Hi there,
Yes, so just to bring the healing of the Lord into focus: we can see our mental health conditions, as they hang on the Cross. We can see depression there, bipolar, schizophrenia, autism, mania, tourettes, aspergers, all of it - we can see Jesus suffering for these things at the whipping and the whipped (body) hanging on the Cross. By His stripes we are healed (from memory, OT). The thing is that as people tormented with mental health conditions, we need to keep our suffering in view, in front of us - Jesus makes this possible at the Cross.
Over time, you will come to see your mental health condition, as Jesus saw it - knowing that you would suffer, to have been welcomed to be where He is before His Father in Heaven. The connection that the cross makes with Heaven, is important, it tells us, which words of affirmation we should reflect on, in connection with our suffering - our mental health condition. If we keep our focus on the Cross, we will see the connection between what Jesus did and what He said (and how He said it). This means we can see eye to eye, with others that have gone through similar things.
We do not need to earn a healing to our mental health condition, but need to accept what was done on our behalf - even if we did not understand it at first, all these things will fade away as we look to Jesus, it only needs to be said, "we kept the faith, we are united in what Christ did for us, as we even would do for Him, in the suffering we have come to understand is only of the world" when being of the world means that it is dull, and not of the Lord, not of the Holy Spirit.
Once we are familiar with how our mental health condition looks on the cross, we can begin to wait for the Holy Spirit to come, to cover the Cross with His Shadow and begin to shine the light of recovery on the righteousness of Christ hanging there, for us. It is not something we need to strain in, just simply wait in acceptance for, just as the Father receives the sacrifice with the Cloud of Witness, what it was that the Son sacrificed, that mercy may abound.
The Devil will not see it, will not understand the change, you will have to fight with him, once you have gained a little strength, but the Holy Spirit will intercede for you, if you trust Him - the Holy Spirit will not even once, ever let the Cross be sullied without propitiation being made for the lost that still have needed it. The Devil will not trust the work of the Holy Spirit, but in that our deliverance will be secured, because we will be able to turn from using the mental health condition we have, in the way the world would use it - to dishonour, shame and dirty the work of God in our Hearts, towards the Joy of being born in Heaven, where no mental health condition can hinder. We will pay a price for the glory we took part in with God, but for all that, because we suffered with Him, we will receive a greater place - one that the Devil, nor anyone with him, can take away.
So look to the Cross, begin to meditate on His goodness and in time you will be delivered - for your delivery was coming, even before you ever entered into a struggle over what it represented: the love of Mankind for the Gospel of God (in the Holiness of His Glory). Don't trust everything I am saying here, "at first" but let the Holy Spirit speak to you, what it was that was most important to the Word taking root in your heart. It is for you, it is for your heart, you will receive - praise God!
