Each day I give voice to being Bipolar because when I shut down, deny my illness and stifle my voice I hinder my progress. People often will not take mental health seriously until it happens to them or someone close to them. I follow a guy on Threads whose brother has schizophrenia and I am so encouraged because he allows his brother to live out loud. He meets him right where he is.

Even if its just sitting in silence, he is there for his brother everyday. Readers, is that all the support we really need? Just someone to let us live out loud so we do not feel ashamed. Broken? Dramatic?

The Bible tells us to come as we are. Jesus meets us right where we’re at. That’s the beauty of it. We don’t have to clean ourselves up to be accepted by God. All we have to do is accept Jesus by faith. So when people misunderstand us or treat us like we are broken Christians we can find comfort in knowing God accepts us.

Thank you for letting me share!
