Been struggling with negative thoughts a little extra in this season. Random thoughts popping out from nowhere, telling me am not pretty enough, am not good enough company, am not lovable, am not for keeps, I suck at everything, not smart enough. Theses things have been on my mind the past couple of days.
At some point I remember wishing I didn’t exist entirely. The whole thing is just exhausting. But because I was trying to be strong I shoved off the thoughts as they came. Little did I know I was just banking all the emotions associated with the negativity. And eventually, broke down with such heaviness, cried all night. This has happened to me many times , it’s like a pattern. I constantly find myself in this depressed state where am all choked up.
It’s been a few days from this episode and am looking back. What if we are supposed to challenge the negative thoughts and not just brush them off. What if these thoughts are seeds the devil plants and because we don’t remove them or we ignore them, they grow to produce fruit.
What if challenging the negative thoughts with positivity from the word of God can help us break the cycle of depression in our lives?
