When Spirituality and Mental Health Get Confused, It Hurts Us All

As someone who lives with mental health challenges, it’s disheartening to see mental illness dismissed as just a spiritual experience. I came to this sub hoping for healing and understanding, but instead, I often feel unsafe and unwelcome. It’s lonely and scary when people claim hearing or seeing things is always an awakening, ignoring real medical needs. Spirituality can help, but please don’t dismiss mental health. We need honest conversations and respect for science, too. Have you felt this way here? Let’s talk about it below. #MentalHealthMatters #SpiritualityAndScience #SafeSpaces #HealingJourney #Spirituality

How Daily Walks Changed My Mind and Body at 23

At 23, I’ve faced my share of mental health struggles. For the longest time, I rolled my eyes whenever someone suggested going for a walk to feel better. It sounded too simple to be true. But recently, I decided to give it a shot—10,000 steps a day. The difference has been real. My mind feels clearer, my mood lighter, and my body stronger. If you’re on the fence, just try it. Walking really can be a game changer. Have you noticed any changes from daily walks? Share your experience below! #MindfulLiving #HealingJourney #SpiritualGrowth #MentalHealthMatters #Spirituality

How My Dad’s Yelling Made Me Fear Driving—And How I’m Healing

When I was 17, my dad insisted on teaching me to drive. Every lesson ended in tears—he’d yell, curse, and accuse me of not trying. I’d show up to campus with mascara streaks, shaken and dreading the next drive. Years later, I still freeze up behind the wheel, even with my grandpa or boyfriend. I want to overcome this fear, so I’m taking baby steps: practicing in empty lots, using calming music, and reminding myself it’s okay to make mistakes. Has anyone else struggled with this? What helped you feel safe driving again? Share your tips below! #DrivingAnxiety #HealingJourney #OvercomingFear #ParentingImpact #MentalHealth #Cars

The Night Everything Changed: My Journey Through Loss and Healing

I need to get this off my chest, so please forgive my grammar as I type. July 1st, 2021, was the darkest day of my life. After a painful fight with my boyfriend, our two-year relationship ended, and I had to move out of our shared home. That same day, I lost my beloved cat to renal failure. The pain was so deep, I felt like I couldn’t cry anymore. But my family and friends refused to let me stay down. I’ve started to walk, do yoga, and make healthier choices. I can finally see a glimmer of hope, even if the pain still lingers. If you’ve been through something similar, I’d love to hear your story.

Losing My Love and Best Friend in One Day: How Do I Heal?

Not much else to say—lost my best friend and the girl I thought I’d marry, all in one day. I’ve cut them both off for good. I’m an amateur MMA fighter, a full-time student, I work, and I go to therapy, so I keep myself busy. Still, when everything gets quiet, my mind feels like it’s spiraling. If anyone has advice on keeping my mind healthy and finding peace, I’d really appreciate it. How do you handle heartbreak and betrayal?

How My Divorce Became the Catalyst for My True Transformation

Six months ago, I divorced my ex-wife after a toxic, abusive relationship that drained me for years. I tried everything, even eight months of couples therapy, but I knew deep down it was time to walk away. After leaving, I made a promise to myself: no more excuses. I hit the gym hard, cleaned up my diet, focused on my career, and finally broke free from old addictions. Now, I’m in the best shape of my life—physically and mentally. Funny thing is, even though I get more attention than ever, I feel numb to relationships. Maybe that’s just part of the healing. Has anyone else felt this way after a big life change?

Let Go of Yesterday: Embrace Who You Are Becoming

The past is the past for a reason—it’s just a memory, not your destiny. Sometimes, old mistakes sneak up and try to define us, but don’t let them. Every regret and moment of overthinking is a sign you care and want to grow. Healing takes time, but forgiving yourself is the first step. Remember, you’re not your past. You’re the person who’s learning, healing, and moving forward. How do you remind yourself to focus on today?

How Do You Know If You Really Want Kids?

Lately, I’ve been reaching the age where I have to seriously consider if I want children. I keep asking myself: Is this something I truly want, or just what society expects of me? My mental health struggles make me worry I won’t be a good mom or give a child the happy childhood I never had. My friend is so sure she wants kids because her own childhood was filled with love. I wish I felt that certainty. Sometimes, I’m scared I’ll mess up or feel trapped by the responsibility. Has anyone else felt this way? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments. #spiritualgrowth #innerjourney #parentingquestions #healingjourney #Spirituality

8 Odd Habits Linked to Emotional Neglect
