Hi everyone, sorry if this post is lengthy. I am new here and I want to let you know that I do suffer from a mental illness (Schizoaffective disorder) I was deiagnosed in 2005 after being hospitalized. I have had 2 suicide attempts in the past which I truly regret.

I am a wife and a mother to three beautiful girls.

To start of, I was not spiritual or religious in the past eventhough I was raised Catholic and received all the Sacraments.

It was only last year (July), that I found the Lord. I called on Him during the most difficult stages of my pregnancy. I almost fell into severe depression and psychosis that time and was almost hospitalized. But fortunately, with God’s grace, I was able to go into full term and I had delivered a healthy baby girl.

I am currently taking medications for my illness and there are still times when I would be paranoid about certain things. It is like a roller coaster ride as far as my emotions are concerned.

Each day, I pray to God that I am hoping that He will heal me of my illness. It has not happened and I am not losing hope.

I would like to know from the other people who post here if they think that God is still with me inspite of my mental illness. I don’t want to think that I am being possessed by the devil because I do have emotions.

I love my family so much and I am doing all my best to get better.

I regularly take my doctor’s advice, I go to therapy and never stops taking my meds.

Is there hope that I may recover from this illness with my strong faith in Him?

Thank you all for listening!

MsLizzie, God is not with you in ***spite ***of your mental illness, he’s with you because of it, in the midst of it and throughout all of it. You are His suffering child and He loves you.

I don’t know if it will be God’s will for you to be healed of your mental illness. Maybe He has that miracle planned for you. But He surely wills for you to be able to manage your illness, accept your treatments and offer all your prayers, works, joys and sufferings up to Him together with Jesus’ suffering on the cross.

My daughter doesn’t have mental illness, but she does have the mental disability of Down Syndrome. I think God will not correct her extra chromosome, instead, He will give us what we need to give our girl a happy lilfe in God’s love. Just like you, we offer all our prayers, works, joys and sufferings to Him.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby daughter. She’s one year old now? How lovely for you to have three beautiful girls. May you all be blessed. Welcome! I hope to see you here again!
 
Hi. Of course God is still with you in spite of your illness. Your illness is not evil. It doesn’t separate you from God, though it does cause intense anguish and suffering, as all severe and chronic illnesses do.

My mother is bi-polar and has had many psychotic episodes with intense delusions and paranoia. I have no idea how many times she has been hospitalized. Her psychotic episodes were very linked to her cycle, and would last 3-4 days, during which she was very agitated and did not sleep.

I don’t know if God will heal you. You have a serious, real brain illness. Your illness is no different in its physical basis than cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, or Parkinson’s disease. God sometimes heals those with serious, chronic illness, and sometimes does not. Even though I don’t know if he will heal you, I do know if you are obedient to God and stay grounded in your physical treatment God will give you the grace you need to perservere.

When he allows us to suffer, we must rejoice, because have joined our hearts with the suffering of Christ. Remember the first sorrowful mystery, and how Christ suffered in the garden.

My confirmation saint is Teresa of Calcutta, and she believes that Jesus Christ is present in those who have the most debilitating illnesses, including mental illnesses. She sees your condition as Christ present on the earth, and we are called to minister to you.
 
God bless you mslizzie and welcome to CAF.

You have strong faith in God - that faith comes from Him. He is with you. He has started healing you - interiorly - that is where He wanted to start to heal you the most. He is still healing you.
 
I have bi-polar disorder and I fully believe that God is not only with me, but with you, too. With our Lord, he has strengthened me to know that he has graced me with this condition, and that with meds and therapy, it can be handled.

Continue to have faith in the Lord, and he will continue to bless you!

This mentally ill man has published a book.

Boy God must really love you to allow you to join in with Christ in redemtive suffering. I have nothing but admiration and empathy for the mentally ill. I know far too many people that have some sort of mental disorder.

Offer up you suffer one night for my diseased Protestant father-in-law please. Offer it up for souls in purgatory. You have a unique gift I’m sure you would gladly walk away from if possible. But while you hold such power at your fingertips, use if for the good of the Church. Use it to get us orthodox Catholic priests and religious.

