Anyone struggling with religious stuff?
Yeah my delusion interferes with having a “higher power” so that is frustrating.

I feel I’m special, in almost other worldly ways, how do u cope friend?
Do u mean ur delusions stop u achieving higher power? Sorry explain as u would a child my ignorance comes from simply not knowing how to communicate properly
I believe I sold my soul, I passed certain tests, and now I can see more, I understand this is my illness
The term “higher power” is used in a support group called Alcoholics Anoymous. It was frustrating because in many ways it just makes me think more about illness.

Did u drink, u don’t have to say, I had two years heavy drinking and alot of other naughty, very naughty drugs, my diagnosis meant in a way to me my sanity had already been lost after trying so hard to be straight, aa advisers tried to help but after I stopped drinking and symptoms didn’t budge they realised my alcohol use was due to self medicating, as I type I’m 3 glasses in, trying desperately to take my meds but I feel closer to certain things when I do, it’s conflicting
I was not put down as an alcoholic, but a binge drinker when things got too much

Yes I was in all likelihood self medicating too. They call this comorbidity.
I was also in an abusive relationship, my delusions revolve around the pain of others, I feel it, like a wound that must be tended and healed ASAP, how did u come to be on here friend?
Besides the obvious, takes alot to have a condition and reach out, at the moment I try to look at everything I can, and ask what I feel, I am sorry if it makes u uncomfortable, truly
I think you have a lot to say right now. I have to run an errand though… Hopefully someone else can help you in the time being. I’ll be back in about 45 minutes.
I mean it though, I think we have a lot in common.
I’m not uncomfortable it’s just that the one vice I still have left is calling. I’m walking to get smokes but there are benches along the way.
Seriously didn’t mean to punctuate this, but it’s a strong vice.
I am more religious due to developing SZ, but I kind of wish to be left alone by the voices, even though they’re somewhat nice now. I wouldn’t call having voices a “superpower” or anything like that, it’s pretty much a detriment since they interrupt concentration. They’re quiet enough now, that I can ignore them if I’m concentrating on something, but I want my normal mind back where I didn’t hallucinate at all.

I used to struggle with religion but i think what we can’t explain scientifically is the higher power.
I meant to go to church this morning but I missed it.
I cannot have a higher power. I think I might feel better if I could. I would feel like I’m being watched over.
I feel like I am the watcher if that makes sense like I’m not real, but made up of energy, I struggle with this as I feel sometimes if I were to die that’s my home, not this place, today I feel I can manage these feelings
