Is There a Difference Between Worry and Anxiety?

In: Mental Health on: March 15, 2021

IS ANXIETY A SIN? Ask your average Christian if anxiety is a sin, and they can quote you a number of verses that point to an obvious yes. For the sake of brevity, let’s just focus on the words of Jesus in LUKE 12:25-26 – “Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And if worry can’t …

What Life with Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures is Like

In: Chronic Illness on: November 2, 2020

“You don’t have real seizures. Nobody in the neurology arena can help you. You have a mental health condition, not a real one.” My life was rocked in 2013 with those exact words. I had just spent three days in the hospital, where my seizures were being monitored by video and by brain wave …

The Thief of my Freedom & Dignity

In: Uncategorized, What's Normal? on: August 24, 2017

I remember the exact day freedom was taken from me, perhaps never to return. I will never forget the sense of loss in that moment, when I came face to face with the reality of my illness. I have a seizure disorder, but until this particular moment in August 2012, I mistakenly believed life could …
