Sometimes we find ourselves doubting that we can complete our foreordained mortal missions because we experience emotional and mental illness.

The Lord made accommodations for our divinely instituted weaknesses and has provided everything necessary that we may accomplish our missions and do so while working with him through our...
Sometimes we find ourselves on strange roads with a yoke to heavy to bear.
Doubt is the enemy of faith and during depressive episodes the chemistry of the body pushes the individual to doubt everything from their worthiness to their own personality. Understanding this principle of depression can help to overcome serious issues both physically and spiritually during an episode.
A relationship with the Savior and the Father is one of the most important aspects of conversion and mental illness feels like the perfect imperfection when it comes to the development of this relationship. There are however things we can do even when we suffer to better define and develop this relationship.
One of the more common sides of mental and emotional illness that often goes undiagnosed is Social Anxiety. It can be paralyzing to anyone who suffers but more especially to a church member who is required by commandment to be actively engaged.
Deep spiritual reservoirs require difficult trials. Our trials are given in proportion to our spiritual nature.
As we navigate the world of mental health, we will need significant amounts of help and aid. Three of those aids will come in the form of doctors, Mental, Physical and Spiritual.
Patience, while difficult to learn and apply, is the precursor to all other celestial attributes and is one of the pillars of celestial life. Celestial patience is the key to all other blessings that the Lord has for us in the eternities.
While we often speak of the Savior and his healing methods it is important to recognize the methods of the Adversary and the Lies He Tells Us. This episode discusses those lies and how to recognize them for what they are.
Personality disorders will not deemed mental or emotional illness tend to run high in individuals with mental and emotional illness. They are terribly difficult to eradicate in our lives and can be the source of deep divides and relationship problems especially within the church social circles.
While I often talk about how the doctrine and principles of the gospel apply to our lives and our illness, the practical application can be somewhat messy.
I hope that you enjoy this episode. It has always been one of my favorites and perhaps one of the more relevant ones to my life.
What is functional capacity and what does it have to do with our illness?

We are not sure why exactly Lot's wife was told not to look back or why she did but the command to not look back has been part of the gospel for a very long time. And for good reason.
Have you ever thought of anger as an addiction? It is a terrible vice that can destroy your life and others. And we who suffer with mental illness have deep tendencies to find our way into this addiction very easily.
This is the first episode in our mid-week series highlighting individuals who suffer with mental and emotion illness and are working to live the gospel. The interview is raw and uncut and you will even notice a solar flare problem during the episode. We hope you will find something inside of his story that helps you.
Have you ever thought that there might be a celestial benefit to your mental and emotional illness?
Have you ever wondered if God truly knows everything. Omniscience can be a difficult concept alongside agency but the two can live together. And when they do, the impossible becomes possible and the Atonement of the Savior demonstrates its divine power.
What does it mean to be healed? In my experience with healing and mental illness, healing is far more about the process than the destination.
