Quote by Philip Yancey

“But the three-day pattern--Friday's tragedy, Saturday's despair, Sunday's triumph-- became for Jesus' followers a pattern that can be applied to all our times of tribulation. Good Friday demonstrates that God is not indifferent to our pain; God, too, is personally "acquainted with grief." Holy Saturday hints that we may go through seasons of confusion and seeming defeat. And Easter Sunday shows that, in the end, suffering will not prevail.”

“In the realm of human suffering, where the boundaries of anguish seem boundless, there exists a torment unlike any other—an affliction known as Akathisia. It is a relentless ordeal that transcends mere physical pain, intertwining with the fabric of one's existence, shattering the delicate balance of mind and spirit. Within the grip of Akathisia, hallucinations converge, blurring the lines of reality and illusion, rendering life devoid of purpose and eroding the very essence of meaning. In this abyss, the nihilist within me emerges, questioning the inherent worth and significance of existence itself.”

“He suffers from akathisia. Although he knows he wouldn't go through with it, he frequently finds himself consumed by thoughts of suicide. He explained that it essentially comes with it; it's that simple. He thought that being overwhelmed and stretched too thin rendered him ineffective for himself and others. He claims it is the source of his most profound suffering and anguish, no matter how it appears on the surface. He conquers akathisia. As a result, he claims victory at every moment of his waking life.”
