help or to reach out to someone you trust. Forget about the stigmas and focus on what you need and what's best for you.
I am just depressed: plagued with anxiety; the inability to maintain routine, do work, eat; and fatigued by the act of sleep. So is it really true that if I am depressed - even to the point of suicidal ideation - I must not love Christ? I want to propose stigmas and questions I receive about depression and my answers to them as a Catholic woman.
Without even knowing it, I began to see food as a means to God. I became vegetarian last Lent because, personally, I have found it to be a beautiful way to experience God. I can now look at my grapes and think, "Wow, God created these for my body!" He has ordered a lot of disorder.
About three years ago I learned the beauty of working out for a purpose. I don't mean the "I want to lose five pounds" or "I want to tone up my legs" kind of purpose - which I think are great reasons, by the way! BUT (get ready for it), have you ever worked out for someone else?
Text messaging is one of the most useful tools in our modern means of communication...However, I have a huge complaint: text messaging has made adults regress into adolescence.
