Feelings come and go. They are very important, and ultimately, define. BUT, in any given moment, or in your case, such as it was with me, for even a season, your emotions can lie. They can tell you things that are simply not true, and we want with all our might to have them align with the truth. We lean on them. We trust them. We want to give into them. In depression and anxiety your entire emotional existence will be a lie, and you just have to fight it. You have to do what few humans are capable of doing... live against your emotions for an extended period of time, without crushing them. They are going to making you feel like no one loves you. No one cares. Even if they care, you shouldn't because everything is stupid (although you'll remember a time when this wasn't true.) Cling to the truth. You can get well. Your emotions will never align one hundred percent, they never have. Yet, they can be normal again. You can love life again. Just keep fighting my brother. Keep fighting my sister. Keep fighting!
2 Corinthians 1:7 ESV
Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.
P.S. Yes, the song is meant to be tongue in cheek.
