• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I get also unexplainable input through my senses at times. I hear voices telling me often spot on information, I often get warned by a 'six' sense when danger comes my way. I dream sometimes about things that come true in the real world.

But as far as I'm concerned it is to be ignored and not sought after as it has proven to be unreliable. truth and untruth mixed together don't make for a good inner reality. The Bible offers a far more reliable source of information.

Hi there I haven't had schizophrenia or whatever that is I experience for that long but i also feel as though i've been twisted slightly to where I probably don't see things in the same way that much.
I have some strange symptoms I can't explain them properly now but for example when i close my eyes i can see things that go on in others minds or heart. It's not all the time and it's cartoonish at times too. At the same time i also hear ongoing comments in my self and outside my head in the same manor.

I feel as though if i hadn't resisted at times in the past by confesing and praying that whatever is behind this wanted to bring in more and more such things or even more vivid. There was a time where i couldn't go to sleep all night cause i was bombaded with things when i closed my eyes and especialy as i got drowsy, at times i could be having the most highly inteligent conversation you could ever have all inclusive with pictures at times be hearing music so vivid so clear and past modernity.

Glad to say they're gone now since i had poeple higher than me pray that i'll be able sleep without distruption.

What i'm trying to say is that i too have had strange things happen to me that have changed me in someway, definatley my ego, prude and self and i'm constaly striving to keep the views I had before.

It's only resently i've learnt to gain controll over my thinking by force making myself heard within myself over whatever i want to thingk about and being able to reason and have deep thoughts within my self withought them feeling like i have a wall bloking this or there bening taken out. Befor i could do this naturaly and obviosly loved to thingk or reason.

The bible states one of the requirements to "dwell on his holy hill" is to speak "the truth from your heart." The heart is perceptive, which is why everyone has a different view on things. Therefore since one of the heart's functions is belief, if you believe in your heart the veracity of your statement, you convey your stance on a situation. The bible talks about paraphrase, "They will follow the delusions of their own minds Jeremiah 23:25 - 29. A false belief is an inaccurate perception. This is usually taken as a response to believing a lie.
As we see, we see the truth. That which is evident is obviously true. However, appearances can be deceiving becuase some people judge by what they interpret out of what they see. A delusion is simply believing something that is not true. There are two ways of doing this. To believe someone else's lie or, to believe your own lie. You are mentally disturbed when you cannot see past your own deception. People do this intentionally because they do not want to face the truth. However, you are sound if you do not accept the bribe of suggestion over simply not knowing. Many people accept lies because they cannot "prove" a given statement otherwise, so they assume the first statement is wrong; the second is more seductive. How to tell a false belief from a truth? First, a belief is an "accepted statement." If there is not a joining of ideas, then the taking of the that information is knowledge. "This cup is red." To accept that is knowledge, becuase it can't be weighed by any other factors. "This cup is red because somebody painted it" is different however, becuase in order to accept it you have to believe that it is red, as well as incorporating the original statement. The bible says "The first to plead his case seems right, until another comes and examines him." (Proverbs 18:17). This can also be applied to two ideas, presented by two people or not. The question of whether or not to believe it is raised when one decides to or not to join the two ideas.

the mind boggles,think positive, I have been affected with breakdowns and experiences in the past, meds helped me with quality of life but it is not a cure, its a bout balance gaining, enjoy the side effects of medication for balance in life, meds are positive, I still think and believe I have proof of a higher power thinking back to my breaking point, well I asked god for it, its all been positive, im much happier now thinking about life but much sader if I think about it,I lost my dad, for a while I hope, thank god for faith, is it history, or is it that it is down to knowing comfirimed history, thats the bible mysteriously.

God doesn't speak apart from His word. And remember, all of us need our minds renewed. How? Through the Word. What I've also discovered, is that when I'm in a mess I created (or that occurred over time), God doesn't (or He hasn't for me) instantly pronounced deliverance. He's had me walk it out. Also, when you give the devil a foothold through certain activities, like gambling, my experience is God let's me suffer with the painful consequences. I've learned the hard way to guard my heart and test what I think might be from Him. And I'm still learning.
