Hey everybody i have schizophrenia and am following Christ
I'm a believer, been through a lot of stuff with this thing but its like i am getting healed by God but of course its in God's timing. I'm going to the doctor today and there is a question i want to ask: I am sure that God wants me on medication right now and i know that is his will. I'm driving 3 hours to get to the doctor today and don't know what to suggest medication-wise. I'm involved in christian activities at church like Celebrate Recovery and a small group. I've prayed with max faith for this illness that is really a chemical inbalance or something to do with the brain, the options are be psychotic and be thin or not be psychotic and be fat. Thats what it said in the schizophrenia book. NOw i think that God can take the side effects away just like he has with other ones but my mom seems to disagree. Please comment and note that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to anwer this question all you really have to do is get information from the HOly spirit or God and thats all. Thanks.
Been there...
I know about Celebrate Recovery...I am heading there tonight. I also know about mind disorders. I found myself about two and a half years ago certain that I was depressed and seemed plagued by the voices of demons. I looked for a medical solution and found one that worked for a while. I just wanted some sanity and relief and that is what I was able to get for the time I needed it. They diagnosed me with schizoaffective disorder. I was one medication for about two and a half months. Then I found at the altar with hands laid upon me and a prayer for mental healing. I left the church and I have since only taken the medication 2 or three times since then. Not because I needed it but because I had a few bad days connecting one another and was testing to see if the condition had returned. The Lord is faithful and true and was able to do for me permanently what the medicine could only temporarily fix. I see nothing wrong with seeking a doctor's medical diagnosis; however, I would hope that you know that the Lord is the true healer and can and will take care of it if you truly seek Him.
Your abnormal psyche
Hi,
this is Matt.
I got the same illness.
Just take your pills - it's no problem.
I take mine and they're effective. There's no bad effects.
In Germany they're being paid by the health-insurance ;-)
God is so great that you shouldn't even bother about your illness.
I gonna pray for ya.
Keep sticking to God. Love will heal.
;-)
