• 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.

I'm sitting here in tears because I can't stop hearing the voices screaming in my head and I get so depressed about it. I've been dealing with it for over 22 years straight and I have been on every medication under the sun. I pray to God every day and so does my uncle that these voices go away. I see black shadows jump at me and it makes me very afraid. It's getting difficult to go through the day. I have tried to hurt myself in the past. What should I do? Does God hate me?

Make The Sign Of The Cross over your self.

Making The Sign Of The Cross (Orthodox Videos)

Go to an Eastern Orthodox Church and ask for Holy Chrismation and Holy Baptism. You might want to even visit an Eastern Orthodox Monastery sometime. Also, Drink Holy Water.


Here are some prayers for you:

• Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered; and let those who hate Him flee from His presence. As smoke vanishes, let them vanish; and as wax melts from the presence of fire, so let the demons perish from the presence of those who love God and who sign themselves with The Sign of the Cross and say in gladness: Hail, most precious and life-giving Cross of the Lord, for Thou drivest away the demons by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ crucified on thee, Who went down to hell and trampled on the power of the devil, and gave us thee, His venerable Cross, for driving away all enemies.


• Guard me, O Lord, by the power of Thy holy and life-giving Cross, and keep me from all evil


• Prayer Against Demonic Influence
Almighty God, Who delivered Your people from the bondage of the adversary, and through Your Son cast down Satan like lightning, deliver me also from every influence of unclean spirits. Command Satan to depart far from me by the power of Your only begotten Son. Rescue me from demonic imaginings and darkness. Fill me with the light of the Holy Spirit that I may be guarded against all snares of crafty demons. Grant that an angel will always go before me and lead me to the path of righteousness all the days of my life, to the honor of Your glorious Name, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.


Jesus Christ Conquers

Do you have a pastor or spiritual guide you can go to for direct help?

In all seriousness, have you tried marijuana? My son is bipolar and was prescribed numerous meds that either didn't help or had such adverse side affects he couldn't take them.

It's also helped my daughter deal with anxiety issues.

Seeing something that actually helps your kids is a good thing for a parent.

We christians know that apart from the physical problems someone may have, there is spirituals ones as well, i had intrusive thoughts like in ocd etc, and it was an spiritual problem, after the moment it got solved those thoughts never came back. You should seek some spirit filled pastor or something that helps with spiritual problems and tell all this, to try see what happens.
I had a problem that some spirit that told me constantly that i was going to hell, that i was not good enough for God, it got solved, as well as other problems.

And no God does not hate you at all, it may be discouraging to have those problems and see that God 'may be doing nothing' but he actually helps people and we should insist in trying to find a solution from him.

Hi Jason first thing God loves you much more than you know. He loves you to be delivered from those evil voices. i know because He did manage to get rid of the voices in my head screaming and ridiculing me all the time and depressing the Mickey out of me.

The best way is not to let yourself be upset by them any more but finding safety in God's truths and find a good medicine to help you stabilise your mind. i'm taking an anti psychotic to quell the voices in my head and to keep psychosis at bay. It took doctors many years to find something that worked for me. It can be really hard to find something good.

Please don't judge yourself bad because of your illness, it is not your fault that you hear voices, it is your affliction in life.

Please try putting your faith in God's love and build a new life doing that that is how i got away from my bad life, letting God's truths place me in a different reality altogether.

The truths of the bible living in my heart keep me safe from the enemy, they can do that for you as well.

Peace

Be of good courage.

An invitation to The Chosen.

God's Love will not take or will
you to conform to rules or demand
which imprison, enslave, burn or kill you.

God's Love will not pervert what's Good
The Lord loves truthfully Wise and Good.
True Love was, is and always will be Good!

In God's Love you are free to be right!
In His love everything is good proper and kind.
He loves all who love good and true to rule!

His Love is caring, providing, and sharing.
His Love always enjoys and protects good life.
His love rules even when bad life has being in us!

Hear Jesus call - 'Come join up with us all!
Leave whatever ties you down and be free
loving good life with all God's own to be.'

To the rest in your heart God's asks
how long will you tarry in the darkness?
Please leave such bad existence within.

For life must not, no never should, or would, or could,
be forceful, rude, prideful, arrogant, selfish, lustful
or otherwise be untrue to God's loving truth.

Neither should life be hurting or ill,
hungry, oppressed, despised, hated
or otherwise have existence in wrong.

Please hand your Bad Life over to Jesus
Humbly ask for His Good Life back in return
and go love God, self and neighbour with Joy.

The Church knows that Jesus is coming soon
All bad life will be our shameful past then,
so please leave your bad life while you can!

Love

Jason, the screaming voices you are being harassed by are evil spirits. And the shadows jumping at you are meant to create fear. God loves you! His word says in 2 Timothy 1.7 ...God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a SPIRIT OF POWER, of love, and a SOUND MIND. They are trying to make you believe they have power over you, but the truth is, YOU have power over them! I had something similar happen and i began to quote it with all my heart over and over. The third time i said it, the words came to life and the Holy Spirit showed up to deliver me in power.
Call aloud on the Name of Jesus to save you from your sins, he died and rose again to give you eternal LIFE. Ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit. Then get out the word of God and blast those demons from screaming at you. Say it over and over...... 2 timothy 1.7.....
GOD HAS NOT GIVEN ME A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT HE HAS GIVEN ME A SPIRIT OF POWER, of love and a sound mind!
It is God who has given YOU power over them. Jesus again said, behold i give you POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions and over ALL the power of the enemy!
All evil spirits can do is LIE, trying to make u THINK they have power over you. Jesus said, you shall know the TRUTH and the truth shall set you free. What is the truth? God has given YOU power over them! Believe it with all ur heart!
XOX!

Hi Jason. :)

God does not hate you and God can never hate you. He loves you more than anything in the world and He wants so badly to deliver you from the pain you are in right now. He loves every part of you even the parts of yourself that you hate.

Do not give up! The pain you are in is temporary.

It is not my place to give you medical or mental health advice so please seek professionals who are QUALIFIED to treat you. There is someone/something out there that can help you, do not stop looking. I will not sit here and tell you that you are possessed. Depression/schizophrenia/anxiety are very real things.

I send you so much love and I will be praying for you, brother.

Actually, is this possible to do? I thought one had to go through a lengthy catechism?

I mean to start the process in general and ask for prayer etc.
