• 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.

Lately i've notice that i've been crying in my sleep and i have a good idea what it is. Alot of my dreams have satan's signature all over them. Tempted to have sex, to kill people often i have dreams were i am falling from the sky. which satans trying to indicate that i'm falling away. Often in these dreams i have complete control of what i am doing. i can fly i feel the g force on my face and when i have these dreams which are probably 5 out of 7 days the fallin one is there and he has many many forms. often also while i face him head on and always say something like How could you ever think that you could over throw god and he says you have to see it the way i see it. another one of his lies was i ask him what was the war like in heaven and him or one of his demons says don't read to much into it. my prayer life has reseaded my talkin to god has decreased and the joy i once had is a empty pit of sorrow now either it's this distance that i have with god a attack of the devil or the life changing event i almost had four years ago. i went thru a drug induced psychosis and never in my whole life have i ever cryed so so so much over one person it's a long story but i thought i gave my girlfriend at the time hiv and this person that probably forgot about me but i can't stop thinking about her. i thought i killed her she was my life i did not know god and nither did she now at the time i admit i was selfish only thinking about myself and now i wish i could just be her friend i feel as tho i don't deserve anyone i have to many promblems my illness has taken my motivation away and this yearning to start a family is gone. yes it's true that i can say that my ocd has lighten up a bit but it has drained the life out of me with all the stress and guilt of telling yourself daily that you will never be with anyone and that you were meant to live life this way it begines to grow into a deadly nightshade that keep's growing now this crying in my sleep is either caused by these two thing's i'm so deeply sorry for the shadow that over this thread but i truly do not see things working out for me . I hope your love and kindness can be a anidote for me and reverse this wave.

I can relate to this....
I prayed for you.
Look up Revelation 12:10&11. Job1:6-12. Job 2:1-7 & Zechariah 3:1-7.
It helped me to be reminded that we are being accused, day and night.
But He who is on our side...is Greater than he who is in the world!!
I love the Zechariah scripture, it is a beautiful example of how we come to the Lord in filthy rags and He clothes us with "new clothes" He takes our sin away!!
Just WONDERFUL!!! Praise the Lord our God!!!

In Christ's love,
Q

Dabro,
Praying for you~
I was reminded of this Psalm42:8 which I think you can claim~
"The Lord commands his mercy during the day, and at night his song is with me-a prayer to the God of my life." Psalm 42:8 KJV

Also, let me say try not to beat yourself up about whatever has happened in the past. You know we pretty much all have some regret over what happened before we were saved (and sometimes after) unless we got saved as a small child.:hug::hug::prayer:

Hi Dabro :wave:

Be very cautious with dreams as the enemy will lie in them as well, give us seducing thoughts. Be cautious on what you believe. You say that satan is indicating that you are "Falling Away".

While I would say more but this is recovery and "Spiritual warfare" is not friendly on these sub-forums..All I am going to say is that be cautious on what you trust, and keep in prayer :hug:


guilt of telling yourself daily that you will never be with anyone and that you were meant to live life this way it

It is time that you stop putting this on yourself dear brother. It is time to say that you can live in peace found in Christ.(John 16:33) It is time for you to say that you CAN do this in the strength of Christ (Philippians 4:13)

Instead of looking at the situation as everything bad, it is time to look at it from Gods percpective if you trust in Him (Romans 8:28)

Confess this guilt and way of thinking to Jesus, forgive yourself and ask Jesus how you can bare these troubles in HIS strength :) He will teach you, I guarentee it.


i'm so deeply sorry for the shadow that over this thread but i truly do not see things working out for me

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Funny thing about our trials is, we never see things "working out" for us nor do we see the good things that WILL come out of our trials, that is when we ALL have to trust in the Lord. He will teach you many things through your trials, build your character up, strengthen your faith, teach you to rely on HIS strength etc etc.

just remember one thing :)

Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

and no matter what you go through, God WILL sustain you :)

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Do you know what Dismayed means, in context to Greek terms? It means to be mentally broken down. And that is what alot of us fall into. Let us not fall into this.

While I am not on the OCD forums alot anymore Dabro, my PM box is always open to you dear brother :hug:

much love to you,

James~

you are right when you say give to the lord my trial's and pains are at times are unbearable but i know the lord loves me so much but it's like i don't have that same disire to seek him with all of my heart,mind,and soul i've seem to fall into this comfert zone where my mind is always focused on the negative. i tried so hard in the beginning to do the best i could and i think my downfall to that was i was taking alot of pride in what i was doing. i say that it's ok to beat yourself up when you do something wrong because your whipping your self for that i didn't enjoy it but it brought me closer and closer to god but my faith started on shaky ground anyway when i went thru my psychosis i was completly out of touch of every thing i spent two and a half months in jail which increased the illness ithought i was being persacuted by cannibels and these loud commanding voices telling me to do things well the point to this story is when i came to know christ i thought he had chosen me like paul all the horrible things i saw and heard was god using satan to draw me to him so going two years of this strength from god and saying i must be special because he chose me for the first time in my intire life i felt loved i felt importent i saw my purpose what i was put here for but at the time i still had no clue what had happened truly in jail intell i started to do some research and everything changed after that my mind was sober icared about my health i wanted to know the truth and it was a psychosis that calling that desire to do anything for god started to melt away and i want that back i want that fire again in me i think we all have a honeymoon experience when we except christ but we have to grow he is there to bring us joy but also he wants to comform you to the image of his son. yes satans lays eggs in our heads alot when we are asleep but also i may be reading to much into it and also alot of my promblem is the narcotics they have me on there depessants and that thread above was just some thing that came to the surface i admit i truly want to find some one i can spend my whole life with but all the woman that came my way i asked myself becaused they were unsaved i said do i really want to be eternaly seperated from this person that i may fall in love with so i fled but now i'm more focused on my promblems and don't have time for that. well all in all i'll keep my head up i'll stay strong i'll thank god that what i'm going thru is for his glory and they are taking me off the valium becaused it's addictive and it really doesn't mix well with me thank you all for your prayers and being my support team when thing just seem bad GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Dabro,
I'm so glad to read this post. Clearly you are growing in your faith. I'm glad you know the Lord loves you. I'm glad you know that His love for you remains steadfast whether in the valley or on the mountain. I'm glad you know that your emotions don't define or change His love. I'm glad you're determined to focus on Him and His will for your life. I'm glad that you understand that nothing in heaven or on earth can seperate you from Him. Walk on my dear brother!
You have my prayers.
Keep in touch.
