Dear Little Angels,

This week was really challenging for me. I talk about forgiving myself for mental health issues I can't control. Sometimes it is easy to be mad at yourself because there are things mentally going on that you do not understand. PMDD - Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder is one of those things that makes me very confused and mad at myself because I can't control nor understand my feelings half the time.

Through God's grace and mercy I have found comfort in him that it is okay that there are things that I don't understand when it comes to my mental health because HE understands me regardless. God knows what I am going through on the inside whether I talk about it to others or not.

The next step is taking accountability for my actions and realizing I am not going to be able to get through this alone. I need him. Yes, even when it comes to your mental health, ESPECIALLY when it comes to your mental health. The world will try to paint you as a "crazy person" or even the enemy, but that is not my reality or yours. This was a hard episode to record, but it meant a lot to me to be able to get some of the issues bottled up inside out. I hope you enjoy!!!

- Love Zhan

Scripture References:

1 John 1:9 NLT

Mathew 6:14 NLT

Colossians 3:13 NLT

"Make allowances for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive" Scripture highlights how we need to forgive others, but I also believe God wants us to be able to forgive ourselves after we have come to him with a repenting heart. We can no longer carry those burdens of shame because God has already released us from those shackle's.
