This episode has a content warning. We speak about depression and suicidal thoughts. Counselors are available for those in need by calling the 988 suicide and crisis lifeline.
Zach declares, “Depression is not just the blues.”
Today’s episode of The Single Christian Women Speak podcast is the second in a two-part series in which I, Tracie Lobstein, speak with Zach, a single Christian man, as he shares his experience with prescription dependency.
He explains the support he needed from others, such as family, friends, and the church, during his struggle.
When he reached out for help, he discovered he wasn’t alone in his struggles. He encourages the listeners, saying, “They are not going to look down on you, call you weak, or make fun of you. They want what is best for you.”
As a single, Zach also addresses the question of whether prescription dependency would be a deal breaker in a dating relationship. Should he have boundaries in areas that he has experienced himself?
Zach’s journey has taken him to a place where he can now proclaim, “I have never been more connected with God as I am now.” Believe it or not, Zach has a few more supporting words to leave the listener.
Please tune in to the hope-filled message Zach closes with and find encouragement in his story.
