• 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.

@u2spicy All I had to change my security settings to allow the site you got them on after that it was okay. I didn't realise you could post from other sites on here, so my security settings prevented vimeo.com from loading your picture up in my browser

All fixed. Thanks for sharing

awesome depiction of what my mind was feeling like and can still feel like at times.....

does this describe you jeshu, and what parts of the image make you feel a certain way?

The image that describes my psychosis best is an image of the big bang for that was what mine was like. My reality got blown to smithereens! True such is an amazing firework from a distance but is hellish living it.

However the flooring part in a swirling cocoon as in the image on the aftermath of psychosis is also very telling reckon.

Don't know the artist who drew this but this is an amazing image what I live before a major psychosis robs me of my sanity and my good life.

('My welcome from Hades' is the title I give this image.)

@Jeshu perfect graphic depictions of a mind blown by psychosis, something most people cannot grasp, but these images you've presented can help to express the anguish and the fear and the horror of this experience.

Very excellent choices for me, as I can feel the fire and the fury from the images and the sheer terror of the second one.

Proverbs 8:6
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.

Perfect verse. Fierce.

I think this song plays it better.


I'm sorry, but copyright laws prohibit the use of this music. I can only use the music that Vimeo allows me use as they have obtained the copyright to do so.

these videos took me hours and hours and days to figure out and it was a gift to you.

Oh OK. Public domain music is fine.

Thank you so much for this gift. It means a lot to me. This is the first time anyone has ever made a tribute like this to my work. This thread gives me a boost in art confidence. :)

Oh thanks so much! Its hard to get copyrights for music so I worked with what options they gave me and I found Beethoven's 5th to be under the category of "dark" and it goes with the drama of all you've been through.

Have you uploaded your work to youtube.com?