Prayers for you.

Hi Lizzie…and blessings on you for coming out and stating you suffer a mental illness. I do too and for near on 30 years … Bipolar Disorder and the second of the two major mental illnesses, the first being Schizophrenia.
I have not been ill now, nor looked remotely even like becoming ill for what must be over five years. When I first got ill my doctors told my now ex husband (annulled 15yrs ago) that I would be a cotcase for the rest of my life. This I am not and am a quite successful student on an adult campus for coming up six years and in 2004 received an Award of Merit for Outstanding Student. I credit my current stable health to an absolute conviction that if it was God’s Will I would be well again and never giving up on that despite the odds at times. Dont you give up on it either!!! Have you read :

THE MENTALLY ILL PATIENT: A FAITHFUL IMAGE OF GOD.

by Cardinal Lazano Barragan Javier
President of the Ponbtifical Council
for
Health and Pastoral Care - Vatican City
…this document can make very heavy reading at times…but hang in there with it - every now and then there are true gems to be pondered especially when the Cardinal starts to deal with the morality of it all - the spiritual aspect.
Remember that the brain is an organ like any other organ in the body and can become dysfunctional and/or diseased. Stating that we have a mental illness is on a precise parallel with stating we have cancer, diabetes or heart disease etc. Mental illness is simply an illness. What is more it is becoming known that “mental illness” can be a real misnomer as a generalization as very often it is a brain condition of some kind AFFECTING mental functioning and is hence a physical condition.
That we are possessed in some way of Satan belongs to the middle ages and a long past age of misunderstanding this illness. Anyone who even remotely thinks along those lines is probably more ill than we are.
I am a wife and a mother to three beautiful girls.
To start of, I was not spiritual or religious in the past eventhough I was raised Catholic and received all the Sacraments.

It was only last year (July), that I found the Lord. I called on Him during the most difficult stages of my pregnancy. I almost fell into severe depression and psychosis that time and was almost hospitalized. But fortunately, with God’s grace, I was able to go into full term and I had delivered a healthy baby girl. Congratulations on the little darling healthy girl:thumbsup: . I can only imagine the type of hell you must have endured re worry.

Often a conversion experience or a return to the fullness of our Faith is gifted to us through misfortune. I am very happy to read that you survived it all and I know how harrowing it all can be.
I am currently taking medications for my illness and there are still times when I would be paranoid about certain things. It is like a roller coaster ride as far as my emotions are concerned.

Certainly medicine in general and medications are a gift of God to humanity in the fight against suffering…hence to see one’s doctor regularly and/or take medication can be a movement in Grace of wisdom and prudence. It heralds and proclaims, witnesses to, the gift of God in medicine and medications. Let us pray mankind will never misuse these gifts of God.
Each day, I pray to God that I am hoping that He will heal me of my illness. It has not happened and I am not losing hope.

I know well those days and recall them vividly when hope and trust was at breaking point and it terrified me. Try and hang in there and no matter what happens dont give up on trusting God. I cannot say where or why, nor how, your journey will take you…but hope and trust in God I can recommend totally and without reservation as absolutely worth it - nor will God confound your hope and trust. Sometimes stretched to breaking point, hope and trust, even Faith, can seem to disappear - and this is a truly ‘dark night’…most often they have not disappeared, only our usual way of experiencing them…try to find someone of Faith that you can talk to openly about your illness and any fears and someone who will support and guide you through any of these ‘dark nights’ of acute mental and spiritual suffering. You may well find, and I am hoping so, much support and encouragement here on Catholic Answers.
I would like to know from the other people who post here if they think that God is still with me inspite of my mental illness. I don’t want to think that I am being possessed by the devil because I do have emotions.

If you read the Cardinal’s article you will insight just how much God really is with us in our mental sufferings and struggles. Like no other, a sufferer of mental illness shares in the anguish and mental suffering of Christ in Gethsamene and on the Cross. Our mental sufferings united to His are holy and salvific as are any and all sufferings united to those of Jesus.
I love my family so much and I am doing all my best to get better.

