I read a lot of the Bible, so my head is full of information, but my heart is afraid. I feel like my heart can't grasp what my head knows. The joy of the Lord isn't in me. This is really common among people with certain mental illness like mine. We don't feel much empathy or compassion or happiness or contentment, joy or assurance or excitement. All the good emotions are flattened and the bad emotions, like fear, anger, confusion, anxiety and depression all come out. I want to have joy. It's a fruit of the Spirit of God. But I don't know what I have or am doing wrong. I've repented from some very struggling sins, and confessed them all, that I need Jesus to help me and forgive me.
