      isn't just what you do but what you don't do. Not just what you did but how you did it. Not just what you said but how you said it. Love is so simple yet the simple make it so hard. Love Is full of knowledge yet even the smart don't get it. Love doesn't cost a fortune yet fortunes are spent trying to gain it. Love does demand of you yet you are not willing to sacrifice for it. Those who only seek what love can give and do for them, do nothing for love and others and in such selfish pursuit, in turn rob themselves of love's best gift. Make this year the year you seek to sow love and not just reap it. Be love and not just think it. Do love and not just say it. Talk love and just don't fake it. Seek love and just don't chase it. Embrace it but don't enslave it, share it but don't dare boast in it. Enjoy it but don't abuse it. Free it and watch it come back. Invest in it and watch it pay back. Wash your life in it, light your darkness with it, eat your food with it conduct your business with it and above all else Serve God in it. For whatever love is and is not, it's all of, for and From Him. He is LOVE! "

    Before Tyler Perry, if anybody knows growing up going to church, Tamela Mann was with Kirk Franklin & The Family along with David. Now look at them. I listen to the Kirk Franklin CDs in the 90s and Tamelas vocals stand out. I commend David for acknowledging his depression. And he’s right, there is a stigma in the black community about therapy. I grew up in a house like that, and had to break the cycle. Good for him

      On the isle of man when a man is alone face to face with every part of himself. When he
      Ceases seeing himself thru the lenses of other's eyes and instead through his own. When he resigns himself to defining himself by the prejudices or biases of others, regardless of their populists I'll concieved predilection. When he understands that the pursuit of his person is not nor should be the pursuit of sex,revelry,drunkenness, adrenaline,power or money but rather purpose mission and a noble passion. When this man understands this, then this man becomes "The Man". For only through the Eyes of his Creator, Lord, God,Father and King can this man fully embrace and do what he was created and designed for.

      I seriously know this feeling. I'm naturally a witty, bubbly person, but sometimes you're hiding a lot underneath. I've had depression for years and at times it felt as though I was constantly drowning.
      It was intermittent. I had good days and then suddenly slump into a deep, dark place. I'm a Gospel Singer, so often times singing is what got me through along side the grace of God.
      People definitely need to talk more openly about it, so that people know they're not alone. I pray for all those struggling with depression. Only you know how it feels when you go through it.
      I love David and Tamela as a couple. They're so relatable and likeable.

Anything can cause depression from not eating correctly, lack of hydrating with water constantly, Vitamin deficiency, not accepting that you can't do it all, having to constantly deal with toxic people esp if you're a passive person,food allergies, too much processed food, diet too high in sugar, lack of exercise esp if you have a combination of the following issues going on at once, food allergies, too much process food, a diet high sugar or fried food not mention constantly seeing men in your community die at the hands of police which would take an emotional toll on any BM even if you're a born again Christian BM.

    Depression is so hard to deal with, its so tiring, it's like carrying a bag of bricks with you everywhere you go! It makes you think negatively, it makes it hard to do everything! even something as simple as washing dishes or going outside. Depression manifests when there's a core issue not being addressed, that's why therapy is so helpful so you can work out why you feel the way you do and then take action to remedy it!

      “ depression manifest when there was a core issue not being addressed” 💯 the real estate statement I’ve ever heard of my life…. But when the person that’s making you depressed won’t even allow you to speak about it to even hear you out so that you can move forward and leave the depression where it is then it sticks! Why don’t people understand that sometimes all they have to do is listen that can help a person have a breakthrough and heal! I can’t wait till the day I can finally have peace and happiness and no longer be depressed I don’t even know what it feels like anymore to live without depression!! my baby‘s father has been so verbally abusive to me the past few years ever since we’ve had a child together but prior to that for so many years he was loving caring and a protector the child with me was what he wanted since then he’s done nothing but tear me down in every way possible I haven’t heard a kind word in years and I’m so broken behind it

    We as a Black community need to have honest conversations about mental health. A lot of the bad choices we make are because of internalized issues we don’t feel we have the bandwidth to tackle. We overeat, we drink, sometimes we do illicit drugs or get involved in counterproductive relationships because we don’t want to face the internal issues in ourselves. I’m here to tell you IT IS OKAY. We don’t have to keep it all on and put on the brave face and just March March on.

      To not love deeply is to not love at all. I cannot love on part nor in half. I cannot love holding back or hidden. Only openly, honestly, sincerely and devotedly or else it isn't love. For love is without selfishness but rather selfless. It does not seek gain but gives. It doesn't take but sacrifices freely of its own for the good of that which it loves. It is too deep to measure, too high to ascend and so wide that you can never truly comprehend it or embrace it. It's least expression is greater than all the gold you could amass. Should you ever meet it or even glimpse it, find yourself in its presence or to have been the object of its affection, know then that you have lived more than a lifetime to have found it, for some have never crossed it's path or ever felt it's touch. Some were blind to see it although it was along side them. Others were deaf to hear it for they drowned it's soft whisper in the noise of the crowd. Still many ignored it though it called to them and beckoned them to come. Rejecting it's invitation and in so doing chose to wander alone, restless on a bed or sadness, leaving love Abandoned, without a heart to make its home. Be grateful, for you have and now are forever changed, forever Loved!❤

I'm 61, been dealing with it since I was very young. Mental Health is a big issue but the bigger issue is our insurance doesn't cover most of it.i was a fixer and a person that wanted people to be happy.

    I applaud David Mann for being courageous enough to speak his truth. Tamela Mann is an amazing woman for sticking by him and wholeheartedly supporting him. They are an excellent example of what supporting your partner should look like.
    Mental health issues are REAL. If you aren’t strong enough SOME church people will inadvertently cause you to abort God’s true plan for your life and exit this world by your own hands. I experienced that after the death of my youngest son. I was emotionally overwhelmed and didn’t seek the counseling that I needed because I was encouraged to “pray and give it to God. I held on to needing to be here for my oldest son and pulled through it, depression seriously almost took me out of here.

      Agreed. I use to say it was a mind thing. As one who is pregnant and suffering from it, I can say it’s a brain thing, I’ve been procrastinating about getting up to get a job since I quit my job when I found out I was expecting(job was too hard on my body). I want to do music, I’m 26 and I wanted another baby but it just feels like I’m running out of time, I thought I would be a big star by now and it messes my head up BAD. I expect too much from people who don’t really have my best interest and that’s also 1 of my biggest issues.

Plus I'm a man so we aren't "suppose" to be down or in a rough spot we're just told man up and shake it off. I pray and pray and pray but I just can't seem to move my feet. I really hope I shake back and become me again especially for my kids. Also I want to let any else going through this to remain strong because this to shall pass

      To not love deeply is to not love at all. I cannot love on part nor in half. I cannot love holding back or hidden. Only openly, honestly, sincerely and devotedly or else it isn't love. For love is without selfishness but rather selfless. It does not seek gain but gives. It doesn't take but sacrifices freely of its own for the good of that which it loves. It is too deep to measure, too high to ascend and so wide that you can never truly comprehend it or embrace it. It's least expression is greater than all the gold you could amass. Should you ever meet it or even glimpse it, find yourself in its presence or to have been the object of its affection, know then that you have lived more than a lifetime to have found it, for some have never crossed it's path or ever felt it's touch. Some were blind to see it although it was along side them. Others were deaf to hear it for they drowned it's soft whisper in the noise of the crowd. Still many ignored it though it called to them and beckoned them to come. Rejecting it's invitation and in so doing chose to wander alone, restless on a bed or sadness, leaving love Abandoned, without a heart to make its home. Be grateful, for you have and now are forever changed, forever Loved!❤