I think I have addressed your comments above already.

Welcome to these Forums incidentally and I hope it will be arewarding experience for you. There are quite a few of us here who suffer mental illness. While I am certainly stable and have been now for years, I know that the potential for mental instability hangs over me since I do have a clear mental illness and a major one. But for the moment I am very stable and try to take every single day just for that day i.e. only one day ever at a time insofar as I am able. If I should become ill again, then clearly The Lord has permitted it for His Own Good Reasons and I do pray at times that if this should happen that Faith and trust will win no matter the struggle. It is a suffering I know simply to need to walk with mental illness, though it may be quite dormant…what of those wonderful people, like yourself, who must engage in the battle daily perhaps. These people, including you, have the potential indeed to be great saints.
Thank you all for listening!

Rather, thank you for having the courage to share! 👍 May The Lord strengthen and guide you and also your family and may He grant you Peace and Hope and mental stability. Keeping you in daily prayer …
I sense you are reaching out looking for hope and affirmation of your hope - may you find it on Catholic Answers for one only…Blessings galore…Barb:)

I pray too for my own doctor that The Lord will speak and act through her and I always ponder her advice and discuss it fully with her. I take my medication religiously always too, thanking God for this gift to mankind and praying that we will hit upon theraputic medication for myself and for all. I think you are acting with the Gifts of The Holy Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding. And yes, there is every hope that you will be able to live a normal type of life…never ever give up on that nor in prayer either.

The great part about coming out publicly in a thread and stating that one suffers a mental illness, is that very often it can give real and active hope and encouragement to those who may read the thread and be searching for hope and encouragement but a bit wary of stating they suffer a mental illness. And it is no wonder, stigma we know in mental health is the biggest hurdle we must face and overcome to deal with our illness and lead a normal community life…which often the general community due to the incorrect stigma they do place upon us - and spread abroad – are preventing us from doing and creating needless suffering not only for us but for our families and friends, carers too. This incorrect stigma also precludes us from offering our gifts to the general community.

In short…God bless and keep you, Lizzie!!!👍

Here is another document from the Australian EJournal of Theology that can make heavy wading and reading at times…but if you persevere through it, it has real gems to ponder and take to heart.
cathnews.com/news/602/doc/10wds2.htm
"A Wilderness Journey – In Search of Mental Health"
by - Emma Pierce
Abstract
What does it mean to be mentally healthy? Is it merely the absence of mental illness or is there more to it than that? And what of the several contradictions between theological and psychological perceptions of what it means to be human? What insights might be gained by exploring and perhaps even reconciling what may be only apparent contradictions?​
Click to expand...

Two contradictions of significance to human life-formation – consciousness and redemption – are explored here within the framework of Raimon Pannikar’s theological anthropology. The overall assertion is that what it means to be a human person is synonymous with what it means to be mentally healthy. It is this realisation that demands a critical conversation between theology and psychology, and that this conversation take place in a context of pastoral care. A context of pastoral care ensures person becomes and remains the focal point, rather than becoming the peripheral ‘data’ of intellectual theory.

mslizzie,
Don’t let it worry you. I’ve been in the nuthouse 5 times because of demons and stress. They are powerless over me now . Dr.s have me tagged with ptsd, bi-polar and clinical depression. I have a wife, four kids and a house on 30 acres paid for. Life has never been this good! I have been blessed in many ways. Find your blessings and continue to hope! But if you have to carry this cross the rest of your life, try to have fun with it in some way and keep a sense of humor. Everybody has something wrong with them in one way or another. We just add spice to the mix 👍 . Tim
 
I want to thank everyone who has replied and for all the words of encouragement. I will surely take each of your words and will continue having an enormous faith in the Lord.

