• 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'm writing this to ease my pain - to see my thoughts written down.

I'm currently taking three medications: one is an anti-depressant whilst the other two are anti-psychotics. So, as a friend of mine told me, "I'm a psycho."
I don't know why - it's been theorized that my brain is just wired wrong - but I can hear voices; and other times, I suffer from recurring memories in which I relive the emotions in said memories.

Before the medication, I would relive all kinds of memories throughout the day: my mother telling me she would kill me and herself when I was just six years old; my father telling me I wasn't worth five cents just because I messed up his coffee; him telling me I ruined his life with my birth; the countless times he threw things at me as I crawled up in a ball cried my eyes out. I can still easily remember, at the age of seven, my dad forced me to write letter to my mother in which I called her a harlot and many other names.

The fighting between my mother and father was the worst. They would yell and scream and break things. My most horrid memory of their fighting is a simple one: my father holding my mother down as I ran out of the house in fear of what would happen. Later, my mother would tell me they both had a plan: my father would take my mother out back and he would take her head off with an ax. Later, during the divorce, I remember hiding myself as I listened to their fighting. Then, came a most terrible noise: the sound of a grown man crying for mercy. I don't know what my mother did, but the cries would echo in my head for ever.

On a memorable night, my father was breaking dishes and other things. I called my mom (who moved out of state) and told her. My dad found out and told me that she would send police to come get him. He made me sit on the couch as he readied his gun for their arrival. No one would show.

One morning, when I was fourteen, my father was yelling at me. It wasn't unusual, but this time he put his hands around me. In fear, I pushed him away. For doing that, he told me he was going to slit my throat in my sleep. I told the school counselor that morning, but nothing would be done because there was no proof of abuse. My father later found out and he would later come to just yell at me some more. Later that night, the voices of my head rang out, "They didn't help you! They deserve to die!" I even had hallucinations of the room moving.

At fifteen, I learned some disturbing news from fellow students. They mocked me and told me a friend of mine (who was only fifteen herself) was having sex with my father. Later, when my father's door was locked, I snuck up to the window and discovered that it was true. A few weeks later, they decided to start making fun of me, calling me names I don't wish to repeat. Eventually, that friend told my father I couldn't see my mother anymore. Eventually months passed and that friend's parents found out about her relationship with my father. My friend then tried to kill herself but failed. Her parents called the police and my father forced me to lie to them to prove his innocence. In the end, he blamed me for it all.

After hearing voices for so long, I was finally put into a mental hospital for two weeks. They gave me medication and it stopped the voices and recurring memories. In fact, it erased many of my memories. I don't mind though.

My sixteenth birthday recently passed. For celebration, my father made switches to whip me with...

I have officially been diagnosed with depression, Asperger's syndrome, suicidal idealization, and homicidal idealization. There are many things that I won't type, even here, but I must admit that I've made my own "suicide prayer" that I say every so often. It's short but it goes, "Lord, have mercy on your child and take me into your arms, where I might finally find rest."

I'm ashamed to write anymore.

We are not alone in suffering. Your story is a tragedy. Pain and tears are feel the same whether its your situation or like the three girls who were kidnapped an abused for ten years, pain is pain. You have to snap out of the mindset of pain by dedicating yourself to The Lord Jesus Christ. He will forgive all of your sins and give you a spiritual gift to be used to bless others with. If you do this, you fill find joy and true happiness. We live in a heart wrenching broken hearted world. I've cried a river from all of the experiences I had as a child. My closest friend was abused and endured unthinkable torture and agony. We are married today and have five born again children. You have a choice to make for Christ dear friend. You might think you're not good enough to serve God but you are. None of us are good but God doesn't choose good people over bad people, He takes humble people and not prideful people. Your parents were very prideful people to say what they said to you. Death is not in their hands at all, God is gracious and wants to take them and turn them into humble people. God has allowed the suffering in our lives to humble us. Remember that we could never be good enough but we can choose to be clothed with humility. Did we deserve for our parents to do these things to us? After all we live in a dying world, maybe we don't deserve anything. We definitely don't deserve eternal life thru Christ Jesus. But it has been offered to us, God has heard your cry and humbled Himself as a servant to heal your broken heart. Read the Word, pray to understand your gifts, and seek out the fellowship of others whom God has saved from this dying heart wrenching world.

In tears for you,

Michael

Dear brother,

Please understand that the lies pushed onto you as a child are still destroying you. To break down the lies of your childhood - like calling yourself God's monster - while the truth is that you are a child of God, dearly beloved and completely paid for, is essential.

Do understand that the more negativity you replace with positive stuff the better off you are. Bad things have been bred into you this is not your fault but you are a victim of it.

Now you have to turn your life around and begin to breed good things into you. I think here of the gifts of the holy Spirit - love, kindness, gentleness, self-control, humbleness, long-suffering, thankfulness and joy.

These spiritual gifts will fill your heart and mind with good things and break down the power of the bad things.

I also suffer from a psychotic illness as well as a depressive one and found that loving God, self and neighbour is one of the most positive things you can do to help yourself.

Be of good courage with God you can overcome the pain and get yourself back onto level playing grounds.

:hug:

You are not a monster. You are a victim of cruelty. God loves you more than you know and we'll only ever feel that love completely when we see Him in Heaven. You should know that while you're here though God has a plan for you and He will never stop loving you. The bible says nothing can separate us from God's love, not even our sins or bad thoughts. You have been through a lot of emotional abuse and physical as well and all of this has caused these feelings to come out in you but they are all lies.

I want to share this video with you because I feel like it will bless you. :)

Kinderlot, the first thing you need to realize is that the things you're going through are not your fault; they're the fault of your reckless, abusive parents.

The second thing you should realize is that there's a God in heaven who loves you more than words can express, and he wants to deliver you from the things you spoke of. I hope you will continue to seek help from your doctors for your conditions, and try talking to the leader of a local church about starting a personal relationship with God by accepting Christ into your life.

We all pray for you, friend. :groupray:

Praying for you, brother.
You are a victim, and you don't deserve any of this :hug:
You are very, very precious to God - He loves you more than you can imagine
Is there anyone you can talk to about all of this - you need support, and if at all possible to get out of that situation :hug:
