[__ Prayer __] bullies...

[Christ_empowered]

im not well liked in my community. former wretch, saved by grace, fairly recently...transformed, even physically, lifted out of the miry clay and put on solid rock. God is Good! People? no. not so much. LOL.

i don't like being bullied, but i guess there's angry, surly, people in the world who...well, there are always bullies, it is what it is.

Please pray that I can learn to deal, better. this time...most times...its people who stay out of my range of vision and say stuff. its worse when its 2+ men, but...women have become awfully vocal, too.....


maybe one day I'll be able to move? then again..."wherever you go, there you are." blah. I don't think anyone will hire me around here. maybe its better that way, anyway? what would I do if I had to be bullied at work, too?


God is gracious...things are far better where I live now than anywhere else, and the nature of my situation has changed, considerably. I"ve been transformed, and that...that makes a huge difference, too.

It just gets rough. then again...its better here than anywhere else. Oh, in other news: I'm only lightly medicated, my IQ estimate is up, and I don't have obvious signs of brain damage, which...considering all the shock 'treatments' (not voluntary), etc., is a definite showing of God's love and mercy and pity for -me- and "the least of these," etc. so...

maybe I"m just getting irritated because my senses have been restored unto me, and I'm not living in a haze, as much? makes sense. on the plus side, I enjoy -not- having "oh, he had a lobotomy" written all over me, and I actually seem to need -less- psych Rx with the higher IQ and such, so...I'm thankful. God is Kind, my parents are amazing, and...

ugh. bullies. :-( could be worse. thanks.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulty with bullies; they truly are the scourge of society. Sometimes bullies project violence and hatred as they are struggling in their own lives, and making someone else feel badly elevates their own mental health, or coping mechanisms.

I am pleased to hear you're transformed and your walk with Christ is fruitful and fulfilling; Christ will ensure you are happy and safe. I will extend my prayers this evening to include your protection from the bullies, your health and your future.

bullying...is rough. now that I'm labeled with "Schizophrenia," its kinda...well, everyone's life is somewhat complicated, especially after the age of 25 or so. mine is...simple, very simple in many respects, but the "severe mental illness" adds a layer of...

yeah, it is what it is. LOL. Thanks for the reply, thanks for your prayers, and welcome to CFnet.

Dismiss the label Christ_empowered; do not allow anyone to label you - you are your own person, unique and loved.

You are welcome for the prayer, and thank you for your welcome to the forum.

Yeah, I've had to deal with bullies before myself. It's a sad fact when somebody doesn't have anything better to do than to put other people down. I was bullied so much in school that I became a bully myself because I thought that if I didn't show them I was tough and I could stand up for myself I would be considered weak.





That of course was before I learned the difference between standing up for myself and being as bad as they were. I really love this song and I certainly believe that it holds true and that everybody should give it a listen to.

I'm familiar with this song, and it's very powerful.

Some songs hit too close to home for comfort. God STILL sees and KNOWS each situation, each and every tear, each thought and intent of the heart. It is SO HARD to not react to the world around us in a physical, emotional, mental way, but to really SEEK to stay right in the middle of searching for Jesus choice by choice..... These last days it's going to be even harder!! We MUST gird ourselves, and bathe ourselves in HIS love, not worrying about how others see us, react to us, and this not just for our own selves!! How can we be a blessing to others if we are conquered by the woes?? I am JUST as guilty!! I must continue to seek HIM.... HE is LIFE. He CONQUERED DEATH! We are FREED in HIM. KNOW HE LOVES YOU!!!! HE REALLY does!!! Not because of anything we do, but because HE. IS. LOVE. It is a love that we humans can not understand, at least I can't!! I'm learning to PRAISE Him so His presence is more tangible to my spirit. He INHABITS HIS PRAISE!! THANK YOU, LORD!!! :D

You have come quite a long way Brother. Praise the Lord! Just keep in mind that...if anyone needed a psychiatrist, then God would have sent a psychiatrist instead of a Savior. ;)

 

[Christ_empowered]

yeah, psychiatrists are often bullies, too. one i had--later, i got a brain scan and found out he'd done electroshock AND operations--would point at me and laugh, in public places. blah. :-(

now, of course...I have the "high(er) IQ" estimate, but really...psychiatrists would do it again, and worse, if I hadn't somehow come to really, truly believe upon Jesus...

and if He hadn't seen fit to extend some -extreme- grace and mercy and compassion my way, too. I am increasingly thankful.

now, it seems that the psychiatrists and other "mental health professionals" are providing fuel to the other bullies, as evidenced by what they say ("oppositional defiant disorder!" "amphetamine addiction" !, etc.), which...

is pretty much what happens to "trouble makers" and/or "uppity mental patients." blah. oh well. on the plus side...

God is incredibly Good! Even my cancer seems to have definitely gone into remission. How, exactly, I survived with lung cancer for years and years, having only fairly recently been made healthy....

is beyond my understanding. All I can come up with is that Jesus was merciful towards me, even then, and since I've gotten genuinely saved...

He's really poured on the love.

Seems that you are dealing with a lot. I pray for your inner strength and peace of mind and well being in general. I pray that the bullies do NOT prevail and that you are able to live a healthy, peaceful life IN SPITE OF the bullies. Words can hurt but as long as it is just words, and they are not actually doing anything to you (like beating you up God forbid) you can ignore them. It is not easy, but it is possible, they are not worthy of your pain, hope this helps, cheer up
