• 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.

Im on lunch from work atm and its been a really really bad day and probably will get worst this week. I missed church this weekend because of family issues and i know thats not a big deal but the voices have taken the liberty to hold it against me.....man i wish they would just shut up, after Jesus gave me a grip on reality back a few weeks ago they are just on annoyance but still i wish i could just sit in peace for once....any way please keep me in prayer.

Peace

I am wondering if you posted in this section of the forums for a reason. Have you been diagnosed with Schizophrenia? If not, and it seems like the voices are getting worse, you absolutely should see a doctor as soon as possible. Trust me, the sooner the better. Also, from now until you see a doctor, never loose trust in God, and don't do anything that He would not want you to do. God is always hear to help, remember that.

My dear friend, apart of going to see your doctor and getting yourself some medications I would do the following.

STOP INTERACTING WITH THESE VOICES IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!

I have suffered from voices since I was a teenager and I interacted with these voices most of the time - oh boy does that make it worse - ignoring these voices/judgements even if they scream their abuse is, in my opinion, the key to sanity. Also, if you are like me, get your feeling world back into His peace - to be forgiven - has no accusers.

That God may bless with this.

I have been diagnosed and am under the care of a Doc. No meds right now, they seem to make things worse....nueroten(?) is horrible for me.

I try to ignore the voices as often as possible and they get worse and worse in what they say or try to project in my mind and feelings then its almost like you can feel them break a crest so to speak and go away for awhile i just want to live the way God wants me to live because he wants me to live that way not because if i don't ill be in an inwards hell for a few days in the form of a guilt driven schizo episode....I know Gods grace covers us threw Jesus but its really hard to get over a decade of deep south fire and brimstone teaching out of your psyche.

Sorry im all over the place today, didn't get allot of sleep last night, i meant to ask, Jeshu, does it feel that way to you, the breaking crest and all that?

Peace

My dear friend.

I relate to you in your pain - I pictured God as a tyrant for some time. Oh my boy Guilt is a spiritual 'workhorse' sowing sorry and fear right in the place where God's loving peace wants to dwell. Making our illness almost unbearable.

My advise to you is first TRUST in JESUS He paid for your guilt so that you don't always have to feel sorry for what you have or didn't do. If you believe that Christ paid the price of your wrongdoing then Joy and Peace start to enter your heart.
The voices HATE Jesus for Jesus sets you free - also from these voices - e.g. you don't believe the voices any longer.

A very strong mental framework to use is asking yourself these questions when the voices accuse.
Are these voices loving and kind?
Do these voices have my goodwill at heart?
Do these voice try and BUILD me UP or tare me down?

Now ask yourself the Jesus question!

What Would Jesus Do/say. (if you don't know read the Bible to confirm that He loves you and wants the best for you.

Psalm 21 (I made it my personal victory song over the voices.)
