[__ Prayer __] they're "making an example" out of me

[Christ_empowered]

At 20, I was in a mental hospital. Involuntary ECT to "teach me a lesson" and then confidentiality violations and torment to "make an example out of me." At 23, I went mad and was given more intensive, involuntary ECT. I've only now recovered, by God's grace and Christ's healing touches.

OK. So, now that I'm back with my family, healthy, my manliness is developing, and I'm smart, I'm more of a pariah than I was before. Seriously. The docs who ECT'd me into oblivion are bent on making an example out of me. I had to get my dad to hire an attorney after they pressed charges when I stood up for myself (I should have been better about it, but I was acting out of being tormented).

People want my parents to cut me off. "Separate him from his family!" Right. Under normal circumstances, a 29-30 year old probably shouldn't be supported by his family. I get that. These aren't normal circumstances. If my parents were to send me packing and cut me off, I'd be tormented and who knows what they'd do to me this time around.

I don't know what to do. I have a good attorney, but once your (pencil whipped) confidential info gets leaked by people who hate you, and nobody liked you anyway, things spiral out of control. I don't know what I'm supposed to do, honestly. Lean on the Lord, I know. I have 5 years misdemeanor probation (6 months down!). Its harder to transfer misdemeanor probation than it is felony probation. I don't have resources of my own or job skills or a degree, so...I'm not real eager to move, you know?

I'm doing school online with Liberty. More extreme grace. Opportunities promised no one, but given to me through the love of Christ Jesus. With my lack of job skills and history, a 4 year degree is looking like the best way for me to get a job...someday...

...in the meantime, my rep has been ruined. My parents are higher on the totem pole now, but they don't really have friends, so they seem oblivious to a lot of all this We were still kinda estranged until fairly recently; only my transformation through Christ could make them love me again. I probably should never have come home, but where do you go when you're a semi-vegetable?

Please pray. People keep talking about prison, and I don't know what they're talking about. Sad thing is, unemployed mentally ill people go to prison everyday in America. Pray also that I'll pull through all this, my family, too. My pain was bad enough; their pain, having to support a sickly semi-vegetable all these years...I can't imagine.

Pray, please.

Heavenly Father,
Christ_empowered is so troubled by what people are saying. He was abused by mental health "professionals', and it hurt him deep in his heart.
God,
send him your spirit.
Give him mental strength and peace of heart.
It is a huge burden to bear, especially since there are people who wish him harm and are trying to torture him.
Lord, don't let his enemies break him.
Lord, FIGHT for Christ_empowered.
Break the wicked and their lies.
Force satan to back down.
Please give him new life. Let things calm down.
Jesus, he belongs to you, and he loves you. You are transforming him day by day. He sees your work in him, Jesus. And he is clinging to you desperately.
Deliver him from these liars!
Send someone powerful and strong and courageous to stand up for him! PLEASE Jesus! Enough is enough.
Holy Spirit, give him extra strength tomorrow, and give him good rest.
Ease his troubled heart.
Amen

CE, remember you are never alone, no matter how bad your situation. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me."

Keep walking through the dark place, knowing that God is right there with you. Do the things you have to do; study, plan, build a life for yourself. King David and the other writers of the psalms were often in despair, surrounded by enemies in hopeless situations, yet they keep trusting in God and praising Him. So many passages in Psalms that fit your situation. Eg Ps 119 v 150: "Those who devise wicked schemes are near, but they are far from your law. Yet you are near, o Lord, and all your commands are true".

King David kept trying to follow God's law, in spite of his many persecutions, and God was with him throughout. And in the end he was successful.

God has a purpose in your life, and His purpose will not fail. Hang in there!

Who was it that said those words? To teach you a lesson and make an example out of you? If it was any medical professional they would definitely be in the wrong.

OK. So, now that I'm back with my family, healthy, my manliness is developing, and I'm smart, I'm more of a pariah than I was before. Seriously. The docs who ECT'd me into oblivion are bent on making an example out of me. I had to get my dad to hire an attorney after they pressed charges when I stood up for myself (I should have been better about it, but I was acting out of being tormented).

What exactly where the specifics? Where you involuntarily commited?

People want my parents to cut me off. "Separate him from his family!" Right. Under normal circumstances, a 29-30 year old probably shouldn't be supported by his family. I get that. These aren't normal circumstances. If my parents were to send me packing and cut me off, I'd be tormented and who knows what they'd do to me this time around.

Ha! Don't sweat it. I'm 38 and still supported by my dad. I'd be living under a bridge somewhere if it weren't for that!

I don't know what to do. I have a good attorney, but once your (pencil whipped) confidential info gets leaked by people who hate you, and nobody liked you anyway, things spiral out of control. I don't know what I'm supposed to do, honestly. Lean on the Lord, I know. I have 5 years misdemeanor probation (6 months down!).

Pray, please.

I'm sorry I can't offer prayer but you have my sympathy and I do relate to your situation. Society values people who are self-supportive and emotionally stable. Many people have trouble with this and much of their lives can be spent struggling just to get started in these two areas. I'm still there, still struggling.
