afternoon. This was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">my<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> time\u2014set aside for just me and whatever I wanted to do. It was a recent margin I\u2019d built into my week\u2014an afternoon alone, while my husband was gone volunteering, and the time was all mine to do as I pleased: read, crochet, listen to music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I chose to lie on the couch with the blanket pulled over my head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I recognized the behavior almost at once. This was old behavior\u2014from 18 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I called my psych nurse, the one who manages my meds, and through her assistant, got the message to and from her that my depression was returning, and I probably needed to increase my antidepressant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It descended as a blanket of depression that afternoon. Or, as my husband described it later, it was as if I drove off a cliff. It happened that fast. Within four hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or did it? Hadn\u2019t it been building all year?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A year of making withdrawals from my emotional tank. I\u2019d been trying in recent weeks to identify boundaries and margins and protect that emotional space, but I was already depleted, and each withdrawal was taking more, until there was just. none. left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">January\u2013March: dealing with chronic pain.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">April\u2013June: helping aging parents who live far away.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">July: vacation, but it was too long away from home, too hot, too much.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">August: recognizing ongoing communication patterns in myself, my marriage, and my family\u2014hard soul-searching efforts and discussions.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">September: two particularly difficult days, and the last of my emotional reserves were all used up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So maybe this afternoon of October 1st, curled up on the couch under the blanket, wasn\u2019t really a surprise after all. I\u2019d been calling it \u201cemotional depletion,\u201d but I knew enough to mention it to my psych nurse at my three-month check-in, so when I called 20 days later, she wasn\u2019t completely surprised that it had gotten darker and deeper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thursday evening, I was irritable and crabby. It felt like I was looking at everything around me through sunglasses\u2014everything had a darker shade to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Friday I increased my meds. But it\u2019s gonna take a while for me to notice any effects. So a beautiful day in the mountains wasn\u2019t complete joy\u2014I had to really focus and practice staying in the moment, or my negative thinking would swoop in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And perhaps that\u2019s what surprised me the most\u2014how quickly depression thoughts returned!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve been practicing \u201cthinking about what I\u2019m thinking about\u201d for years. Taking every thought captive unto Christ. Replacing negative self-talk with the truth of God\u2019s Word. I\u2019ve been practicing this, and teaching it to my Fresh Hope group, for years. I have charts and handouts with \u201cnot this thought\u2014think <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> instead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the thoughts that depression brings are their own monster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was thinking things on the e-bike ride in the mountains that never would have entered my mind two days prior! Like, as we rode behind the hospital, \u201cIs there a psych ward there? If I checked in, could they make this go away in a day or two?\u201d Or, \u201cHere we go again. And it\u2019s only going downhill from here. Might not go away this time.\u201d Or, \u201cI\u2019m such a downer to anyone around me.\u201d There were many such thoughts, just in an hour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I remember my therapist from 18 years ago telling me that those weren\u2019t my thoughts. That it was depression talking. And honestly, I accepted him at his word, but didn\u2019t really believe it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because these things I was thinking were so out of character for me. They were nothing I would have said to myself on Wednesday. And here on Friday, they entered my mind unbidden and sounded almost like truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Praise God that I had been practicing talking God\u2019s truth to myself over these past several years, because I was able to recognize that the thoughts didn\u2019t reflect what I actually believed. It was depression distorting the way I was seeing myself and my future\u2014depression whispering in my ear. The thoughts still came, but I didn\u2019t have to accept them as truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the hardest things about this is that I\u2019ve been depression-free for eight years. Eighteen years ago, I went through a 10-year journey, in and out of depressive episodes. And with the exception of a brief hiccup last spring, when my psych nurse and I dropped my single antidepressant too low, I haven\u2019t felt sad or down or depressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even that brief situation with the lower dose only lasted a week, and it didn\u2019t feel like this. Then, I was just sad\u2014extremely sad. But this time, it\u2019s all the old \u201cfeels.\u201d All the familiar patterns and thoughts and emotions that plagued me for 10 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s almost like an old friend, in its familiarity and, dare I say, comfort?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, it\u2019s not comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More like putting on my old ratty sweatshirt with holes and stains and tears. Ugly, yet somehow comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m trying not to give in to the comfort. Because it\u2019s not true\u2014it\u2019s a false comfort. It\u2019s a lie. Again, it\u2019s those whispers that depression is telling me:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCome closer. Sit down. Remember what this feels like.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whispers of a Siren\u2019s Song, luring me until I crash into the rocky shore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, I don\u2019t want to remember.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I want to fight. I want to stay emotionally healthy. Mentally healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But fighting looks different to me now than it did 18 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time, I recognized what was happening. I made the phone call. I told my husband. I increased my medication as directed. I went to the mountains even though depression came along for the ride. And when the thoughts came, I noticed them. I named them. I challenged them with what I know to be true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don\u2019t know how long this episode will last. I don\u2019t know whether the medication change will be enough or whether there will be more steps ahead. And I\u2019m trying very hard not to let depression answer those questions for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because depression wants to tell me that I\u2019m back where I was 18 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I\u2019m not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those eight years of emotional and mental health didn\u2019t disappear on Thursday afternoon. Neither did everything I learned during the 10 difficult years that came before them. I\u2019m not starting over. I\u2019m starting from here\u2014with experience, tools, people who know what\u2019s happening, medical help, and a faith that has been tested before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And maybe that\u2019s what fighting looks like today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not pretending I\u2019m okay. Not demanding that I feel better tomorrow. Not believing every thought that enters my mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just doing the next healthy thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then the next one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been doing well for a long time and suddenly find yourself facing familiar symptoms again, maybe you need to hear what I\u2019m telling myself right now:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recurrence does not erase your recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reach out. Tell someone. Call your doctor. Use the tools you\u2019ve learned. And when your diagnosis starts whispering that everything you\u2019ve gained is gone, remember: you are not standing where you stood the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neither am I.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And today, that gives me hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>If you&#8217;re struggling, reach out to your doctor or a trusted person.

