Voices at the Bottom

When we go through dark seasons in our lives, there is a little voice that comes and whispers in our ears, “You are the only person going through this. You are alone. No one else will understand.” And so we withdraw from the world, and keep our problems to ourselves.

The more people I meet who open up and share their stories with me, the more I realize there is ALWAYS someone else going through, or that has gone through, EXACTLY what you’re going through.

You are never alone.

That is a cleverly designed lie to drive you into shame, isolation and depression.

Do not listen to that voice.
