Hello guys 🙂 I just want to say that I am over with depression and that I believe that is something out there.I recovered my faith again. It’s impossible that a hardcore suicidal guy like I was to recover so quickly. God exists and it’s never too late. And I am not keeping this only for myself.
God dosen’t encourage laziness and dissapointment, you need to get up there and fight whatever the conditions are. God encourages work and being helpful with eachother.
So, go out there, get a job, pray, find a gf or a bf and you’ll see that everything will be allright. I am not a crazy zealot, I am just a normal guy with rational thinking and I don’t think that atheism is the answer. It’s impossible that all this complex stuff named world to be created from nothing! Remember! We are all warriors, we need to fight and do the best we can. If you can’t do good things, at least don’t do bad things.
Another thing , I understand people with depression, I love you guys. God loves you too. And even if you kill yourself.. GOD FORGIVES! It’s about your heart/soul, SUICIDE OR NOT IF YOU DIE WITH A HEART THAT REJECTS GOD..YOU WILL NOT BE SAVED. But, even if you go to hell, there is always a second chance, people here on earth with their prayers and hope can save you. Remember! You are great, even if you are divorced or broken, you are a warrior and YOU HAVE POWER BEYOND MEASURE! FORGIVE! BELIEVE! TRY! RESPECT ALL AND FEAR NONE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! I LOVE YOU 🙂

Even if we die with a heart that rejects god doesn’t mean at all we are going to live in hell buddy
I’m sorry, I get your point. I don’t support the god that Christianity made. I just think that there is something out there. And I understand you, schizophrenia is something terrible. Living with it is terrible. Anyway, I had a friend that had katatonic schizophrenia when she was young. She recovered and she is in a relationship. She told me that when she was young she couldn’t control her body and etc. But she recovered and she studies really hard at the highschool. 🙂
Schizophrenia is tough super hard living with voices. I try to live a Buddhist way its one of the only religion that tells you that you aren’t going to hell for pretty much anything
Hope you’ll get better 🙂
You sound manic and in a religious way
You really do sound manic. I’ve had it too and I warn you – if it is mania, you will crash hard. I don’t say that it may not be your recovery… But you just sound too familiar.
I am just happy
I thought that too before ending up in the psych ward. It is not scaremongering… but I am just afraid and I care…anyway… I am glad that you are happy…really really glad.
Psychiatry is a great lie. They only use you for money. Stop taking their stupid meds and try to rest a bit. This so called doctors give you “candys” to make you worse so that you can go to them again so they can get money from you again. Everyone is bipolar, we all have ups and downs, it’s normal. They just use you/me for money.
If I didn’t take their respiridone and klonopin and seroquel I wouldn’t be sleeping ild probably be delusional as fuck and suffering tremendously
I hope you’ll get better. Sorry then..
I’m not sure anything can help me 🙂 still suicidal as fuck and want out of a genetically inherited illness
I hope you’ll find peace, brother.
And I am similar with grandiose feelings at times. But yes hope everything is well. And I’ve been locked up a few times also. I go all grandiose then it turns to shit.. It use to all work out for me in the past with being grandiose and all wishful thinking.

I can’t agree…mania is an illness – It’s like a beautiful road but there’s an ugly turn where’s nothing but snowstorm.
I am taking hydroxizine and it sincerely helps me to sleep. It’s not all about doctors’ imagination – these medicines do help.
i know that god exists too,and also that evil one exists,but i think that bible has been changed by him a little bit and that god wanted message to be simpler,always when i read bible i got huge feeling that something is wrong there,but some stories are from real god.
Exactly brother.
Feeling better does not confirm the existence of God. I can’t get out there and work, find a job, or even function as a normal 31 year old adult because my major depressive disorder. Look around you, many Christians have it hard across the world and never feel better. I also seen happy atheist and visa versa. I was miserable as a Christian child and very early adult, and I’m miserable now as an atheist (atheist since early 20s). I can’t tell you how many times I “asked God into my heart” with no help whatsoever! I’m an atheist because of all the contradictions in the bible and other religious texts rather than my own personal experiences. What your experiencing is endorphins flowing though the synapses in your brain higher than normal.
my thoughts exactly, word for word. Juts finished explaining to someone the exact same thing, that I grew up a miserable Christian and am now a miserable nihilist. Praying to God works has about as much effect as flipping a coin. Heads, my depression will pack its bags and leave, tails, it stays and we fight it out for another decade.
