my suffering

[dabro]

Thank you all from the one's who PM me to the ones here. I know God will use me in life. I just see people struggle with active things. I struggle with apathy that discourages me and makes me feel that I will always be in this state. Unmotivated and lazy........I don't know if there the psych meds I'm on but I haven't heard a testimony where God delivered someone from laziness.

Your very talented at showing your emotions with the written word. Have you ever thought about writing? Like you said, your dreams can put books and movies to shame so I think you should try.

I had these idea's in my head over and over for weeks. When I finally wrote them down, hoping for more to come afterwards, they just stopped. It flowed through me and was gone. I hope that you can do that with your pain. I hope you can heal from your time in jail. I know they say it is what you make it, but you can't make hell disneyland no matter how hard you try.

Try to find the right combination of Meds, coping skills, and prayer. I deal with problems too, but those things have always helped me. I had another account on here a while ago (before I lost my password) and I told you I, too, have Schizoaffective disorder.

How are you doing Dabro?

 

[dabro]

My bipolar lows are going away due to seroquel......Just more evidence for me to believe that I have BP I prolly with psychotic features.

I'm so happy to hear that you are doing better.

You probably do have bi-polar or some similar mental illness. You are not alone, there are people on this forum with mental illnesses and we are all trying to support each other.

You are in my prayers. You are strong in faith, even if you can't see it. You are not alone.

I know other people who deal with this by allowing themselves days off, away from people. Some will sleep for a whole day, and then feel all better. One person I know goes for long drives to a pond or quiet place, and just thinks.

If they try to muddle through a day with people, they end up exploding at them, or really being "off." It took them years to figure this out, because they had high expectations for themselves.

BTW yesterday I heard someone say that bipolars tend to have a hard time discerning God's voice from scattered thoughts. I seem to remember you saying this about your dreams.

Some day, we will all be free of infirmity. Look up! Your redemption draws nigh.

This is true because when I truly gave my life to the Lord I was hypomanic ready to take on the world......It had to take a coworker to step up to the plate and say I was sick......Had the best time tho lol.

Dabro, If you just started taking a new medication which I think you said earlier, it will take at least 6 weeks for you to know how you will feel from this medication. You are in a time of transition and in times of transition, specifically times of transition with medication, your body is getting use to it. Give it some time, let your body adjust.

Don't expect too much of yourself. One day at a time, right?

 

[dabro]

Amen, i was just thinking of that. I felt the need to pray just now, i felt called to prayer. I was thinking of my neighbor who's in the hospital battling detox and other health and mental problems, as many of us also face. So i prayed and it helped me. Prayer, even for others, can help us too.

 

[Restoresmysoul]

Praying for ourselves and also others, sometimes especially others, is a part of Gods armor. Without prayer, we are not completely dressed for our daily battle.

Ephesians 4 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

 

[Sonicwhite]

Yes God Jesus Our Lord see's us little ole us all the way.......I'm glad the seed fell on good soil with me....Praying has always been apart of my routine but I do it more today than ever.

my precious therapy cat....

Animals are good therapy, they make us laugh and they give us affection too.

 

[JGGray6]

I am on Seroquel too.. it really helps me sleep but it just doesn't do much for the thoughts and illusions.. and I hear my name being called at least once or twice a day and nobody is even saying anything.

'But it has also taught me to persevere. '
'.... and perseverance brings hope.' You'll be teaching St Paul next...

That's great, RMS. We tentatively feel our way along, until things become clearer.
