    It Was Kind of You

    “I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know...

    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...

    Schizophrenia is a neurological capitulation. My capitulation is from mind to memory.

    Hi there, So I worked out how to describe my schizophrenia in layman's terms: it is a capitulation. There are many ways to describe a capitulation, as there are many types of schizophrenia - the point being that knowing the particular kind of capitulation for what it is will help you relate to...

    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...

    General struggles, in popular culture? List them here!

    Hi there, So I just thought it might be interesting to list places when general struggles (in mental health, etc.) has been a focus of popular culture. Three references that come straight to mind are: A Brilliant Mind - with Russell Crowe The Caveman's Valentine - with Samuel L Jackson The...

    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. It started out with my sense of meaning slipping from reality and became a full blown delusion about...

    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...

    A common belief is that its a "chemical imbalance", but yet the conscience rebalances?

    Hi there, So actually I had a few of good insights into schizophrenia recently: one, that schizophrenia is likely to come with other conditions (schizophrenia +others), two, that everyone whether controlled or not is on a spectrum (a range of conditions) and three (the one I want to talk...

    Recently, I came to the conclusion, that I have "dysintellexia" - a thinking disability

    Hi there, So yes, for some time now, my doctors and other people in my life, have been saying "you have schizophrenia, that is why you don't make sense". But actually, my condition goes deeper than a simple "schizophrenic" diagnosis. I have dysintellexia - dysintellexia is the inability to...

    Schizophrenia, in principle, is an extension of your personality. It can be trained.

    Hi there, So just a little insight I have managed to get, after all my years (17 years) of schizophrenia: Schizophrenia is in principle, an extension of our personality. It can be trained, and it can be mastered. By trained, I mean we can practice meditation to the point that our cortisol...

    For support

    Dealing with this mental illness can be such a hassle I say from my self. Sometimes I feel hopeless and alone yet no one understand my struggle or the way I feel. It sucks to feel like you can't control it and it's taking over your life but those are just lies. It's your mind and you can...

    I don't know anymore

    life feels like a dream. Nothing feels real, everything around me is starting to feel surreal. I can feel my heart hardening, I know my conscience is starting to become hardened, and I'm just confused and dazed. Pain doesn't even feel like pain. I've become so evil, aint it funny how I asked God...

    Pray for Me.

    I think I'm starting to go crazy. I don't sleep. The world is beginning to feel numb. I cursed at my parents and I dishonor them. I'm so scared, I shouldn't have but I was so angry. I always feel bad. I'm starting to become this evil person. It's like the old me is looking at myself through a...

    How does one stop anticipating the worst and not give in to fear?

    Main problem I feel like I have a loss of control over my thoughts. I try to replace overly negative fearful ones with positive ones instead but a voice (in my mind) keeps telling me ''what if this fear is true? you should dwell on it to stay on guard'' and I can't seem to let go of my fears...

    Attack of the mind, oppression of the devil and condemnation

Before i was saved (has been just over one year now, Praise God) i was suffering with Obsessive compulsive disorder...
