Our Side of the Story

Q: Hey Debbie. I don't really have questions. I didn't know you had a channel until very recently. Glad to be in your channel. I just want to appreciate your writings. Good job👏 A: Appreciate you🤗

Q: Hey Debbie , i have been feeling low lately i have been through this in the past and i went through getting my self drunk and crying and i don't remember how but i got through it but now i don't know what to do i can't seem to shut my mind up to even sleep and it is the same pattern as the past , i don't want to go through that again , what should i do ? A: None of my routines would work for you but hugs🖤 Be easy on you, let time do it’s job and try to stay healthy.

Q: I like ur answer a lot✨♥️ and my question is we try for things to workout and we put so much effort to get what we want , is it unhealthy to try for people and to make effort for people to stay or ...? A: it’s understandable, we don’t want things to end and for people to leave but it’s a hard truth we should make peace with. Try not to end things with regrets and say what needs to be said. If it’s inevitable, let go.

Q: Which world do u think is better? The 'real' or the dream world? A: None?

Q: How do u reach out to people, when u are feeling low? How do u do it without feeling weak or like a failure? A: I do feel weak, that’s why I go to them. It’s because you’re incapable of handling whatever is pressing on you that you ask for help. If you trust them enough, then it’s okay for them to see little shades of your weak moments.

Q: What do you think about dating apps? :) A: Ah genuinely, I never was bothered enough to think about them so...

Q: You found out ur lover isn't in any religion but believes in God. Or he is agnostic.what would u do? A: Not easy but simple, I’d let him go.

Q: How do you deal with your mental health as a christian? Many people assume that if u are Christian you shouldn't struggle mentally and it made me to question my spiritual life many times, what do u think about this too? A: Probably one of the hardest things I had to face is this. Being a Christian doesn’t stop you from existing as a human, therefore you experience the things human beings are bound to experience. I promise you you’re not possessed as they say, or there’s no some ድግምት and መተት done on you. You’re just going through an illness which will be given a solution in process. As for the first question, I try hard to separate God from my struggles. The mere existence of my depression and anxiety doesn’t define him.

Q: Hey debbs How is you? The question I got for you is....Do you overthinking stuff? And if you do How do you manage that and feel better? A: I wouldn’t say I overthink like I used to but yes. Overthinking is a game your mind, fear of the future, previous traumas all team up and play against you. You can’t change anything about your yesterday but learn from it and try your very best to make your future better. Usually when I overthink there are too many voices in my head; “You’ll hurt the next person that comes into your life.” “Your grades are not enough” “You’re not fit enough to have dreams so big” Speak against these, affirm yourself in the warmest words you’d like to be comforted. Baby steps, I won’t say it’ll completely stop but you’ll see the progress :)

Q: Have you ever been in love? Like how you seem to be in your writings? A: What are y’all on today lol And yes of course.

Q: Hey Debbie. How do you deal your love life and the Christian Life together? A: Let me just pretend you didn’t assume I have a love life and take this as a general question. I don’t think there’s an essay worth answer for it but prayer should be a firm foundation for the relationship, and let the Bible guide you. When I say let the Bible guide you, I mean LET THE BIBLE GUIDE YOU. People try to shape scriptures into what’s comfortable for them so they’d feel less guilty for the sins they commit.

Another let’s catch up sesh, ask away @DebbieTesfaye.

Happy Saturday <3

Someone said “I don’t know how to exist” and I wonder how many of us felt this. Don’t you just have days where your routines don’t seem to work out and there’s no pattern to follow and you just sit there confused? Like you have to remind yourself how breathing works and how it’s necessary for you and all?
