How Long?

Till It Stop

How Long?

Why is it still a struggle?

How long am I going to suffer?

When will I have more highs than lows?

Can I get more sleep at night?

When does the crying stop?

How long?

How long?

Can my brain stop replaying mistakes in my head?

Why do my body ache?

When will the fatigue go away?

When does it get easier?

How long?

How long?

How much can I take?

How long until I give up?

How long is the wait?

How long does it take to refill my cup?

How long?

How long?

    The struggles don't stop, they just change and we evolve. Our view of struggle decides our destiny, there's beauty in the pain. Life will never get easier, it just seems that way because of the darkness we've overcome. The harder life gets the stronger we get. How long will it take? That's the ultimate question, and possibly the least important 💖

    It can feel impossible to keep going with physical and mental health struggles. I pray you get some better answers soon. Keep writing while you wait. It's encouraging to others, and I know it helps the body to release the pain. sending love your way. 🙏🤗❤️‍🩹

    When you accept the healing process and believe the power of God's healing words. Turn away from the lie our depressed tired mind. Sending hugs and healing light.
