• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

About my disability (again)

People oftentimes don't understand the, sometimes intense, mental pressure, or the war that happens in my mind. They don't understand why I have to put headphones in out in public, or why I can't hang out with a bunch of them sometimes, or why I have to excuse myself when I'm around their televisions or radios or am in large crowds a lot of the time.

The simplest way of explaining it is that they are not seeing what I am seeing, or are hearing what I am hearing a lot of the time. Due to how my mind is interpreting things, which can't be controlled, it's very, very much different from what they are seeing or are hearing a lot of the time, and they also don't understand that it's a constant war going on in my mind a lot of the time.

I used to think that they were seeing exactly what I was seeing or hearing a lot of the time, and that how could they not a lot of the time, cause I used to think it was so very obvious, so how could they not a lot of the time, which used to make me think they were also in on it somehow a lot of the time, which created/made further issues for me in my mind a lot of the time, but now I think that they're just not seeing what I am seeing or are hearing what I am hearing a lot of the time, and that they don't understand the constant war or struggle that is always going on inside my mind with it a lot of the time.

So they don't understand me or understand these things things most of the time, or why I can't be around these things anymore now, or have to excuse myself a lot of the time, or put headphones in a lot of the time, or why I should be on disability, or be considered mentally disabled a lot of the time. The pain/fear/anxiety/pressure this type of thing or disability inspires or gives rise to, is way, way, way beyond what is considered to be normal a lot of the time, and they also don't understand how it makes any other kind of pain pale in comparison a lot of the time.

Anyway, going to be sharing this with my therapist next time. It's nothing she doesn't already know or hasn't already heard from me before already, but I'm still going to share it with her this next time.

Anyway, Take Care Everybody.

God Bless.

(More on it, added later)

My own thoughts are always accusing me of just about everything under the sun always basically, or are always speaking to me in ways about other people/places/things that is almost always disturbing in some kind of way almost always basically, etc.

I'm constantly at war with that voice/presence/person in my mind almost always.

It lies a lot, and has to always be lying a lot, because there is no possible way it can all be true always. But that's also always very, very hard to figure out or discern in my own mind though almost always. Or discern/figure out real true fact from real true fiction a lot always. And there is also oftentimes not enough time to ever do that all of the time and always ever either, before the next thought always hits again always. After which all of the previous ones (thoughts) are almost always completely forgotten about after that always.

I don't think I'm ever alone in my own mind ever, etc. And some of them in there aren't always nice, etc.

Take Care/God Bless.

Oh, and one thing I forgot to add, but thought could be figured out by the very beginning of this, is that it's using other people's actual voices, and televisions and radios to do this, or noise or voice sources to do this, etc, and that it's doing that on purpose maybe, etc.

(And then I will probably have to get into why it would be doing that on purpose, or why it would be choosing to do it this way, but I think I'm going to save that for my next appointment in therapy maybe) (But there are a lot of very, very good reasons why a being or beings such as this would be choosing to do it this way, etc)

(As just one example, even when telling other people about this, they're still not going to believe, and they can still say that it's just only you, or is just only a problem that is only going on in your own head, more than likely) (As it even causes your own self to think that, or doubt that sometimes actually, etc) (And that could be a very, very good reason for choosing to do it this way, etc) (And that is just one example, or is only one reason among many, etc)

Anyway, God Bless.

I know what you are going through. My schizo makes me have delusions of granduer where i believe im the archangel michael fighting demons. I also struggle with self persecution, feeling guilty about myself thinking i commited blasphemy or something. or disrespected the holy spirit. ITs a war. ITs a struggle. what i have found though, is that hope is a life force. If you cling to hope, hope can bring you through the worst of times, and when you have a firm grasp on hope, its harder and harder to bring you down mentally.
Right now i am going through a stage where when i try to calm my mind and my body, my body will randomly twitch for a second. LIke something is pushing a button deep inside me to bug me for a split second causing my body and mind to expierence an accute stress response that is very minor yet effective to get me to shake or twitch violently for a second.
I was expierencing insomnia symptoms, but i just got back on my medicine a few days ago, and the insomnia seems to me going away. I have been finding it easier and easier to find sleep. Guard yourself and trust in the lord if you think your not alone in your mind. take steps to fight back and defend your mind, dont be a pushover. With the lord, he can build you a defense and help you through the not so nice voices in your mind.

And before any of you freak out and say "he's possessed by Satan" or "he has been overtaken by demons, or a demon", let me remind you that almost everyone who was a strong, powerful believer in God, or who ever did anything great for God, almost always had at least one of those always with them.

For example, Paul said he had an angel of Satan with him in order to keep him humble due to the abundance of all the knowledge or revelations that he was having, etc. And that God was not willing to take away from him either, but was something that he (Paul) just had to learn to live with constantly, etc.

And I'm sure that both God, and that entity, were probably both speaking to him during his entire christain life/walk always, probably up until the day that he (Paul) died probably, etc. Doesn't mean that he (Paul) was possessed by Satan, or any demons, etc.

God Bless.

i Think my mind and both your minds are quite a bit alike. A battle just to try to stay in reality and not be carried off to psychosis or something. But it yields good things, increase time t@ peace, standing @ the end of the day. Great exercise to keep mind straight, a good relationship, keep forging ahead with Jesus. Im not lost when I’m battling the insane flesh and a few demons. But God has given tools that we can use over and over again.

ive been this way for 62 years and it has gotten better and worse since I came to Jesus. You are my rock, you are my strength. and there is no thought broadcasting which is my main. Really don’t know what else to say because it’s indescribable and I cant recount the number of thoughts.
