Mental health and healing
What do you do when the darkness refuses to lift? For years I battled severe depression in silence: the sleepless nights, the relentless thoughts, a hospital admission I never expected, and the terrifying belief that I would never be myself again. Finding Light Again is my honest memoir of the journey out of depression, a crisis of faith, hospitalisation and years of recovery. I wrote it from inside the storm, and from the other side of it. In these pages I share: - What it really feels like to be trapped in depression - How faith, community and medical help all played a part - The three things that finally broke through the darkness - How to take your very first step, even when you have nothing left - Why a man of faith can still need medication, and why there is no shame in it - The one conversation in February 2024 that broke through two years of darkness - The three lies depression told me, and the Scripture that silenced each one If you are struggling, please also speak to a doctor, counsellor or trusted pastor. You do not have to walk this road alone.
