Mental Illness is terrible, But don't lose hope
    #25844949 -

Mental illness is terrible. Nobody respects you, you get taken advantage of and outcasted, people will feel sympathy for you or feel disgusted by you, your behavior off medication is reprehensible, you have terrible self-esteem, you manage to destroy almost every friendship and relationship you have, you have terrible intrusive thoughts, you make awful and impulsive choices, you hurt the ones you love most, you constantly think about hurting yourself or others, you feel like a degenerate, you most likely wont be able to develop good job skills that will land you a high paying job meaning you have to work Manuel labor struggling to survive, you get to see all the normal people you went to school with grow up and raise families have decent careers and have a better life then you, you hate the medications that control your behavior, and you are in psychological pain 24/7. Its awful, I just want you guys out there that are suffering wherever you may be……. that you’re not alone, you’re not the only one suffering and were all in this together. Each and every day were evolving, and the world is getting somewhat better, who knows maybe one day there will be a cure! Until then we must listen to our doctors, take our meds, work on coping skills and try our best to focus on the positive. Even though the intro of this was someone nihilistic I just wanted you guys to know that I feel your pain to some degree. Don’t lose hope.

Yes thank you friend!
i have a few loved ones struggling right now..
i have also witnessed a few psychotic breaks in my work with plant medicines. something else that really inspired me and filled me with hope was what i observed in my travels through South America, the amazon, and especially brazil..
there are many who believe in spirits, and they look at mental illness as such. there are people who are a part of different religions who incorporate mediumship. mediumship is when someone either intentionally or unintentionally brings a spirit into their consciousness and allows it to work through them. some beings are very high vibrational and use the mediums body to heal.. others are very low and obsess over things, have addictions, want to cause harm and generally act as a parasite feeding off the energy of the host. these are referred to as zombadeiros, and many have specific names.. in many parts of brazil, there are spiritist hospitals where highly developed mediums work with spirits to heal people..

they believe that most of the people out there wandering the streets are juts highly gifted and sensitive mediums who have not been taught how to channel higher frequencies.. but they live a life cursed with the experiences you describe above, although it is not them, its these lower entities..they say they are a man (or woman) with one foot in each world, and this is actually considered a spiritual gift..so the master mediums go work with these people and heal them and teach them, develop their gifts, and some of them become very positive members of society and even healers themselves.. i think its beautiful. so far from our western perspective

It's like you are describing my life word for word.

In this life we lead
We can conquer everything
If we could just get the braves to get out of bed in the morning.



I have to believe there is some point to this pain, that a meaning will be revealed somewhere along the line if I stay strong. I won't accept this is just a random chance of genetics and environment, wouldn't be able to live another second if I believed this.
Thank you very much for the encouragement and sympathy! I also wish everyone struggling with mental illnesses all the best and to never loose hope! We are so much stronger than "normal" people! We can reach the clearing at the end of the path without resorting to drastic actions.

Can you accept that suffering is part of life for everyone, and still experience some love and joy?

Beware of feeling abnormal or different or special, as that's just ego talking.    :sunny:
