When we consider the suffering Bahá’u’lláh went through, including physical illness that took weeks to get over, it’s a good idea to remember that it’s doubtful He said to Himself, “What did I do to deserve this?” We should not fall into that trap either.

Excellent Adam, excellent. It helped me a lot. I wonder about my bipolar mental illness often, since I’ve only felt twinges of grief, twinges of sorrow. But for me, its realizing that for the dead person I’ve lost, they are are now in the heaven of reunion, and happier than we can imagine. So i think of that

I think you have made some important connections here that are very constructive between mental wellness and spiritual wellness. I am reminded of the the Hidden Word, “O Son of Man! Content yourself with Me and seek no other helper, for none but Me can ever suffice Thee.” But part of the healing solution can be the loving guidance of a trained therapist. I have benefited on several occasions from the wise counsel of several therapists who have guided me to new ways of thinking.

This was a wonderful read! Interesting how the Prophets themselves needed to overcome adversity as well. It certainly puts things into perspective. Perfect timing for this article! Thanks Adam

Many thanks. This is such a well thought out, honest and oh so timely article for the many people overwhelmed by the stressful events in their own lives and world events to internalize and reflect on. Would welcome a follow-up piece on what effect all the heightened levels anger and negativity is having on people’s mental health and how they should positively channel that.
