I think part of my problem with bullying nowā€¦Iā€™m 40ā€¦

Is that I always imagined an end to it. Truth?!? It gets worse and not just for me.

So itā€™s actually relatively minor butā€¦annoying which is probably the point lol šŸ˜†

Iā€™m 40 schizophrenic and living a modest normal life which is something of a miracle in and of itself. Andā€¦

I dunno šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Iā€™m less emo about it and not over thinking it as much butā€¦

Yesterday and again today some man was yelling about my old psych labels šŸ·ļø saying I have a severe personality disorder and I had my opportunity andā€¦?

I donā€™t know this dude. Iā€™m already sick of psych stuff to be honest but I keep up with my appointments etc andā€¦

Life goes on basically. I read that people with schizophrenia are labeled with personality disorders especially by doctors who donā€™t careā€¦.

Which would be pretty much every shrink Iā€™ve ever encountered. Even recently my current counselorā€¦I only see him every 8 weeksā€¦

Said some doctors who treated me should lose their licenses?!?! I didnā€™t press him for details butā€¦

Yeah. Soā€¦ramble rambleā€¦it gets rough when Iā€™ve got this new life in Christ and Iā€™m literally just going to my car to go run some errands and some man is yelling out psych labels from 20 years ago andā€¦

Ugh šŸ˜‘ another frustrating thing? Antipsychiatry is a dead end too lol šŸ˜† Jesus Christ is The Great Physician and Heā€™s done a mighty work in my life over the past 12-15 years or so.

One problem? A lot of Christs restorative work in my life has involved making me wholeā€¦flaws and allā€¦

Despite the shrinks and others in the so called helping professions. What does that tell you?!?

Frustratingā€¦

But Iā€™m looking out my window šŸŖŸ at a nice view and my plants are doing well and Iā€™m healthy and my parents are healthy andā€¦

Overall Christ has brought me so far that I can let gratitude override frustration from adult bullying. Itā€™s just frustrating and I get this feeling that some people really think that if they say I have abc then I should know my place or they should be able to control me orā€¦

Ugh šŸ˜‘ real world šŸŒ yet again.

Thanks!

Brother! First of all, I am so grateful all the amazing work the Lord has done in your life, the restoration and healing which I know is always ongoing. I am so sorry for the continued bullying by this man and any others that the Enemy might send your way. You are covered under the abundant power of the blood of Christ and His sacrifice for you. Your sins are forgiven. You are redeemed and the Enemy has no authority in your life anymore. May the Lord shut this man up and bring more peace and support to your life. May you radiate that love and may others come to Christ through your amazing testimony. Stay encouraged, brother! Amen
 
Thank you šŸ™

Iā€™m a pariah in my community. Itā€™s partly my shady pre Jesus past and also my schizophrenia and alsoā€¦

Honestly?!?! I wouldnā€™t go so far as to call it persecution but Godā€™s work in this world is always met with opposition. God has done some great things for my family and me. These great things seem to fuel some of the contempt that people have for me and I think for my parents tooā€¦.

They never told me a lot about their experiences but I sensed that their social lives were more difficult after they got big promotions. Weird? Or normal? I dunno šŸ¤·

Oh and Iā€™m healthy despite having never been given treatment for hiv. Long story but itā€™s been nearly 20 years since the back positive and I was already burned out andā€¦

No treatment. Healthy. Not burnt out. God is Good šŸ˜Š

But people?!? Oh man šŸ‘Ø
 
Continues today. I live in a condo/apartment complex community. Itā€™s easy to yell things out and people canā€™t see you. Ugh šŸ˜‘ I sound crazy šŸ˜œ. Butā€¦

Not too long ago I came home and some cigarettes were on my front porch area. Theyā€™d been put out but I could tell the brand. Came in and my place reeked. Thankfully I have an air purifier. Cranked that up to max lol šŸ˜†

Itā€™s actually a decent neighborhood. Iā€™m not wanted here it seems but in general itā€™s quite modest but pleasant. My building even has its own garden area.

Soā€¦.im beginning to suspect that the bullying may never end. People say I wasted my life but reallyā€¦

Ugh šŸ˜‘ of course the story is more complicated. Truth is not an issue for people in and of the world šŸŒŽ especially when dealing with low social status people. Andā€¦

I remember my mother telling me that shrinks ruined my life. That was over 10 years ago now andā€¦????

The labels šŸ·ļø are permanent and they add up. Now itā€™s severe personality disorder and schizophrenia and pills andā€¦blah blah blah šŸ˜•. Thing isā€¦.

Iā€™m getting sick of the whole thing but it appears to be part of my lot in life. Iā€™m living a modest but comfortable lifestyle as a high functioning schizophrenicā€¦.

When really Iā€™m a born again child of God who was spared death itself from treatment and brought out of darkness after conversion.

Ugh šŸ˜‘ beats poverty. I justā€¦donā€™t know how to deal with the taunts? Itā€™s been off and on since 2 amā€¦
 
Some Christians speak of a deep loneliness that happens in their walks. Iā€¦get it, I think.

Lots of people are lonely and many are alone. This is not a pity party šŸŽ‰. Iā€™m sayingā€¦

In Christ I went from being a patched together burned out weakling to being made increasingly whole. I am increasingly grateful šŸ„².

I have a 145-150 iq. I have good social skills. Iā€™m healthy. Iā€™m not effeminate. I even write well when I put my mind to it. Andā€¦

On a good day the world šŸŒŽ says heā€™s schizophrenic; heā€™d be in the state hospital šŸ„ if it wasnā€™t for his family. Andā€¦

My real conflict isnā€™t so much with the mental health industry per se as it is with a world šŸ—ŗļø that seems dead set on controlling and destroying me, on bringing up who I was not too long ago, on ripping me to shreds again and againā€¦

And itā€™s frustrating lol šŸ˜† I donā€™t know many people. I never was a social butterfly šŸ¦‹. I moved back here the first time tail end of 19 years old and I was apparently expected to be dead in a couple of years. Howā€™s that for ripped to shreds?!??

Now Iā€™mā€¦restored? Redeemed??ā€¦and people I donā€™t know are talking about guardianship conservatorship taking me off disability whoā€™s paying for this apartment? Etc etc etcā€¦.

And who really truly cares? Jesus Christā€¦cast your cares on Him for He cares about you!

Not that other people donā€™t care but they have limits. My parents care about me thank God but I donā€™t talk much about the taunts etc because they see a schizophrenic who needs help and maybe a sedative lol šŸ˜†.

Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but rather against powers and principalitiesā€¦

Somehow I ended up in Christs side. He has overcome the world! Iā€™m thankful šŸ„¹ and yetā€¦

At 40 years old Iā€™m more normal and healthy than ever but more distant from the world around me than ever before. It isnā€™t moral superiority or a deliberate retreat on my part but ratherā€¦

I dunno šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø it is what it is.

The taunting continued today and I dealt with it ok āœ… if I do say so myself. God is Good. God is Love.

Ramblingā€¦

Thanks for reading šŸ“–
