Confusion Delusion

I understand what you're going through and it's happened to every single one of us. Including myself.
Right now, I'm personally studying why such occurrences such as these happen to people and what brings them upon us. I'll also be researching how to prevent these psychological drop-outs, if you will.
As you said, one minute everything will seem perfect, then you'll have a thought and a flood of negativity happens - suddenly you're jumping to conclusions and feel rather demoralized.
If there's one thing that's most devastating about this, it's that people lose hope. That's a sign of a weak-minded person. Please, for the love of Jesus Christ, do not give up. Merely ignore these thoughts - as difficult as it is. Become an Optimist - it'll lower the rate at which these drop-outs happen, I assure you.
I hope I can understand why this happens one day - thank-you for sharing this.

When we socialise we show respect for one another as strangers in a group meeting. But when we are with our own family and parents, anger rises out of the ashes as if being forgiven by God is short-lived. Family problems go away and come back again to haunt you, and you wonder why your brain is waving the white flag to surrender to illness where peace exists with delusional hallucinations. The bible does say that God has released Satan to deceive us. Looks like Satan is doing a good job of bringing insanity in people's lives as another path to peaceful pastures. Seeing the face of Jesus continuously can bring you back to reality because we know that he heals, removing fear and worthlessness. Everybody sees you as a worthy person - must be planted in your mind, even if you think that your family and parents don't. If God is teaching us sin through feelings and not just through our eyes and ears then by accepting Jesus we must remove the spirit of deceit, deceit that causes insanity. I believe we would not understand sin through study only. Sin is such a difficult subject to understand and you wonder why atheists reject the existence of God not knowing that sin is self-experience and a learning school subject combined.

Christianity is a journey. Just keep your chin up and don't be too hard on yourself. If we don't give up on God, God won't on us. He promises never to leave us or forsake us. We can forsake him, (with the consequences) but God is faithful. All you have to do is want it and keep walking. (Also when we get a breakthrough the devil can come back at us in a flood sometimes to discourage us, but it just builds our spiritual muscles.)
You're doing great by the sounds of things. Congrats on all your victories. They're quite substantial by the sounds of it. Praise and worship music can be a big help when the devil is trying to bring you down. It lifts the spirits. You can find heaps in christian bookstores and on youtube.

You're a champion to have gotten so far. Every time you fall, don't condemn yourself, you're only human.

One of my favourite scriptures is in Psalms, where it talks of Gods grace and his awareness that we are 'but dust'. Psalm 103. It's beautiful.

Celebrate Recovery is wonderful. Before Teen Challenge, God used it to break down many of the walls I had up. Don't beat yourself up over having the words jumbled and not hearing what is said. sometimes it takes time to learn how to listen. You made a major step choosing to forgive yourself. Sometimes the process of working through this forgiveness, hurts, and hangups, takes a longer time. It is important to have a good support team around you as you are going through time. Sometimes saying it, like you did now, helps you pay attention better the next time. And as far as the confusion thing goes, the more you search something out, the better you will comprehend it. Ask God for understanding. In His time, He will.
