Mental Health

I've spent the past several years trying to live with and understand someone who was bipolar, and didn't know they were bipolar.

There's been a lot of unnecessary pain, destruction and loss. The lack of being able to comprehend the behaviors, made it impossible to understand, much less explain.

Over a decade of hell..........

Finally, diagnosis and medication, has led to a more peaceful existence for all. Over time, some relationships have started to mend.

While Exploring the history of mental health, it was not so long ago all mental health matters were balled up into one diagnosis, and 'crazy' was the side term. "Hospitals" were build to house the 'insane' and what doctors did to people behind closed doors, was un humane and appalling!

So to talk about 'emotions' or 'thoughts' or 'feelings', could be condemning oneself to being committed to torture in the name of science. Over time, we've figured out that not all mental illness leads to crazy. We've learned a lot about medications, causes and coping mechanisms.  Therapies and counselling can help many people with lesser illnesses.

We live in a world that has separated itself from God.
We used to be
MIND BODY AND SOUL.
We used to have a spiritual sense holding our core together, by being connected to our creator.

I've spent a lifetime struggling with depression and undiagnosed 'anxiety disorder'. I've spent a lifetime striving to find God's approval. 
Personally, I've found much peace of mind, in my Bible studies and prayer. I believe in the power of the Spirit healing....

Would we be healthier mentally, if we were more connected to God? 

A subject for thought......

Blessed by God

Is it really Karma

The ways we think

• Karma - the negative in our lives will take care of themselves, what you do comes back on you.

• Scripture ole - an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

• Scripture new - You are not promised a good easy life. Your good deeds will be rewarded to you, when you get to heaven.

• Scripture - the devil can be allowed to torment you, and the more you seek God, the more the devil is going to mess with you. People living in sin, are already headed to hell. He doesn't need to attract their souls.

So when something bad happens to someone.... it doesn't necessarily mean they deserved it. Defying karma's rule. 

The sweetest girl in the world can die young from cancer. How many children have cancer.... Do they deserve it? 

The meanest killer in the world can get away with murdering over a hundred people...... why is he so lucky? 

So, is it really karma? is karma real? 

Blessed by God,

Life's good here @ the Bright side of the Barn.
