• 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.

Really upset with myself (making bets).

The evil voice in my head keeps making bets and deals and I keep agreeing with them. Today in the shower the voice made two bets (one bet one way and one bet the other way) and I agreed to both, so I lose either way. I bet that I would do something and I bet that I wouldn't do something, so either way I lose. I wasn't trying to agree, especially with the second bet, but the voice kept saying "do you agree?" over and over again until I finally agreed. Now I feel like I am doomed because I lose either way. I don't know what to do.

I really hate myself for agreeing to these bets. I feel like an idiot for doing it. I'm really angry at myself for screwing up like this. I really hate myself.

Thank you for reading,

SnowTiger

I talk with my guidance counselor at school. He's a christian and he helps me. He says that the bets can be forgiven. I guess I should try to listen to all the people who say the bets don't count.

I just don't understand. If the bets are forgiven, why does the evil voice keep making them all day long?

Sorry, sometimes I just vent about things. I really wish the medication I take would cure me of the voices. The medication helps, but I still hear voices all day long.

Thanks,

SnowTiger

Hi SnowTiger,

The only way to get rid of those evil influences in your head is to `REPENT.` Go before the Lord and repent of allowing these things to come upon you. When you repent you are turning to the Lord by your will and giving Him the authority to cut off these things from your life.

They will still try for a bit to make you think they still have the power, but stand strong in the Lord and claim the victory in Jesus that He has the authority over your life and they do not.

praying, Marilyn.

I really need to have more faith. I keep believing in the devil for some reason. I'm not very strong in the Lord.

I hear the devil's voice in my head all day and he keeps making bets and deals with me. He keeps trying to fool me into an agreement and sometimes I fall for it and it makes me really angry with myself.

Hi SnowTiger,

No, you need to repent. Focus and don`t make excuses.

I speak strongly as I want you to be delivered from these evil influences.

Let your yeses be yes and your nos be no. It doesn't sound like you were actively agreeing with the "voices" in your head at the time. So you're fine. Don't be too hard on yourself. You should probably pray about these thoughts to God. God may be growing you. They seem normal enough, we all have them. Don't be anxious. Blessings

I think I have OCD and Schizophrenia because I hear voices and I also obsess a lot over things. I also wash my hands like 30 times per day sometimes. My psychiatrist gave me Prozac for OCD, but I haven't been taking it.

Remember you are not to be held accountable for feeling tricked or giving into these voices. What matters most is any commitment or agreement you have made with God. Your mental illness sounds very difficult but these voices cannot take away your salvation with you when they torment you. I pray that you find peace and that these voices cease soon.
