This is why it is so Important that we learn HOW to process hard things! You can't just ignore and avoid... That wrecks havoc in your body and health.
God tells us in His words to turn to HIM, cast all our cares on HIM, trust HIM. When we ignore and avoid and "stuff" our emotions and hard things, we hand them over to satan to use however he want.... And he does.
So[23] Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; [24] And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
Search for God's truth in all things. And STAND on those 💜 if you need more help and tools, come see me. I promise to always point you back to the Lord and what His word tells us.
Humans, even the most faithful, battle mental-health issues.
In fact, many heroes of the faith had mental-health struggles. We see this in the Bible with people like:
Elijah, whom God chose to be a prophet and did amazing miracles, but struggled so much with depression that he told God he wanted to die. (1 Kings 19:3–5)
David, who is called “a man after God’s own heart” and defeated a giant in “the name of the Lord Almighty” but wrestled with deep despair and wondered whether God had abandoned him. (1 Samuel. 13:14 and Psalm 13:1–2)
Jeremiah, whom God chose to be His spokesperson and call Israel back to Him, but battled insecurity, who cursed the day He was born. (Jeremiah 20:14–18) He cried so much He was called “the Weeping Prophet.”
As imperfect humans, we need the reminder that God isn't finished with us yet. We won't reach a permanent, trouble-free state in life. Transformation is slow process, but it's still growth.
