Hello everyone,
My name is Trina. I am 23 years old and live in Minnesota. I have been on this web-site for about 2 weeks now, althought I have only been on a couple of times. Anyways I have been saved for about a year now, and I am so thankful to be where I am today through Christ.
All through my teenage years I struggled with depression and anxiety on a day to day basis. I also struggled with drug addictions since the age of 14. At one point I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and was tried on about every medication you can think of. I was hospitalized 3 different times due to my emotional problems. After about 4 years of being on all these different medications, I noticed that I wasn't getting any better and these meds seemed to be making my problems worse. So I quit taking them, which was hard because I had to go with withdrawals for a few weeks. But once I quit taking the meds, I felt some sort of an accomplishment, yet I still felt empty inside and still struggled with all my emotional problems.
So I began reading the bible, even though I didn't understand it much. I wasn't raised in a christian family, so I was pretty much completely lost. Anyway, after about a year of reading the bible while continuing to live my live in bondage with emotional problems and drug addictions, I felt the Lord's calling on me. I continued to ignore it for about another year. Then it got so strong that I couldn't even think about ignoring it for one more day. That is when I welcomed the Lord into my heart, and I prayed that He would help me overcome all the struggles I was going through. I knew I couldn't heal myself with my own strength. So the Lord first took away my drug addiction that I was dealing with, and after that healed me of my emotional disorders.
I just figured I would share my testimony, so you guys can know alittle bit more about me. I look forward to talking to a lot of new people on here, and hope to get some strong relationships going with brothers and sisters in Christ. Feel free to send me a message anytime.
God Bless!!!
