In this beautiful episode, Marin Canaday blesses our souls as she shares her own life’s challenges and struggles with mental health.
Marin Canaday is a successful Christian author. She has written two children’s picture books. Marin was born and raised in Clovis, California. She grew up in a loving Christian home with two believing parents. They went to church every Sunday and midweek for AWANAS and youth groups. She made a commitment to Christ when she was six or seven years old.
As a child, Marin remembers having intensive intrusive thoughts revolving around behaving just right. Just one little mistake would send her into a tailspin of shame and despair. These bouts would last for months to even years. No one had any idea as to what she was struggling with at the time.
During junior high, her mind was bombarded with obsessive thoughts concerning germs. She thought her germs would kill someone. She was uncomfortable being in close proximity to people. An accidental bump or nudge would send her cringing and apologizing because she thought the person may die from her germs. These thoughts persisted for about a year. Most of her struggle was on the inside. It was a war going on in her mind.
During high school, those intrusive thoughts continued to invade her mind. They were never clearly identified or associated with mental illness. It just appeared that she was a worry wart. She found relief from these unwanted, intrusive thoughts through sports and studying. She threw herself into both with great passion.
In spite of it all, Marin’s loving family did their best to support her without knowing exactly what was causing her struggles.
Marin graduated with honors from high school and college. She excelled in volleyball, winning a national championship with Fresno Pacific University in her senior year. She later married the love of her life and gave birth to three beautiful girls. She worked in the teaching profession with children with special learning needs for five years.
And then, at the age of 30, in the worst way possible those unwanted, intrusive thoughts came back with a vengeance during her adult life. Her world came to a screeching halt.
What do you do when you are fighting a war, as Marin describes, with half of your brain?
What do you do when you are sick of fear or sick of being perceived as a coward?
How do you deal with sexually disturbing thoughts and sexually perverted images in your mind?
Marin is here to share her testimony with us.
Thank you, Marin.
