    Fasting

    Hi, at times I feel urges to fast (food), for something I pray for each day. I am underweight however, although not significantly so. It would be useful to hear if anyone has any thoughts around whether to do so or not. Thanks so much.

    Bear in mind, even if you survive your mental health issue, persecutions will follow?

    Hi there, So yes Mark 10:30 makes it very clear, that what we suffer for God and His kingdom will be rewarded but that even being rewarded, there will be persecutions that follow with that rewarding. It's like someone learning to ride a bike, if they have an accident on the footpath - running...

    Don't let them tell you, they have seen your future - illness is for a season, not every season

    Hi there, So yes, I have struggled with a diagnosis of my schizophrenia, for years. One thing that made it particularly difficult, was that the treating team (the psychiatrist and his nurses) would say "you will have this condition for the rest of your life", as if the Day I reach Heaven, I...

    I'm of two minds, about whether I want a mental health condition, in *Heaven*?

    Hi there, So yes, you can tell I'm an old hand at this, from the title. I have been on the ins and outs of schizophrenia for a couple of decades now and I have to say it hasn't all been roses.

    You don't need to eradicate your schizophrenic-ness, just make it workable...

    Hi there, So this is more directed, at those that were born with "schizophrenia" but it can apply to schizophrenic-ness that has been abused or maligned. The point is simply this, the Devil is the one that sets the standard of mental health at "completely normal" - but we must get angry and...

    Take it from experience: you don't want to just beat your psychosis, you want to tame it

    Hi there, So yes, a word of hope here: it is possible to tame your psychosis - in a manner of speaking. Initially, schizophrenia (for example) can be very wild and unchecked, but with proper self-care (meditation, diet, medication - to an extent - exercise), you can reach a point, where you...