They may have watched us cry, wrestle, get angry, make progress, go backward two steps, and then move forward again. They know pieces of our story that we do not tell many people.<\/p>\n<p>And then, sometimes, we have to say goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>I recently had to say goodbye to a therapist I trusted deeply. The ending wasn\u2019t because therapy had gone badly. In many ways, that made saying goodbye harder. She was leaving the practice where I had been seeing her, and I had to face the reality that this relationship, at least in the form I had known it, was ending.<\/p>\n<p>There is grief for me in that. And the strange thing is, I can\u2019t process my grief with her\u2014which is exactly what I long to do. Because she knows me so well. She would be able to help me make sense of what I\u2019m feeling and help me figure out what steps I might take next to get through it.<\/p>\n<p>Except she is the person I am grieving.<\/p>\n<p>We often think about therapy as something clinical: You make an appointment. You talk for an hour. Your insurance gets billed. You go home.<\/p>\n<p>But when therapy is good, something much more profound happens in that room. Trust develops. Someone learns your story. They remember where you have been. They recognize your patterns. Sometimes they see growth in you before you can see it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>And when that relationship ends, I think part of saying goodbye is looking back.<\/p>\n<p>Who was I when I first walked into that therapist\u2019s office? What was I carrying? What have I learned since then? What can I do now that I couldn\u2019t do before? What truths have become part of me rather than something my therapist has to remind me of?<br \/>\nFor me, I started seeing this therapist when I was experiencing chronic pain. She understood\u2014she deals with chronic pain of her own. And I wanted a therapist who knew chronic pain AND knew the Lord, because my faith in Jesus is an integral part of who I am. I wanted a counselor who would intuitively understand that part of me without having to explain my faith, my worldview, or why those things affected the decisions I made. This therapist loves the Lord, too, so we had that in common.<br \/>\nOver time, we moved from discussing how to serve the Lord while dealing with pain to issues around aging, family, relationships, and communication patterns.<\/p>\n<p>She taught me that \u201ccourage is doing something scared.\u201d And her faith in me helped me push past some fears and have difficult conversations. I did them scared, with lots of prayer that God would be my courage and strength.<\/p>\n<p>And He was. He is.<\/p>\n<p>I was sharing with a friend recently that the two therapists I\u2019ve had whom I consider really \u201cgood\u201d had something important in common. I could spill all these jumbled pieces out in front of them, and somehow they could take those pieces, make sense of them, and give them back to me with some order and structure. Suddenly, I could understand myself a little better.<\/p>\n<p>That is a remarkable gift.<\/p>\n<p>And maybe that is why saying goodbye to a good therapist really does involve grief. You aren&#8217;t just losing an appointment on your calendar. You are losing a particular person who knew how to sit with the jumbled pieces of your life and help you make sense of them.<\/p>\n<p>So that loss deserves to be acknowledged.<\/p>\n<p>I think one of the things I am learning through this experience is that ending therapy well means allowing yourself to feel whatever the ending brings. Gratitude and sadness can exist at the same time. You can know that something has been very good and still grieve that it is changing.<\/p>\n<p>But maybe there is another gift hidden in the goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>It gives us an opportunity to recognize that the work we did in therapy doesn&#8217;t belong to the therapist.<br \/>\nIt belongs to us.<\/p>\n<p>The insights we gained are ours. The healthier patterns we practiced are ours. The boundaries we learned to set are ours. The hard truths we finally faced are ours. The courage we learned to practice is something we can keep practicing.<br \/>\nA good therapist may have helped us discover those things, but we get to carry them with us when we leave.<br \/>\nFor those of us living with a mental health diagnosis\u2014or loving someone who does\u2014there can be another concern: What happens if I need help again?<\/p>\n<p>Ending with one therapist doesn&#8217;t mean we will never need therapy again. It doesn&#8217;t mean we&#8217;ve graduated from needing support. It simply means that this particular season and this particular therapeutic relationship have come to an end.<br \/>\nAnd perhaps part of ending well is knowing that asking for help again someday will not erase the progress we have made.<br \/>\nBut I also know I am not walking into whatever comes next alone. The therapist who has walked beside me may no longer be there in the same role, but God is. He was with me before I walked into her office, He was present in the work we did together, and He will be with me in whatever comes next.