What is with that? Like it makes it seem that they think the only thing I need to fix my mental heath is The Lord. When a passge with that theme is read as part of the scripture at Sunday service they stare at me and elbow me and show me the underlined verses. They also just constantly sing songs by Christian Artists and read scripture loudly in my vicinity that have themes of how God Helps Us Through All Our Hardships, or how we should just Lay All Our Burdens On The Lord.
They don’t believe that I should get therapy or be on Anti Depressants. And yet my Conservative Christian Parents don’t seem to believe I have any kind of serious mental illness, even after knowing of some Intimate Partner Violence I have survived and a small suicide scare a year or so ago. So I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder by a healthcare professional. Ok so is it more than just me? (A post about Christian Parents)
