"Feelings are real, but that does not make them reality."
I don't remember who it was that shared those valuable words of wisdom with me at some point along this journey. It was a few weeks ago, I believe, but just recently the words have been echoing through my head and bouncing around in me.
I've realized that this illness is mostly and primarily a mental illness- and it is my feelings that are wearing and tearing me down.
Feelings are so powerful, if they have the ability to destroy a person the way they have me.
While they are also valuable, in my case, they are detrimental.
My feelings have clouded my view of reality and have brought much pressure, trial, and tribulation in my life.
I need to remember that what is going on in my head is not reality.
Reality is, I have a God who loves me, a Savior who died for me, and a life worth living.