<\/p>\n<p>And there are other kinds of support along the way, too. Therapy is one important part of the mental health journey, but it doesn&#8217;t have to be the only one. Peer support, like what we find in Fresh Hope groups, gives us a place to be known, encouraged, and reminded that we don&#8217;t have to navigate our mental health journeys alone.<\/p>\n<p>So if you are approaching your last appointment with a therapist who has mattered to you, don&#8217;t feel as though you have to treat it like just another appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Talk about the ending.<\/p>\n<p>Say what the relationship has meant to you. Talk about what you have learned. Ask what your therapist has seen change in you. Talk about what you want to carry forward. And if you&#8217;re sad, let yourself be sad.<br \/>\nGoodbyes are sometimes painful precisely because something has been good.<br \/>\nAnd maybe the goal isn&#8217;t to leave without sadness.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the goal is to leave knowing that what happened in that room mattered\u2014that we carry what we learned with us, and that the God who met us there will be with us in whatever comes next.<\/p>\n<p><em>Peggy has been involved with Fresh Hope as a Group Facilitator for over 8 years and as the Hope Coach Trainer for over 6 years.

a guest writer for Fresh Hope, so I would like to introduce myself, share a little of my story, and say how I first encountered Fresh Hope.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful to the Lord that He has brought me to a good place where I enjoy a happy and fulfilling life. I have a mental health diagnosis and have been on a long journey of recovery. I was first diagnosed and hospitalized in 1992. I struggle like all of us, but the difference between then and now is stark. I first found Fresh Hope in 2024 during an online search for resources to help folks like me. I explored the site and found it to be an amazing ministry for people with mental health conditions and their loved ones to find the hope and help they need as they navigate life.<\/p>\n<p>God has been instrumental in my recovery. When I was 10 years old, my mother was hospitalized for the first time with a mental health condition. We had a babysitter, Betty, who told my siblings and me about Jesus and how we could know Him as Lord. That was the beginning of my relationship with Jesus. Even though I drifted away from Him later, that served as an anchor for my life. God was so gracious to send Betty to tell us about Him amid our tumultuous childhood.<\/p>\n<p>God brought me to Texas from Ohio in 1999 where He placed my feet on a path of healing. It was there that I found a church where the elders prayed for me on a regular basis and a particular couple ministered to me throughout a chaotic period of 10 years where I battled with a bi-polar 1 condition. I was hospitalized more times than I can remember. But Lois and Bill stuck with me through it all!<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, I came to a cross-roads through a crisis. Just prior to that He used Christian television to communicate to me that I needed to act on my mustard seed-sized faith, surrender to Him and trust Him with my life. One evening, I hit rock bottom and told God, \u201cI cannot do this life anymore! I surrender to You and I ask You to teach me how to trust You, because I do not know how.\u201d I felt the load from my whole life on my shoulders lifted from me. This decision changed the trajectory of my life from that point forward. I grew in my faith rapidly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Psalm 34:4-7<\/strong> \u201cI sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him and delivers them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I began meditating on passages in the Bible. Because I was so depressed for 2 years, I had only enough energy to meditate on one verse at a time. I wrote verses on notecards. I began getting up every day and creating structure, as I could not work then. My father passed away and I joined a grief support group. Volunteering at the hospice where my support group was gave me purpose. I found great hope in God and promised Him I would never again consider suicide as a viable option. I could not do that to Him, my family, or my church. I had once been in a church where Scripture was taught in depth. The Spirit of God brought some of them to mind. I found that doing what the Bible told me to do was extremely helpful. When I was overcome with fear, I meditated on 1 Timothy 1:7 and other verses about fear. I verbalized them aloud. I found peace that I would not have otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 Timothy 1:7<\/strong> (NKJV) \u201cFor God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My therapist suggested I record what had been working for me. I wrote a list of what I called: \u201cBiblical Principles for Change and Growth\u201d as a result.\u201d I will elaborate on some of those in a series of blog posts to follow. Amazingly, much of what God led me to do toward recovery is like what Pastor Brad and his doctor has developed in the 7 Principles of Recovery for Fresh Hope.<\/p>\n<p><em>Laura Smith lives in Texas and enjoys time spent with family and friends, painting, and outdoor activities.
