My parents told me prayer would fix my mental health, but now I talk about my feelings
September 30, 2017
I grew up in a family where we didn’t talk about mental health so all the issues I was dealing with were swept under the rug. I was always told to pray about it because prayer solved everything and I knew/felt that wasn’t true. I wanted to talk about it and find out why I felt the way I did or why I hurt myself, physically and mentally, the way I did, but no one in my family wanted to help me with that.
