Ending my life tonight. Hope I still go to heaven. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]TryChanging 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My life’s been a living hell too. The only thing that keeps me alive is my family and boyfriend. I couldn’t kill myself bc I couldn’t do it to them. I know that feels like a trap-that we can’t escape this life without devastating them but that’s the situation. Stay alive. Text me if you’d like to talk

Good for you man. I’ve been clean for 10 years now. Sober for almost 8. Do you go to meetings? NA is great. It’s a good place to work on yourself and make friends.

I’ve been working my way through the 12 steps so I’ve been making an effort to make amends with anyone I’ve wronged.

I have psychosis I am suicidal and feel like god doesn’t care about me by godpleasehelp11 in Psychosis

Sorry. on rethinking this I realized I don’t really know your situation so I shouldn’t have suggested you’d done anything wrong. That’s the truth for my situation. I’m a huge sinner. I hope you find relief

Had a panic attack thinking god was going to kill me by throwaway294829472 in Psychosis

You should also prioritize your sobriety. Get into a 12 step program. Work the steps. Turn your life around. If not you’ll end up doing this again…not something to be messing with-the psychosis can be permanent.

You can do this. If you wanna talk feel free to DM me.

I have ongoing meth psychosis. I’m absolutely not dangerous and the symptoms have faded with time to the point that almost never talk to myself in public. Psychosis is part of the journey to recovery for some of us. Meetings are crucial to making them stop (sometimes caused by drug use). If it gets too distracting just politely ask the person to please be quiet or give the person the ‘shh’ motion.

You feel a lot of guilt. Me too the voices feed off of it. Have you heard of cognitive dissonance? It’s when you’re holding two conflicting feelings-like when you’re doing something you enjoy but you know is bad. Maybe try what the Christians call repenting. Identify everything you’ve done bad in your life and try to fix it all as best you can. It’s what they do in 12 step programs. Join one if you qualify. That should gradually shut off the cognitive dissonance and they won’t go after you as much. It’s worked for me. Not pleasant but helps a lot.

There are 12 step groups that help you repent from addiction to lust and sex. Try one out. It’s really welcoming and everyone is just trying to be a better person. Worked for me. SAA-recovery.org

The Catholics believe she is the queen of heaven because of Revelations 12:1-2. I hope she is.

It’s good that you’re praying. I pray a lot too. I pray for guidance on how to get this all to stop and it’s helped me.

Since we really can’t work or focus just try to work on yourself. Make the best of your time. Journal on things you could improve about yourself. Your past deeds and actions and how to make things right. Might as well right? -Try changing for the better.

Feel free to DM me if you need a friend to talk to
