• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Perfect Lunacy

Lost it all: mind, friends, meaning, feeling. Can't tell substance from nothingness; meaning from meaningless. The barrier of reality and imagination has been shattered leaving fragments of my mind in the sight of my eyes. My denied attention from friends, family and females has driven me off the cliff of routine into the hole of apathy and pain. Migraines pulsate against my skull, escaping only through words that illustrate my true madness such as this confession. There is no meaning to these posts except to express my forlorn life of sensitivity and ignorance.

As I sin and transgress the shudders return to carry more of God away from my soul. I can feel the deterioration and relapse of my past self becoming more and more distant. Where will this end? End the immorality and sin! End the pain and suffering of those who crave righteousness such as I and let them for once feel happiness and peace of mind. Let the heathens and atheists feel the pain which has eluded them on Earth now to be found in the halls of hell.

I am tired of the battle between heaven and hell. Allow heaven to become vengeful and win the battle of good and evil. Crush Satan and all his fallen angels that hide in the brimstone of perdition. If Earth must be the battlefield, let it be so. Human souls are the prize. Now be on with it already! Why the wait? The wait that will allow Satan's army to arise and more human souls to congregate with evil.

If God is as powerful as professed, why does he not wipe out Satan and his rebel angels? Maybe because this is all false. False to the point of non-existent and surreal to the human mind. That these stories were created to put us to sleep at night or to tuck away assurance and to feel that there may actually be something worth living. Surprise, lies. All of it. It is more than likely that there was a God. A God that did love man. But that God is dead now. Decaying in his own realm and murdered from the negligence delivered from man. Satan now owns the realm that God once did.

These are the beliefs that have wondered in my mind, toying with my outlook and feeding my wanderlust for knowledge of the unseen. My outlet to this stress is through sexual desires and other temptations of the flesh and trivial sin; sin that I am better than yet still swim in for quick and instant pleasure that leaves within seconds. This struggle to keep my mind is meaningless.

Hey God !
I'm coming as your child, and I trust you.
Here's my brother, I know you made him with your own
hands and sent your so loved child, Jesus to the wonderful
earth you created, messed up by our sins,
to be killed by your loved creations, to die a horrible death
in his and my stead and adopted us as your own children
as we handed our lifes and sins over to you believing that
Jesus is Lord over all.
You know the rest of the story better than anyone else.
You know our pasts, our purpose, and our future.
You were in control all the time,
I can see it now but you know much better than me how
hard it is..
Father please help us trust.
You know the meaning of all that is happening,
whilw we think in our own narrow minded dimensions.
I know I don't have to tell you to care about my brother,
cause you always do. Thank you for so letting me expirience
the power of prayer, please give my brother your peace, love, joy,
hope, spirit, draw us really close to you and strengthen our faith in you.
I also ask you to give all the people around him whatever they need.
Please send him people with love and the rigth words.

In Jesus' name. Amen

OK, when are you going to start your book?  Hmmm.? 

BTW:  You have not lost all your friends.  We are here for you!

Very serious here, you have an excellent way with words.  I would gladly purchase a book written by you. 

Might you entertain the idea as a challenge to the intellect that is so creatively hidden behind meaning?

Your friend,

Lost 

 

Am so glad you are back also!

 :pray:

You know, there are alot of teenagers out there who feel just like you do (me for example), you just don't notice it because some are good at hiding it that others.

God will wipe out Satan and co when He choses to do so (Revelations), but the more He waits the more people there are to be saved.

The talk about death, God being dead, life being meaningless, etc sounds like you may be suicidal, please tell someone if you feel like killing yourself. Suicide is not the way to go.

Btw, you are a good writer :)

I just found myself just getting to sleep (its like 5pm) cause it seemed
like everything would be going wrong..and it wasn't even that much
and I just didn't seem to get over it..................................................
believe me there is really just one thing that is always always working and you can always depend on and thats God !!
Don't loose sight of the light of the end of any tunnel no matter how long and dark it is...don't stop talking to God..never give it up.
Whatever happens, the living God loves you, and yes he still has all power,
his ways are still perfect and we still can't understand all he does :)
ask him to carry you thru and help you go with him.
Father please help us trust in you. Give us all we need and
carry us thru this safely in your arms of love, all near to you.
Take away the despair and fear and give us peace love and joy instead :)
Please make brokenmach1ne feel better. In Jesus' name. Amen

you mean so much to me and what you mean to God you
can never imagine here :)

"There are no more barriers to cross; all I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it, I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this, there is no catharsis. My punishment continues to allude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself and no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant... nothing. " -Patrick Bateman, American Psycho

As you can see my writing is very similar to that of a character who is indeed a psycho. I also relate strongly to John Doe in Seven. He was also a psycho who killed sinners. The writing that the writer of the script had read in the movie is remarkably close to mine. I base numerous amounts of my writing around those who I admire for their writings such as Clive Barker. I guess I'm a pretty sick guy. I'm so distant from humanity now that I don't even realize my own existence. But when I call myself back to Earth I am blown away by an awesome wave of confusion and yet familiarity. These phases continue throughout my unimportant and dull life. Losing reality's touch and then reestablishing while the coup de grace is here waiting. The episodes are now a part of routine.

