• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

My hands were shaking, I am a hairstylist. I cut my finger and continue with my professional service. My client was ill and really needed me. I felt otherwise fine, safe in this house, but my hands were shaking. When I was out of the house and on the bus my thoughts were running and on this thoughts were bad thoughts, like this of sinners, strange. That deep down there is something dark in me.
I felt bad, then I heard a voice in me which said "it is ok. to feel bad" and from then I calmed down a bit and when I looked at my hand the cut was healed the blood washed away, gone.
That was so amazing, so God was with me and saw me when I worked and helped me and healed me a bit.

I have paranoid shizophrenia but more or less sorted out the things with the voices, so other problems I have is my feelings. I don't know what it is, is it depression, fear or what? Under schizophrenia they write about voices, but never anything else and all voices are wrong shouldn't be there, that is soo annoying.

My other big problem is my emotions. I am currently for some days without medication, I would like to stop taking them, but with such experiences I am not sure if I am capable to do this. I have another client appointment coming up and can't have shaky hands. This appointment has to work, is a big thing.

I want to build community groups so sometimes in the past went to womencentres to take part and sitting in groups made me uncontrollable shake. I can't work with people, because I might have a reaction, that is terrible. I panic when someone says they want to come to me, like today.

I don't want to relay always on medicine because it is very expensive and has side effects. I did not get the last job, I have no money to pay for regular private counselling.

I don't think I have any practical help to offer on this, sister, other than to tell you that I empathize with what you described happening to you above. It is indeed a living hell.

But I will pray for you to find what your exact problem is and that you will heal from it soon enough.

You must see a doctor and get diagnosed from a professional. Your issues seem serious and this is not the type of thing that you can get advice for here when you do not know what all your diagnoses are (if you have anything more than shizophrenia, I don't know).

We all hate the medication and the side effects. And many still have issues or side effects to some degree even with medication. Come here to the mental health subforum and socialize and get support, this is GOOD for you.

I will be praying for you.

Firstly,

Hand over completely your life heart soul mind and body by Consecrating your Heart to Jesus Christ our Saviour's Sacred Heart and to The Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of God's Immaculate Heart daily now and forever while fully Trusting in Jesus.

If you bring up all of our Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of God's Prayers, there are Prayers that Jesus and our Heavenly Mother Mary have given to mankind to pray for Jesus' continued Loving Holy Wisdom, Healing, Guidance and Strength, removing conditions, IF one trusts in Jesus completely.

150 Our Father Prayers from your Heart, or The Holy Rosary or Jesus' Divine Mercy Chaplet prayer are the most powerful prayers from the heart prayed to Jesus Christ our Saviour in which Jesus answers!

Secondly,

seek medical advice.

Love and kindest wishes your Sister in Jesus Christ our Saviour

Thanks for responding. First of all I have stopped working. I just do mobile service where I tend not to have such a lot of fear. Hairdressing wasn't what I liked, it was rather a waste of time. Not my thing and my mother laughed, when I was young and told her I wanted to do fashion design.
I try to get onto some courses but don't get any benefits now. So this need to be sorted out.
I do write diaries, I have my 5th nearly full.

I do write diaries, I have my 5th nearly full, and I have downlouded catholic prayers, I do work on myself regularly. Shaky hands is a side effect of the medication. I do believe if I would do hypnosis it would get better, so I try something from youtube. There is no special therapy for people who suffer from fear.

God bless you!
Do not stop taking your prescription without your doctor knowledge and okay. Your hands shaking can the side effect of withdrawal..or something else..your doctor can tell the exact reason.
I praying that God give you clarity of mind to focus on Him and keep renewing your mind by the reading of the Living Word. It's a medicine for your soul and food for your spirit. I pray that you look and find a support group in your area and bible study, life groups too. Loving fellowship with the body of Christ, serving those in need, are all blessings that will bless you tremendously in Him. He uses people to minister, He uses you to bless and love.
in Jesus, praying with you.

God bless you abovetheclouds!
Have you been to a professional and asked about those voices?
I had a dear neighbor years ago who heard voices, she took meds for it, and lots of Scripture reading and prasing God. She told me that she could not stop her meds, if so she got very sick and need to the hospital. I pray that God lead you to the best treatment for you. He is faithful and will help you.
