Imagine this: I’m supposed to be crazy on paper but God saw fit for me to have a WHOLE mental health brand.

[Protect Your Mental @protecturmental]

Maybe it was about breaking me, so something more honest could finally rise. Sometimes growth doesn't look like building-it looks like surrender. Like crumbling. Like being reintroduced to who you actually are.

[Protect Your Mental @protecturmental]

I'm tired. Tired of the fearful version of myself. Tired of shrinking, second-guessing, over explaining, and spiritual bypassing. Tired of carrying an identity l've outgrown.
Maybe this break wasn't just about the conversation.

[Protect Your Mental @protecturmental]

So I pray. I go to God for comfort, for clarity, for direction.
But if I'm honest, I'm not always sure what l'm praying for.
Do I even understand who I'm being when I pray? How can God bless someone I'm pretending to be? How can He guide me when I'm still hiding behind fear?

[Protect Your Mental @protecturmental]

That version knows how to survive, but not how to live.

[Protect Your Mental @protecturmental]

There's something about hearing what I want to hear that comforts me, even when it's not rooted in truth. In my effort to protect the version of myself I've always known, I end up defending the part of me that has caused the most harm.

After the break, the rumination sets in. I find myself going back over the words, replaying the moments, wondering what I could've done differently. I wrestle with guilt over the time I stayed too long, the silence I held, the damage I may have caused-intentionally or not.

[Protect Your Mental @protecturmental]

But that doesn't mean it comes easy.

[Protect Your Mental @protecturmental]

I recently had a hard conversation. And part of facing hard conversations is recognizing that something-some system, some story-has to break. Not all systems are meant to last. Some need to be broken. And that breaking? It can be holy. It can be the beginning of healing.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him..." – Psalm 37:7

[Protect Your Mental @protecturmental]

Patience isn’t passive—it’s an active trust in God’s plan. It’s choosing faith over frustration, surrender over control.

[Protect Your Mental @protecturmental]

What if this waiting season is actually a season of preparation? Maybe God is strengthening you, refining you, and aligning things for your good.

[Protect Your Mental @protecturmental]

I know the frustration of wanting things to happen now. But rushing ahead can lead to unnecessary pain. God’s timing is always intentional.

[Protect Your Mental @protecturmental]

Patience isn’t just about waiting—it’s about how we wait. It’s trusting that God is working, even when we can’t see it.