I believe God exists too. I agree a lot with Briight’s post!
A god may or may not exist … but the god of the bible is likely not it … the “bible” is not one “book” … it’s a compilation, a collection of over 60 “books”, letters, scrolls, parchments, songs, poems, written by dozens of “authors” over the span of hundreds of years – roughly from 1000 BCE (BC) to 500 CE (AD) … then collected and collated and cobbled together by humans to serve their given agenda of the time. Many widely accepted texts of the time were rejected from inclusion for personal and political reasons.
Additionally, all texts of the time were hand copied and translated multiple times – by humans – BEFORE they were ever considered for inclusion. It was common practice to add/delete/change the verbiage of these texts to serve the agendas of those who financed the scribes … then there is the honest scrivener’s errors that made their way in and got copied and translated later over and over.
The bible as a factual historical text is about as accurate as Mel Brook’s movie “History of the World Part 1” (which I highly recommend for some mindless slapstick comedy and sight gags that will brighten a couple hours of your day 🙂 )
Let me point out just one instance – the Exodus – now, if anyone had a motivation to prove the Exodus of the Jews out of Egypt – it’s the Jews themselves. Yet their best and brightest scholars and researchers CONCLUDED that the Exodus – as stated in the Bible/Torah/Pentateuch/Tanakh – did NOT happen … further, they concluded that no event even similar happened in the history of the 12 tribes.
Most of the fables in the Bible were co-opted from similar stories/fables/myths of other civilizations that predate the Bible versions by hundreds and thousands of years.
The Bible is a human endeavor that invokes an all seeing inescapable presence to enforce rules and law when no officer/soldier human, as an agent of the state/ruling party, is present to maintain order. A study was done with children where the mere suggestion that an invisible faerie princess was sitting in a (empty) chair watching them was enough to stop them from cheating on the tasks assigned them. And, yes, when the children thought no one was looking, they ALL cheated … but not when the faerie princes was “present”.
Things that make you go “Hmmmm”.
curious dawg
SP’s very own Bo Dallas is back.
“All you have to do is… Bolieve!!!”
I’m not religious by the way — was an ‘iconoclast’ as a youth (waste of my time, actually).
I started Bolieving after Dallas ran over Torito during a victory lap around the ring. Pro wrestling is the only religion I need 🙂
LOL yes! 😀 I saw that too. Bo Dallas ought to be on live tv more — I think he’s hilarious, like the time he confronted Ryback: “You might be the ‘Big Guy’ but tonight I’m gonna be the bigger man” only to get his ass whooped… ha.
Costy! Thanks for the visit and the inspiring vibe! I’m thrilled to see that your recovery is real.
Just to re-quote what you said in a comment:
“I don’t support the god that Christianity made. I just think that there is something out there.”
That’s what it’s all about, man. Even atheists can believe in “something out there”. The problem with the word “God” is that it carries so many artificial, man-made expectations about a beard dude who causes floods and sunshine and makes our favorite team win the superbowl. Is that the only choice we got? No.
I do believe in “something out there”. Maybe it’s just a machine that’s been ticking away for trillions of years, regulating gravity, entropy and the laws of physics. One way or another, it’s bigger than me, so sometimes it’s nice to think that everything makes sense even though I don’t get it.
Anyway man, I know you’ve been through hell. You’ve been deeper down the hole than any survivor here, so I think it’s great that you managed to climb out. Keep shining 🙂
Thank you man. You can do it too. Just fight 🙂 If I from that deep depression I escaped , you can do that too. I started to believe again that everything happens for a reason. Who knows, maybe people with disorders and handicaps will see happiness in the afterlife.