Just want to share to all of you that there was a time in my life (during my paranoia and delusions) that I strongly felt that I WAS ALREADY IN THE PLACE PF TORMENT, HELL THAT IS, AND THAT I AM NO LONGER ALIVE AND THIS IS ALREADY LIFE AFTER DEATH.

This is a very frightening thought and I am not sure why I have fallen on this belief. Whenever I had this thought, it will agonize me day and night, even during sleep.

My psychiatrist told me that this was one of the delusions and paranoia I am suffering from. He actually increased my medications when I told him about this hell thing.

I even thought that I was already the DEVIL and has been put by the Lord in HELL for my past mistakes. I just had the strongest feeling at that time that I didn’t survive my 1st suicide attempts (overdosed on sleeping pills).

I guess what triggered me to believe that I was in Hell, was after reading Saint Maria Faustina’s vision of hell. I let myself believe that I am already on that place of eternal punishment.

Once in awhile I would call my therapist and I will have reality checks. There are still times that I would feel that way.

Please bear with me. I know this sounds really crazy but believe it or not, I had felt this way. I don’t like to feel that way but I just couldn’t control my emotion at times.

I may sound pathetic at the moment, but can someone please assure me that I am really not in that place of everlasting punishment and that I still have a chance to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

I apologize for the bizaare thoughts.

Sincerely,

Liz

Hi Lizzie…no need to apologize - I just admire your bravery in speaking openly about your illness. You are definitely not in Hell
…psychosis and psychotic thoughts are overwhelmingly frightening simply because we really do believe they are real. The fact we do believe what is not real is what pyschosis intrinsically is. During my psychotic episodes in the past, I thought satanists had taken over the city in which I am living and that I was my number one target. I would be admitted into hospital a literal terrified mess convinced no one understood which they did not really, simply because those who have never experienced psychosis cannot I dont think really understand what it is like - how terrifying real it is. There was a passage from St. Peter during that time that came to mean a lot to me :

First Epistle Of Saint Peter
8 Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour. 9 Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls your brethren who are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you.

The words of Scripture breathe The Holy Spirit and repeating those words that seem to speak to us can bring strength, hope and courage. Be assured that what you are suffering will bring you the reward of Eternal Life and that you will enter The Kingdom of Heaven. The best of moves if these types of thoughts crop up is to get in touch immediately with your therapist and you are doing this. I know it is very hard and a tremendous suffering, but the more you fight these thoughts (and contacting your therapist and following advice is a sure means of fighting them) the stronger the well part of you will become and the side that is unwell will start to grow weaker. The other way is what you are doing, by reaching out to others for support and encouragement and reinforcement that what you experience is not real.

I have sent you a private message - have you been able to catch up with it yet? I know you are new to Catholic Answers, and if you go to the top right hand side you will see “Messages” underlined and if you click onto that it will take you to your Profile and the Private Message system.

Blessings - Barb:)

You are in a place of suffering, but not everlasting puinishment. Here’s how you know: do you love God? do you love others? do you have hope-- even the slightest hope of eternal life with God?

souls in hell don’t have that. no love. no hope-- not even the slightest shred of hope for eternal happiness with God. They don’t even have the luxury of fooling themselves about it. They have only the stark horrible unspeakable reality that there is no hope.

but you have hope. and you have love. your suffering, MsLizzie, is temporal not eternal. God is here with you. You are His beloved.
 
Mental illness doesn’t get miraculously healed. If you are seeing the doctor, taking meds and going to therapy you are recovering. You don’t need to be 100% for people to respect you and besides, who really cares what they think. In my journey I have yet to meet the textbook normal person.

This experience is called derealization. Look it up. I fight it often and have a stress trigger. I came close to dieing with cancer 4 years ago and think I really didn’t make it at times. It can be frightening and for me can go into psychosis if entertained. We have not been judged yet and this is the time of mercy. Some suffering may be purgative, but I don’t believe at this time that this is purgatory. Too many good souls here to be hell. So keep it real as they say and take care, Tim
 
Thanks, everyone. Your messages mean a lot. They have even brought tears in my eyes. I am glad to have found this site. It is wonderful.

I also post (sometimes) in the NAMI (Nat’l Association for the Mentally Ill) and Brother Ignatius Mary’s website.

As someone who is suffering from a mental illness, too often others (even family members) judge, ridicule, criticize, and belittle me. This has been going on for years. Everytime I hear these negative remarks, I naturally get hurt and at times embarrassed.

It has gotten to a point when I would just avoid being around these people, and alienating myself from them (except my children).

It is more than enough to suffer from this chronic illness. Then when I am around these people whom I don’t even see or talk to very often, I hear all kinds of hurtful and harsh remarks that can be too much to bear.

One thing I have come to realize though is, in this world I am unable to control other people’s words. They can say anything they wish to say against me. I am not going to fight back, instead I will ask God (honestly) to forgive these people for they can be so ignorant and cruel.

The only thing that hurts me is the stigma that most people put on the mentally ill.

When a person has diabetes or cancer, others sympathize with them. But when someone is diagnosed with a mental illness, people (most) walk away from him/her.

I have lost most of my family members since I got this illness(they don’t talk to me anymore), friends have walked away.

But that is okay.

It is okay because I have my my husband and children with me. I do communicate with my parents and sister on a regular basis(they’re in another country) and most of all God is with me every step of the way.

I can feel His presence through my children and the few people who are still there for me.

And lastly, it was the Lord who brought me on this forum to be able to talk to all of you and share my story.
 
Stay connected and don’t isolate yourself. The devil will use what he can to discredit your witness to God’s mercy. Stay connected and don’t be afraid of ridicule. Prayers out, Tim

MsLizzie, this is so, so tough. You are between a rock and a hard place that so few people can understand. On one hand, isolation and separation from people fuels depression and makes you dependent on a very few people.

On the other hand, you cannot, for your sanity and sense of self, expose yourself to abuse from “family” and “friends”.

My mom’s husband’s family has never understood her illness. They ridicule her and demean her. Being treated like this by them has been like poison for her. I pray that you do not feel an obligation to ever be around people like this.

IMO, this is an area of your life that your husband needs to step up and manage for you until you have been well for a long period of time. He needs to be very proactive here, and needs to treat the people who are making you feel uncomfortable no differently than a bigot. He is going to have to take sides against them in defense of you. He has to do that, or the attitudes of those family members will weaken you, it will weaken him, and it will weaken your children’s faith in you.

May the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
 
Honeysuckle, how did your mom take all these demeaning from others? How was she able to cope? Did she continue seeing them or was she like me who tries to avoid?

It really can be tough but for my husband and children’s sake, I sacrifice and swallow my pride by attending these family functions.(though I dread attending) They are my husband and children’s family.

I am a wife and a mother to three beautiful girls.

To start of, I was not spiritual or religious in the past eventhough I was raised Catholic and received all the Sacraments.

It was only last year (July), that I found the Lord. I called on Him during the most difficult stages of my pregnancy. I almost fell into severe depression and psychosis that time and was almost hospitalized. But fortunately, with God’s grace, I was able to go into full term and I had delivered a healthy baby girl.

I am currently taking medications for my illness and there are still times when I would be paranoid about certain things. It is like a roller coaster ride as far as my emotions are concerned.

Each day, I pray to God that I am hoping that He will heal me of my illness. It has not happened and I am not losing hope.

I would like to know from the other people who post here if they think that God is still with me inspite of my mental illness. I don’t want to think that I am being possessed by the devil because I do have emotions.

Dear MissLizzie,
Rest assured that God is absolutely with you. You are suffering a mental health issue and that is not sin and any sin committed during an episode I believe is not a sin.
Dear lady please concentrate of getting better for yourself and your lovely family. And I am sure we on this board will join you in prayer for whatever it is that God desires for you.
He already has shown how much He has loved you and thinks you are His beautiful daughter. Look at your family and friends and see the love and loyalty you feel with them and know that these are gifts from the Lord of Life Himself. You are loved and treasured by God/ Dont fret.
Blessings
GraceAngel.
