My mother suffered from depression which was triggered by the loss of her father at age eight. I only have a small understanding of what a lifetime of debilitating depression may be like. She took comfort in the fact that our God promises to never leave us nor forsake us. We may not always sense His presence but He is deeply concerned for us. Thank you for being so open with this community of stitchers. The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8.
Loved this video and your message. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I haven't reached the point where I can do that yet, but maybe one day. I hope you are doing well. Hugs!
Hi Andrea, when you are ready to share you will know. Only do what is comfortable for you. I did alot of hard work to get to this point where I can share. Thanks for watching. Hugs back.
Thank you for watching. I hope that you find healing from anxiety as well. I agree that being open is the best healing that we can do. It is not good to keep things bottled up. I know that when I did that I felt alone. I am sending you all of my positive vibes to you. :)
Wishing you all the best Cindy. I know what it is like. My father suffered 30 years of anxiety from his 40's. He worried about everything, even small things like a scratch on his car. Had all the meds. Nearly had a nervous breakdown. He got better in his 70's but had wasted many years when he should have enjoyed himself. He passed 15 years ago, sadly. Try and keep strong and try and turn negatives into positives. I know it's hard but you can do it. 😀
Hi Tracey, thanks so much for watching. I am sorry to read about your dad. Anxiety is such a hard thing. I wish that he would have found peace in his life. Thank you for your positive words. I appreciate them very much. Hope all is well with you. :)
Thank you for puting your story out there. I talk openly about my depression and anxiety and that helps me a lot. Even so, I am very good at covering it up, so even the closest ppl to me don‘t see my suffering. I take meds, but have now found a better way to deal and might one day not need them anymore. But at the moment I need them and that is ok with me. I have noticed, that you are putting up a lot of Stitcherista style videos and not so many ppl watch dimond paining (even on stitcheristas channel), so I hope you are taking care of yourself and will not get upset about youtube nummbers again. I understand that it is not always controlable, but I missed seeing you and your stitching when you where gone💚 Happy stitching 🍀
Hi thanks for watching and sharing your story. I am glad that you have found a better way to deal. Do you mind telling me what you do? If not that's ok. I am just happy that now we can all be open about our mental health and not feel so isolated. I have been putting up some diamond painting videos because I am really enjoying it. I am still in love with stitching and will be posting a video soon with some updates of what I have been working on. Stitching is my first love. Thanks for stopping in and I love your comments so no worries :)
I have found a woman who has trained in hypnosis and somatic experiancing. A session sometimes goes up to 4 hours as we do a lot of mindful body work. I have been working with her for some time now and without having to talk about everything, which can re-trigger trauma, we have disolved some very negative experiances from my past. This has in turn reduced some of my anxiety and depression issues. I have had so many bad experiances with therapists who just made money off me by making me come back week after week, so this therapy helps me to help myself and it is great. And yes, everyone goes through setbacks, but compared to two years ago, those are not half as bad anymore. Hope you are well, take care and happy crafting 💜xx
That sounds very interesting. I should look into something like that. I have only been to one therapist and she was good but I still think that I need more so this might be something that I want to look into. Thanks for sharing what is working for you :)
I have had a lot of diferent therapists and even the ones I thought where good, never really helped me. One was good as he got my meds sorted out and another one was good as she knew when it was time for me to go into a clinic. But even there no one could really help, they all say you need to help yourself, but don‘t tell you how. Now I am doing all the work, but it is supervised and I get directions and when I am stuck she tries a diferent way untill something works. But it is me doing the work, thats why it lasts. I can always stop, change, go a diferent way, she is only there to see that I come to a good point at the end of the session. I know that it is dificult imagining what I am doing, but I can only recomend you try it. If it is not for you, you will know after the first session and the therapist will know as well, so you will not have to go back. But somehow I think you could get a lot out of it... 🤗 Take care🍀💜

I suffer from anxiety too. The best thing we can do is talk openly about it to educate others and help us heal.
