Nature of An Illness

Depressed as if dead
What my brain said!

Just don't lay around
Without making a sound

Seems weird what the mind can conceive
Still a Christian I believe!

Still have to take at least a pill
But being mentally ill may be God's will

Might be weaker if without
Being strong is what life's about!

Yes, you are still a Christian..Being mentally ill or having a mental sickness is no different than having diabetes or some other illness..One just has to see a mental health provider very often and take the meds..Enjoyed your work..Sara
