The ONLY way we can grow, and become more like our HF is to have these "hand-picked" trials to teach and HUMBLE us...<BR/><BR/>For whatever reason, you must deal with your anger...For whatever reasons it may stem from, YOU must deal with your anger and find a way to "endure it well..."<BR/><BR/>On a personal note...If I didn't have "medical help" for my imbalances (whether it be chemical, hormonal, anxiety, etc.) I would NOT be a FUNCTIONAL person, not to even mention a mother! I know the great debate over these types of medicines, and feel that everyone is different. If they only serve as a "bandaid" to some, than they aren't physical or "chemical" faults that would of benefitted from them in the first place, to which I WOULD recommend counseling...<BR/><BR/>I was a "non-believer" in counseling, until four years ago, when an event in my life left me unable to get through a road-block in my life...WHAT A BLESSING IT TURNED OUT TO BE!! Now, I also KNOW that there are the "quack jobs" and "repressed memory" type of therapists out there...You need to do your homework!! I found a therapist who was serving as a Bishop at the time, and did everything in line with the teachings of the Gospel. He told me that he believed that, "Whatever I counsel people to do, I MYSELF will be held accountable for the direction I give them, which is why I hinge all my guides on gospel principles..." Now, along with this, the guy did A LOT of school to get where he is...He is an EXPERT in his field...(I doubt he got all this knowledge from a BA at a univeristy...) <BR/><BR/>Please know that I love you, and it makes me sad to see you struggle. But I also know that with the Lord's help, He will guide you to how to overcome this obstacle...You just need to be receptive to His answers, and humble yourself to hear the advice he will give you...whether it be medicine, counseling, or some other path that may scare you. <BR/><BR/>xoxo YolandaLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308067748781060331noreply@blogger.com
