We know that physical and mental health are linked. But what I am (a bit late in life) finding is that both flow from spiritual health. This has beauty, gratitude, acceptance on the upside, and grace, mercy, forgiveness on the downside. The spirit of each behaviour needs understanding, and we have to stop making friends with our demons.
If I can describe the problem well, it is due to being pretty fallen, so don’t mistake wisdom for virtue. Indeed, the more fallen you are, the more the sky paradoxically fills the view. My sky is enormous. I still struggle with undesirable spirits, including wanting death when everything feels too much.
But rather than flail myself for the behaviour that follows, I am slowly acquiring the skill of focusing on the holy spirit, which is the only path to peace and reconciliation. It seems mental health professionals will do everything mind and body, and nothing in spirit, trapping you as a permanent customer.

Time can either heal all wounds or wound all heels.
I'd rather be more willing to accept surrender than die on a crumbling.
Time and Tide waits for No Man.
We all die alone.
But how do we choose to do that: either gracefully and gratefully, or Bitter and resentfu? Those choices are ours to make.
I say, Be Grateful for it All. Cherish your humanity and all of your experiences (Good/Bad/InBetween) for It is the story of your life.
And be gentle on yourself.
Life is hard.
