  1. I survived my suicidal attempt when I was 18. 🙏I am so grateful that I didn’t die even though I became paralyzed. By God’s Grace, my mental health is excellent now. If you are depressed, I hope you will not give up, it’s a treatable medical condition. If I can recover, anyone is able to potentially. Sharing my experience here https://youtu.be/xi-on4PmKuE

  2. Depression is a demonic spirit. Jesus is the only way to break those chains

  3. This isn’t helping these in-tiled kids for the life to come. They need to learn to deal with life.

  4. Digital therapy we really sunken low as a society

  5. More problems liberals are creating.

  6. I'm old enough to remember that life was so much better before computers and social media became an everyday part of our lives. I really miss those days.😏

  7. If I was a teenager who got to stay home and away from other teens in school I would have been the happiest person in the world. Also, "digital therapeutics" is no substitute from actual people. An app? For mental health? Absurd.

  8. Shout out to George Floyd on 624 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!

  9. End fear-mongering Reporting would help also

  10. The whole truth about the coronavirus. Watch the video you will be shocked EVERYDAYS.CF 2021 was an action-packed year I got a feeling 2022 is going to get even crazier /-10
