Admitting it is difficult for me because I feel like I should be able to handle it, but instead it feels weak. It simply seems so frail. and how that is perceived.
Candace went on to talk about how feelings of shame can be exacerbated by how other people see mental health and sadness. Many people think it’s weak and will say so, so it’s easy to feel instantly ashamed and think, ‘Oh, well, if I struggle with this then I’m a weak person.’”

Despite my best efforts, I am unable to extricate myself from this precipice. I am unable to rescue myself on my own. However, it’s difficult to reach out and say, “Help me.”
Candace encouraged her Instagram followers to know they are not alone if they are going through something similar by posting this touching video. Psalm 34:17–18, which states that the Lord hears the pleading of the righteous and relieves them from all their problems, was cited by the speaker. The Lord delivers those who are crushed in spirit and is close to the brokenhearted.

I’m grateful. I admire your courage to say the truth. “Nothing is stronger than someone who has the courage to talk about this,” said another.
