Ugh. ? I got in legal trouble over 10 years ago. Mama hired a lawyer I bonded out ended up with a misdemeanor and probation. The lawyer himself is now a big deal in that part of the state. I was so far gone I should probably have been in a hospital ?. Anyway…


Frustrating and frustrating because it’s like Chinese water torture or death by a thousand paper cuts…


I don’t even talk to anyone about it. Haven’t.


I’ve been praying ? for what I need to deal with it better. It was bad last night…some dude yelling at me while I was visiting my parents. Unnerving not to mention disrespectful towards my parents. I dealt with it ok ✅ and…

Hang in there. Like that song says "you are a survivor, keep surviving" Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving, have a nice time with your family and may the Lord give you many blessings.
 
When I was in rehab the counselors took my sins away. He told me I was a drunk because I had a disease. I wasn"t a sinner anymore. I was a patient. I would always be a drunk because of my disease.

I guess you could call it medical Calvinism.

But then a Christian guy I know from work came to visit me and showed me what the law of God says. So my disease left, my sin Spring to life again but I found out God can forgive any sin and if I follow Jesus, I won't have sin in my life anymore.

Is it not true that if you do what is right, you will be fine? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. It desires to dominate you, but you must subdue it." Gen.4:7

So if we honor God by giving Him the respect He deserves and love our fellow humans as God does, it won't matter if they live across the sea or speak a different language, ir are Gods' friends or enemies. We all became Gods' enemies once.

We have so much these days. It's a shame so much yo keep us connected, but we still aren't connected. How did former generations get by? So isolated. So hard to deal with their problems without anyone outside to help and know how to help. Even then I think they were far closer to one another than we are now. Just some thoughts. We all are brothers and sisters in christ all nations.

We're all related by our great great grandparents Adam and Eve. God told Gramma Eve that one of her sons would defeat the devil who lied to her and Jesus did that.
When people on Earth turn to Him that's when the evil stops. The wars and selfishness of mankind stop one person at a time.
We're gonna flip when we see Him citrus. ?
 
Yes. I think it is great to have such a connection with God through all nations as it says in the bible. That we have brothers and sisters all though out the world.
 
People who didn't have all that technology in the past. Jesus is a historical figure. It reminds me of that verse in the bible where is says we are blessed even more because we have never seen Jesus on earth and still believe.
 
I understand where you're coming from because the same thing is happening to me currently. With these voices that I hear, I feel like people are talking about me cruelly and they're using something like telepathy to do it because they have full on conversations with me and it's like they're taking action in doing things and I know about it. It's like the surrounding people are playing with me being schizophrenic and paranoid and start communicating with me from a far distance or even up close! My only instinct is to whoop their asses but I don't because I don't because I just hold myself back because my mom wouldn't like it, so I just have to let it go sometimes, but it's not getting the problem done and it's irritating.
 
Hi ?
Honestly? I found that I had to start with the basics. Sleep well if you can. Minimize stress as much as you can. Minimize contact with people who drive you crazy. Pray ? decent diet. I’m big on basic vitamins to help. Read write maybe draw paint. Not to sound like a know it all…


But in my personal experience dealing with schizophrenia is about learning to do life better and with some more limitations than many people have.
 
Aside from that…
At a personal level this is frustrating because I’m blessed ? and remarkably healthy and normal now..,


But burdened with stigma. I think honestly it’s because I’m reentering society by the grace of God. I try to look at it from that angle…
But it’s still rough when I get junk thrown my way..
 
Look up on you tube Georgiou song "proud of you." I don't listen to his other songs, but I like this one a lot.