My life is now lived within my mind. I use the physical to just feed the physical and to stay alive to slake the hunger of mental interest. I lurch in my mentality and its limits. Nothing from outside is permitted in. Moments are spent dusting my mental library of books that hold my morbid knowledge. I'm not of this world. All my physical characteristics are but the mind that is housed within is not. Tissue that was constructed in the bowels of hell to torment the one unfortunate soul to be the tenant and explore its subliminal boundries.

You read my writings for entertainment. Thinking that this is all fake and no one is actually affected by such atrocious thoughts and bearings. Alas, they are. I am that effigy that is pushed aside until actual consideration is taken and then ironically pulled back under the scope for further examination and torture. It is madness that such a being must allow this slavery upon his own soul! How could I possibly end it?

People say to me that I am weak or just in the depths of a poor attitude. I tell you that my attitude has been optimistic but my eye omniscient of the real truth. How do you close an eye that has no eye lid? An eye that is once open can never been closed again. That is the eye which informs me of my futility and worries. Maybe the clarity of my degeneration is a tad clearer.

brokenmach1ne- I used to go into "similar" stuff (with my mind) aswell and you start to believe it. Yes it kinda calms you down but it's not true.
I pray to God that he'll give you strength to stop this and leave it behind you, to heal you and carry you out.
Maybe go get some worship music, something positive and 'godly' to read if you can.
There was a time I felt so fake and everything cause I kinda got in pretty deep. I was listening to some song by RelientK (Those Words Are Not Enough) and it was incredible..it's hard to describe I just felt so loved
and cool and realized so many things. I believe it was the holy spirit. I knew this would change my life and it did. I could just leave my past all behind (yeah it 'showed up' (my like old way of thinking..)again but I was carried thru. )
Oh wait I am not saying what you write is fake...it's just not true ! *HUGS*

please don't give up. there is a plan for your future and it is created by the perfect allmighty God who loves you so incredibly much !!!!

You say you're eyes were opened.... hey you gotta remember the truth is so wayyyyyyyy more than we can see with our eyes. God is the truth. Jesus is. When you're searching for truth ask HIM !!!

Keep it going bro.. I love ya and am praying :)

We don't read your writings for entertainment, we read them so we can help you, this is the "for those who struggle" forum afterall.

I know you're tired of hearing it but everything you are writing points to clinical depression, it is a illness just like cancer, and it can be cured.


I have felt and sometimes still do feel exactly how you feel, and I know it's because my brain chemicals are out of balance.

I know it's not what you want to hear, but it's the truth, I really do think you are clincially depressed, please seek professional help, a psychologist/psychiatrist will know what to do, and they won't lock you in a mental home or anything like that, they can give you medicine that will actually help, instead of the stuff that quack put you on before.

Btw, listening to music is a good idea, if you have Kazaa I recommend you download:

"Shout to the Lord"

"Best Friend"

"Awesome In This Place"

All are hillsongs.

Hatred, fear, and weakness are all tools the Satan uses to control.

They will not keep you alive, they will result in spiritual death which is much worse than anything else anyone can imagine.

Love, security and strength all come from a close relationship with God which is available to anyone who asks.

Jesus said in Luke 11: . 9 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 "For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. 11 "Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; F258 he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? 12 "Or {if} he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he? 13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will {your} heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?"

Jesus has invited us all to share in his everylasting love.

He promises his protection.

In First John Paul wrote: "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."

The traits that you believe are "keeping you alive" are the traits that Jesus wants to help you overcome.

you need to give God a chance to work in you.

in CHrist

In your profile you wrote that your favorite Bible excerpt is Psalm 109.

I can see why you have chosen this chapter but honestly, if vengence is all you want, why put yourself through hell. Why not do what Davd did and put the Vengeance before God. David was in some serious pain at the time much like you are now.

Later on he praised God for delivering him from his enemies. God wil be there for you, but you have to let him in. Keeping in mind that God's timeline isn't neccessarily the same as ours and that he will make your turmoils into something positive for you.

The bottom line is that you have to surrender yourself to God, because no one is strong enough to deal with the troubles of this world on their own.
