Summary

SummaryI was thrilled to become a mother, but that joy was quickly overtaken by terrifying thoughts and overwhelming fear. Living in Maine, I found myself imagining unthinkable scenarios involving my baby. It was the most piercing anxiety I'd ever felt. Though I was a confident radio professional, this was beyond anything I could handle alone.

I finally reached outβ€”my OB prescribed medication, and I was connected with a therapist who identified my condition as postpartum anxiety and OCD. Naming it helped me feel seen, but the true healing came later. At first, I doubted God’s love could reach my darkness. I couldn't feel Him through the storm. But in time, He showed upβ€”in the support of my mom, the right therapist, my husband’s job change, and the peace that slowly returned.

Now, I see clearly: there is no issue too small or too great for Jesus. I can feel His presence comforting meβ€”and my child. πŸ’–πŸ™Œ

Lindsay was excited to be a new mom, but her feelings of joy and love were instantly overshadowed by postpartum anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Having built a career in radio, Lindsay was a confident, professional problem solver. She quickly realized, though, that the crippling stream of worries going through her mind was something she couldn’t fight on her own.

β€œI would just try to suppress the thoughts… but I knew I needed professional help. I didn’t know what was happening to me,” she says.

Lindsay finally felt relief when she received prescribed medication and professional therapy. It took time for her to understand that she could receive healing from Jesus Christ, too, even though she believed her health issues were bigger than His love and sacrifice.

β€œI know now that there’s no problem too big or too small that the Savior can’t fix,” she says.
