• 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 was by a shrink, diagnosed Schizo and Schizo at birth.

I don't hear voices litteraly, but mentally. However I feel they hear me.

I hear a word of God and start to believe. Then it twists it to put doubt that it will happen then twists it another way to leave you with not knowing what road to take spiriually.

I have no job, just lost my gf who was a wonderful woman of God who I loved with everything I had almost (I only let God claim everything I have).

Now on with the family.

Dad's normal just really beaten down. My sister doesn't really go to church anymore.

My mom. She's diagnosed Cronically Depressed. She takes extremes, the whole all or nothing thing. So you just can't trust her on anything she says.

She has fibro on top of it. So she just lays there in a whoa's me kinna state. she does get up but barely gets out of the house.

All she talks about is God, you have to stand at attention (not litteraly) when she "gets up on the pulpit".

Dad won't go to church with her. One reason is that her idea of a tithe always seems to get bigger. If he doesn't put it in there, well she's depressed, use your imagination.

I've been a Christian for about 3 years. In all honesty not very many positive things have happened, but it's better than where I was without him. But not much. :(

Faith comes---comes---comes.... by hearing. Faith is a process that is built upon. Just like learning ABC's, or building muscle. It comes..keep building, and your faith will increase. Prayers.
