Good Morning!
 
I know that a lot of you or more interested in hearing my "personal testimony" than you are in what I have to say about helping you avoid going through what I went through.  Well, I have to tell you that I, personally, think the "prognosis" would help you more than the "diagnosis"!  However, I will go ahead and tell you about the results of my not knowing how to "break the cycle".
 
I have already shared the fact the I "criticized" myself (which is self-condemnation) . . . that led me to "feel sorry for myself" (which is self-pity) . . . that led to the horrible pit of "depression" . . . and that led me to "destructive behavior"!  So, I can sum this up by saying . . . I began to do things that made me feel "guilty", so that started the cycle again.  Oh, I pray that someone is getting hold of what I am sharing!  At one point, I even became suicidal (that is an evil "spirit" that comes upon people who are in the last stages of the "cycle", and it is straight from the pits of hell)!  Right now, I am having to lean heavy on The Lord to help me continue to share about this!  Because of the fact that I was suicidal, my Mother had me committed to a psychiatric ward of a hospital.  Oh!  I do not even want to talk about all of my experiences there!  I think it will suffice to let you know that I know about "straight jackets" and "shock treatments" and "medications that cause you to hallucinate".
 
Please let me say this ~~~~ I do not hold any resentment toward my Mother, she was only trying to do the only thing that she knew to do to help me. She did not know about taking me to JESUS in prayer, so that HE could "deliver" me.  However . . . He DID deliver me, and I will be talking about that in my next encouragement!  Thank you for staying with me through this~~~~~
 
Have a Blessed Weekend!           (Don't criticize yourself!)             In His Love, Luanne
