A recent lesson from marriage counseling:
Your wounding has nothing to do with your worth.
They are completely separate things, despite what your trauma or the enemy of your soul has tried to tell you.
Understanding this – trusting this, being with people who support this – is vital to healing and being free from the fear of not being enough.
It is so hard to feel secure or safe in a relationship when you struggle with chronic depression and anxiety.
But I want to tell you it is possible to have a healthy relationship and still struggle with mental health. It just takes a lot of work and support.
And your partner, asking and needing you to get more support from others, from a therapist or group, is not rejection or telling you you’re not enough.
Being told “This is too much. I can’t do this.” isn’t necessarily rejection or giving up.
It might be them giving you, the both of you, a chance.
