The first thing I want to let you know is that healing is possible.
Healing takes time and it is a journey, not a destination. Last semester, I was in the hospital four times, which added up to about 5 to 6 weeks of missed classes. I thought the drama would never end. I thought the chaos was inevitable and neverending.
But I made it through and I am on the other side now... or at least getting there. I am back in school, more stable and ready to conquer my courses. I feel finally as if I am putting last semester behind me.
Healing is hard work and you have to work at it. It may seem difficult or even futile at some times, but I can tell you from experience that it is worth it. God can help tremendously if you lean on Him through it all.
The Bible verse below reminds me often that healing is possible with God's help; that if we give him all our fears, our doubts, our struggles,and our pain, He can truly transform our lives and lift us up.
We do not have to struggle alone.
I want you to know that you are loved. You are loved beyond your wildest imagination by God. And He wants to help you heal. He wants to help you through your struggles. He is always there, just a prayer or a call away.
I say all of this because I know what it is like to be through the healing journey. I know what it is like to be healed and transformed. I'm going through it right now. In the past few days, I've had less flashbacks than I've had all year. I am being healed from paranoia, psychosis, mania and depression. It's been a hard road but the transformation and healing I am going through is incredible and extraordinary.
I truly am being lifted out of the pit. And my prayer for you is that you will be healed as well, no matter what you are going through. That you will lean on God through it all and find your comfort in Him.
Be lifted up...
Sincerely,
C.L. Kowal
