Mental health is attached to a stigma, your weak if you talk about your feelings. That is probably the biggest lie in mental health today. I spent years living that lie. When I first started have the feelings of being depressed all the time I reached out to a family member. They told me I should keep my feelings to myself. I did. Saying things like that is the worst thing you can say. I didn't say another word about how I was feeling until I attempted suicide 15 years later. One thing I learned that is the most important thing to a person struggling with mental health is to let them know they are not alone. You may have not experienced suicide in your life, but just being there for that person can help them so much. It can make a difference between life and death.

Hello. My name is Robert Gault. I am a Christian counselor and Ordained minister. I have been married for the past 11 years. I have 1 biological daughter and 2 bonus daughters. My bonus daughters come from my wife's previous marriage, but I have been I have raised them like my own since they were little. My background includes 15 years of struggles with mental health issues, suicidal thoughts and addiction. On December 28,2013 I fell off a roof and suffered a traumatic brain injury with a severe brain bleed. The Dr's gave me no chance of survival. God saved my life. God delivered me from my oppression I previously talked about. I have been symptom free and sober since the accident 12 years ago. God changed me completely from who I was before the accident. God called me to be a Christian counselor and I graduated with a doctorate degree in Christian counseling. I created this community for those who want to talk about faith, their struggles, the Bible, and whatever else you would like to talk about. This is a safe place.
