I really appreciated Elder Holland's talk yesterday on Mental Illnesses and depression. There are a lot of people out there that are dealing with a mental illness but are too ashamed or embarrased to say anything because they don't want to be labeled as "that person". I dealt with something a little while ago where I didn't feel good enough and felt bad because I couldn't be everywhere for everyone. I started feeling bad that I didn't have what other people had or the "cool" people didn't talk to me. I was trying so hard to impress people that I frankly, don't know why or care to impress. I started checking out. I felt like I knew then that I needed to do something. It was through counseling, prayer and scripture study that I started feeling better. Not saying that I'm all healed, but I'm better.
