Struggling with your mental health? I have a special letter for you
with Dr. Ebun Haastrup
The holiday season is approaching, preparations are taking place, and activities bustling but there is something else…
You find yourself in a place you really don’t want to be…
It feels like a battle is taking place…
Not around you… not on the outside… but right on the inside...
The battle of the mind.
It feels like you are in a prison not a physical one but in this case…a prison of your thoughts… a prison you so badly want to get out of…
Friend, if this sounds like the place where you find yourself, I want you to know that you’re not alone.
I have been where you are. I see you. I know this word describes what you deeply desire:
“FREEDOM”
I am here extending my hand to you, sitting with you, thinking about you...
About to present something to you…
A letter…a special letter.
A letter born out of my pain…
A letter I wrote during one of the toughest moments of my life as I struggled with my mental health…and thoughts that I so badly wanted to run away from…
A letter I wrote as I thought about you…your pain…and what you could be going through...
A letter I wrote during a challenging period in my life…when I found myself in a place that felt more like a prison…
Just like you…a prison of my thoughts
And now, I want to read that letter to you as I think of you and many others that have found themselves in this prison at this time of the year…
A prison so familiar...
Tune in to listen to this episode to find out more plus grab some encouragement along the way!
Sending love, prayers, and comfort your way…
I pray this episode blesses you.
Dr. Ebun Haastrup
Mental Health Advocate
Passionate Writer
Encourager
