• 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.

Please help explain what it is mean as a lost soul inhabiting Hell. As a 27 year old recently becoming schizophrenic, I have had some thoughts about my life and where it actually is. Some hallucinations I endure are months/years long, reoccurring hallucinations almost trapping me as a lost soul. Although, I become aware and believe in Jesus Christ to lead me through this instead of my own eyesight. Nothing threatening really happens.. I just relive things over and over again as if I am lost.. becoming disconnected with history and current happenings. Stuff like COVID happening in 2020 used to be a past year but just changes to up to date times. Unable to tell anyone when it actually happened in my lifetime is beyond me and my ability, well forever.

If someone could help me realize what is happening that would be great. Since stuff happens again and for my sanity I try to take it bit by bit and only understand conversation as advice for a life surely ahead as it was before this started to happen. Until I get back to normal I try my best to stick to what I am being impacted with as this is super confusing for me.

Thanks, please pray for me.

Sorry to hear you are fighting mental health issues. i have suffered from Schizophrenia myself and understand a little of what you are going through.

PLease place your faith in God's love, even if it doesn't feel like that, keep on putting your faith in God's love. Honest it is the only way to escape the hell you are going through.

It may take years but building love for God and neighbour pays off big time and settles our ill minds like nothing else can.

Good medications and lots of faith in God's love will help you escape the darkness you are now in.

Jeshu, who responded first on this thread, left you some really sound advice. I just wanted to add that I`ve known schizophrenics who were Christians in spite of the handicap. I was very impressed by them. I know it`s hard. Trust Jesus no matter what, believe in the power of His love, do no harm and you will be ok.

a lost soul speaks to a wandering in a field caught between two mountains or same truth ...being lifted up , as in being caught between heaven and earth .... it is here in this realm caught between a beginning and an end were we are likened to being in a grave/deep sleep ...

it is between our ears we become lost ...

What do you mean you live it over and over again? Like groundhog day? Maybe it would help if you kept a calendar on your wall and set your alarm to go off every evening to mark the close of each day.

Yeah I hallucinate events on different days. So instead of Groundhog Day happening everytime I wake up, I experience stuff like the coronavirus occuring on different years. Yet documentation and people around me only witness the pandemic happening once in our lifetime. If someone were to ask me when stuff happens I really have no idea. I keep a calendar and journal of things that happen. I just get calendars as gifts that are the same just printed with different years. Having no idea if it is a hallucination or real. The post was just asking if this is some sort of Hell since I am lost doing all these things again or if it is just the way I think of it all.

I too suffer from shizophrenia about 10 years. I was lost in hell believe me. You have to count on God's mercy, to pray every day Jesus Lord have mercy on me sinner. Believe in the mercy of God He can lead you out of it. It would also be better if you find a community where you can receive the holy communion/eucharist. And confess your sins. Being without a community is too hard for normal people, but shizophrenic people especially are under big hard circumstances to be deceived and get lost. It is a hard cross. Most shizophrenic someday think they are lost. But this is not the case. Trust in God's mercy even if you feel rejected. Someday His mercy will definitely reach you. And give you from time to time nice peaceful daytime in your soul! May the Holy spirit come upon you soon. Do not give up!

’It is a hard cross’. @Philip1993 Good meds are very helpful.
Keep you calm when the things you said happen. What you say about time may be a delusion and the hallucinations very uncomfortable. There is plenty of time to work on ones self. Work on getting some needs met like SSDI for life long support.
A support group and therapy. Someone to talk to like a friend, keep trying to have a friend.
Jesus is our friend and always loves us but I am uncertain if that means to look to anybody else but Him, but friends are cool.
Jesus loves you my friend. Remember to take it all to Him in prayer. He will strengthen you so you get a handle on it.

Hey Jaxxi,

Thanks for the concerns. I am still trying to figure out His plan for me. As tons of things dwell upon endings and new beginnings. Meanings found after closure and inside my heart.. I can kind of figure out things here and there still. Sadly I just don't really have much I can do or anything at this point. Just seeking out the right things from the right people at the right time I suppose. I've even said goodbye to God as I become fearful for what has been brought upon me with deception and rotten meanings in the wrong light. Things meant to be what I truly am instead of where they are now. As I keep moving forward I look for days that keep my head up. Nothing will ever take away what is mine. My journey and life is blessed and never becomes what people may think it seems like with negative understandings. I just try to move on with the highest glory my God has given me.

That is beautiful. It must be hard to have things happen or replay over and over. That must seem like groundhog day! I often wonder if we could actually learn more about the spiritual world if people would listen to those with conditions. What sometimes looks or sounds like delusions could be insight to the world others cannot see and I take these insights very seriously. You cannot tell me it is all in a persons mind. I do not believe that. There is a reason for it but society is so quick to dismiss it. The spirit world is not layered in logic. This is a fact.

You're right about spiritual guidance. People shoo it away when they don't realize how things can be better off. Things need solid guidance sometimes instead of simply personal judgement followed by trials and errors. Looking at the bigger picture battling things from the get-go really puts it all into place when you start to lose yourself. For instance I don't really find wrong doing a good foundation for learning how things are in the world. To see God and His highest glory you don't need to climb mountains, you need to be true from the start. Spiritual understanding really knows how to help us maintain things that we may never even find.. yet guide us with a really beautiful ability.

I am lost as of tonite. I was nagged in my mind till I hated, lusted for the voices blood and wanted to murder it. Those demons took everything. I know I can repent and no harm done except to me. Now I reject every thought and feel like I don’t want God. But a life of this? I feel like I’m living in hell but not for real. I hear the Holy Spirit. this madness is not going to stop. It all came about becuz I got tired of sniffing. I hate this maintenance on a brain that won’t quit. I met my evil match tonight. It hates me more than I hate it. No rewards from being unqualified and nothing will change. I guess I have to sniff.

Here is the deal. The voice is lying to you and if you repent and turn away from the sin you will be saved. You have to mean it though. If you were a lost soul in hell, it would be like this. You would hear constant screaming and the stench is unbearable. You would see naked people in various levels of torment at the hands of demons, and would see them murdered over and over again. The body grows back after destroyed only to be murdered again. The pain is unbeatable. The heightened sense of fear and hopelessness is more than most can stand. You have all the same senses you have hear, and you completely remember everything from this life. There are lots af famous people there and they are in agony. We must do everything we can not to go there. It cannot be an option, and should be our ABSOLUTE main goal ib life. Nothing else is more important. It is like the devil said " In a short amount of time I can convince them to want what I can offer them and they won't care about what You can give them. Our God being a jealous God said " Alright. You can try but they must reject your goods to come to Me. They cannot have both- it is all or nothing." So every chance, read your Bible or only do things that glorify God.

When we repent of our sins, i.e. attempt to turn away from them. God's forgiveness is always there. As a Christian you are not a lost soul, you are saved and secure, the ocean may be rough, and the storms fierce, but in Christ you have eternal safety.

I used to think that but it is not true. We need to be walking in holiness and daily repentance because there are many Christians in hell.

They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Revelation 25:44


Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Matthew 7:22

In the last scripture there, the people are casting out demons in Jesus name. Those people are Christians. But the Bible tells us Narrow is the path and few find it.

Right now there are 2.4 billion Christians on earth. If they all get into heaven, it would not say" few"
