6 years ago I was laying in a hospital bed in an emergency room because my therapist had forced me to go. I had told her all about the constant thoughts of suicide and the plans I had to kill myself by overdosing on my anti-depressants. That was the rock bottom moment for me. I felt so ashamed, so empty, so alone, and so worthless. I had been to 5 different therapists with differing approaches and taken 4 different anti-depressants. I was raised Catholic, but I hadn't accepted the truth about Christ in my heart. I believed that there was a God, but I thought he hated me and honestly I hated him too. I had felt crippling depression and anxiety ever since I was child. I hated myself, and the last thing I wanted to do was to keep on living. Then 3 years ago God brought a friend into my life that has a really close relationship with him. At first I didn't believe anything she told me about Christ, and I even used to mock her and make fun of her for what she believed. That didn't stop her from trying to show me and tell me about Jesus. Eventually she got me to go to Church with her. It took over a year of her dragging me to church, getting me to read scripture and pray with her, but eventually I accepted Christ as my personal savior and now he's my whole world. Through feeling close to God, I no longer suffer from depression or anxiety. I see the worth that I have in God, and I know that he loves me. God sent my friend into my life to save me and to show me the truth about him, but if she had decided to give up and turn away from God's plan for the situation, I might have never seen the truth. The moral of my testimony is...if you have family or friends that aren't believers and no matter what you do or say, they don't want anything to do with Jesus, never give up hope. I'm living proof of someone that mocked the person trying to witness to them but years later I have fallen in love with Christ and I long to grow closer to him every day.
