Reality and Schizophrenia

[DeerGlow]

Sometimes it rattles me wondering if everything I thought was spiritual was hallucinations or mental illness. How do you handle it? Tell what's true and what isn't?

By prayer, Scripture, obedience to God, God's Revelation, confirmed always by His Word (Scripture), always. (oh, and by His Peace, the Peace of mind and heart and soul and spirit, that Jesus says Jesus Gives).

Could it also be possible, that so called hallucinations, and mental illnesses, can be linked to spirituality or spiritual stuff?

I agree with Jeff though, I pray and read scripture when I feel like that, seems to work out.

Yes, although nutritional challenges are much much more common I think. I can make myself have problems just be letting myself get dehydrated or by neglecting/forgetting to get enough B-vitamins.

Yes I have paranoid schizophrenia bipolar chronic depression anxiety way better fibromyalgia .26 year battle with alcoholism and other addictions cured in one day not recovering not recovered cured and I've recovered from all my mental illnesses with medication even Apostle Paul had a thorn in his flesh .So 08/04/2009 three hours after I got my only tattoo besides a party dot yes I was in psychosis LUKE 1:37 across my throat what Arch Angel Gabriel said to Mary mother of Christ with God nothing impossible I got saved dramatically..I love being me no longer need to go to AA they hate Christ most of them and it's true I believe praying with people that believe in false gods evil spirits attack so ever since I quit going I got much better. But opened eyed visions and closed eye visions mostly of Christ saw Buddha twice Lao Tzu three pure ones bruce lee and hundreds probally over 300 at least all major hindu gods in open eye visions .Why after I got saved Christian in AA and Church told me to dump my medication down the toilet and became disabled for eight years and suffered very much still wouldn't change a thing about my life. I say the voices visions are real a test in end times the old shall dream dreams and the young shall have visions says it right in acts. This world is in moral decay and I was one of the worst offenders all part of I AM plan for my life.
