Peace of mind is my goal. I think it is more difficult for the mentally ill to achieve it but that’s what I am working on.

I always pray for peace in my life. Jesus is the Prince of Peace so I feel He has real power to bring peace to those who seek it…

I feel a lot more peaceful after letting go of toxic people (my Ex Boyfriend and his family).
I feel less stress and can do what ever I want to do. I’m beginning to slowly become my old self again, although it’s difficult. I forgot who I was.
My Ex would restrict me from being who I am. This was going on for five years.

He would:

  • Not let me wear my favorite colored clothes
  • Not let me talk when I had something on my mind
  • Yell at me and not let me talk
  • Hit me
  • Not let me express my opinions
  • Not compliment me ever
  • Never said “I love you” to me unless I initiated it
  • Be very controlling of me
  • Not let me hang out with people that I actually felt relatively comfortable with
  • Want me to hate my family and never let me talk bad about his family
  • Guilt trip me about anything

Glad he’s an X,. Sounds really abusive.

That ex sounds horrible. I am glad is he now gone. Please do not repeat the same mistake. I think you can achieve peace of mind by accepting the illness and realizing it was not anything or anybody did to cause this. Having this illness is just beyond your control. One thing you can think about is that maybe there is a reason for you having schizophrenia. Maybe it saved you from something or somebody or some mistake you would have made.

ive found peace of mind the past 6 years, wishing peace on others helps with ones own peace, also being righteous enhances total well being

whatever makes you feel bad drop it and whatever makes you feel good do it

by helping others you help yourself

it’s not so much the problem, its really the ‘‘attitude’’ of the problem
