• 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 have voices in my head and anxiety attacks. It's a little burdensome. Sometimes it's a good voice and sometimes not. But I follow the mind of Christ in me and not voices. I take medication. I'm unsure what would happen if I stopped taking it. But I have much joy, peace and love despite the voices and anxiety attacks. Praise the Lord

That's really a blessing that you're positive despite the voices. I dealt with delusions for years and I think not knowing if it's God or the devil speaking to you is probably the biggest challenge one could face in the Christian life. Satan thrives on deception and if he can masquerade as God and condemn you through religion that's probably the biggest victory he could ask for.

That's basically where I'm at. The voices are an annoyance.

I believe the voices are my own thoughts. I don't know if Satan is involved or not. That's why I need grace and love. I need good words to meditate on. Being around strife is no good

This is the toughest battle I've ever faced.

I don’t know how to be anything but straight and whole. But I’m not in my mind. At least half of it. Best thing I can do when the chips tough is trust God. Be still and know that I am God, say my fear scriptures calm down and do my best. God gets me through when I try. And everything I do he will prosper on some level.

yeah it is tough sometimes. I can get into things, then it’s hard. It took a lot of years of preparation but then I could get married @ 53. It’s not for nothing what we go through. It’s not for nothing that we suffer. The lord knows the way of the righteous. I have anxiety attacks and I can’t do anything. I just try to distract myself. Study, YouTube, eat, and also ride it out. Think scriptures.

I have anxiety too. I try so hard to earn an honest wage, so I will be pleasing to God. Sometimes I hustle too much and start to get nervous. Other times I get anxious wondering if God knows I love Him. I have medicine for the anxiety but it doesnt always work. Anyway to all of you i wish you comfort and a nervous system that is peaceful...
