Mental Illness?

Aren't we all mentally ill? Don't hear me wrong, I'm not suggesting that there isn't a thing such as mental illness, but because of the fall don't we all have a problem with our heads and hearts. I wonder if the people who are actually diagnosed with a mental illness are the only ones who are actually not mentally ill. In other words, I wonder if all of us should be more vulnerable and speak up about the things that give us anxiety, fear, anger, and all of the other horrible things all of us think about. Maybe the only way to truly deal with the things that go on in our minds is to talk to someone, or better yet, talk to God about them. But unfortunately we will usually not do this. Then we will be stuck in the vicious cycle of thinking things that will cause us more anxiety, fear, anger, etc. Sometimes this leads to action from our anxiety, fear, anger, etc., and that just isn't good at all.

Solution: Talk to God. Talk to someone who loves God. Become vulnerable. Repent. Believe that God will help you. When He does, remember how he helped and continue to grow!
