I was thinking about this today. Someone mentioned how stressed out I have been lately and that is very true. However if I'm being totally transparent I have always carried stress. There hasn't been a day where I wasn't stressed. At least not until I started college. I had things pretty easy in grade school. I hardly had any homework or tests. I was basically living the dream life. The life every person desires to have: one where they have no responsiilities. There was a time where I had that. However soon after I began college I realized how easy I had it. Imagine going from almost no homework to homework in almost every class. That alone can make one go crazy but then let's just add in a bunch of family stuff: broken hips, heart attacks, illness, bipolar disorder, deaths, etc etc etc. I have had stress on and off since my freshman year of college and with each year the stress got worse and worse. It got to a point where my emotional control was so bad that I couldn't stand myself anymore. That is when I decided to go on Citalopram. My stress hasn't gone away and it probably never will. However with me being on this medicine I have been able to adapt to the stresses of life much easier than before. Life is hard friend. It is full of stressful moments. However it's during those stressful moments that I have learned more and more about His goodness, love, and mercy. He has brought me through each and every stressful event that I've had to face and He will do the same for you. All you need to do is ask and lean into Him. He'll show you the way.
