  • 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.

I lost all hope one day in everything and everyone. I had depression and my mind just broke under the pressure I guess. So the depression, according to my doctor, caused psychosis and panic attacks

People cast me out and i was a slave to sin and i had no idea how to escape it. I saw no God in myself because of my sin and I lost hope. I stopped taking medication That's when my deep psychosis started. I remember it well. I thought i heard God speak to me and maybe he did but I soon would sink into psychosis and stay there for a couple or few months. I was in bed most of the time. I wasn't sick physically just mentally.

Anyway I experienced many things and it got so bad that I had to get back on medication. Social media was terrible for me. I got off of Facebook and i had instant relief from my torture. The doctor said that depression caused it and that took a weight off my shoulders too because i was blaming myself as if I were cursed. And the medication helped.

But the interesting part is after this experience was over I was freed from my sin. God picked me up, gave me strength and a heart to resist temptation. During my psychosis episode i prayed that God free me from my sin so that i would know that he was with me and that he didn't forsake me too. He answered that prayer. Praise the Lord. I still need medication I guess but it's ok. I have so much joy, peace and love inside my heart. And I'm free.

May I ask what medication that you need and why you need it and what the result is if you don’t take it?

Forgive me. I take Olanzopine and sertraline. I'm not sure what would happen if I stopped taking it. I'm new to this so I'm trying to understand. I know I have so much joy inside and I dont believe the lack of medication can stop that. But I hear voices and I have anxiety attacks. I see no reason to quit taking meds. I'm not in a delusion, im just stuck with voices and anxiety attacks

Basically I have peace, love and joy but sometimes I have anxiety attacks and voices in my head. I believe that sometimes the voices are just my own thoughts. But I can't say if always that way. It could also be like thorn in my flesh for all I know. I dont have all the answers and I walk by faith not by sight.
