Hey. What is 'Pure O'?

Understanding how it is that God lets people have things like physical illness and mental illness can be hard...

One way of seeing it is something along the lines of 'what doesn't kill us makes us stronger'. Some of the most empathetic and helpful people I've met are people who have heightened empathy and knowledge in virtue of having been through hard times themself. If they hadn't been through those hard times then maybe they would't have developed such empathy and knowledge...

But that being said, it really can be hard and I'm sorry you are suffering so much right now.

I think that one way to view it is that God has given us much so that our time through it can be a little easier. He gave us reason which gave us science which gave us drugs and therapies etc. I think that it is possible to picture God as helping us by placing other people in our lives who can help us such as therapists and stuff like that.

So...

Maybe he helps indirectly...
