hoping it'll be therapy for you. I'll also cross paths with how the can affect mental illness or othe
mental/spiritual challenges.
Too often we in the community of mental/spiritual illness come across people that are more than likely sincere and genuine with their perspectives on what we go through. Fact is, I'm not interested in your sincerity as it relates to what "I" go through unless you've experienced that exact same thing. Most of the time, many haven't. Just my thoughts.

How can a mental illness strips you of body, mind, soul, and religion?
Mental illness taught me a lot about religioni, self, faith, and the world through a new lens.
Repetition of behavior, actions, thoughts, and words are everything.
Here we discuss the slow rise back up to the top. There is no overnight success story
as it involves mental illness or spiritual warfare. Consistency of patience is key.
Another grounding/centering technique to help you deal with the intensity of depersonalization, anxiety, and schizophrenia. Also, this is great for maintenance as I still utilize this technique today.
Do you know the cause of "your" mental illness?
Good to know...(Keep some of it to yourself)
Quite often while dealing with various mental illnesses, 1 may feel like his/her reality is distorted.
1 may also feel as if they are living in multiple realities or a dream like state of mind and perception. This raises the question, "how harmful can virtual reality be to those dealing with mental illness challenges in addition to those who have yet to cross paths with the challenges regarding the mental?" In a world where distraction means everything, let's take a closer detailed listen/look at what virtual reality is capable of.
"TRIGGER WARNING"
Certain mental illnesses are capable of making you feel possessed. One could feel possessed by a demonic spiritual entity or even an alien like entity/being.
On this episode I take you through my bouts of feeling possessed by a demonic entity while going through the intensity of depersonalization, derealization, schizophrenia, panic attacks, etc...
How do you start from zero? What do you do when you don't even know or understand what it means to be human? Or when you feel like your soul is slowly slipping away from your body?
Warning: This has the potential to trigger or intense your condition.
How do you drive and focus while dealing with depersonalization, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts?
I'm often asked what it is that I do on a daily basis regarding therapy and meds.Without further adieu...
The basis of this podcast stems from articles read regarding the correlation of the 2016 election and the rise of suicide due to the candidates.
I was curious about how others with mental illnesses felt about the 2016 election, so after many responses to the posting I decided to speak on it.
This is simply a discussion about "Black Paranoia". Will this be considered a mental illness or does this lead to mental illness challenges. We take a dive into the mental obstructions regarding mental illusions/hallucinations around thought pattern as it relates to law enforcement.
