once upon a time...
there was a little girl who witnessed her brother attempt suicide many

times. she got beat with a belt daily and picked up by her hair for

eating too many chips. she got locked out of her house when she was 8

because she wanted to pick out her own outfit. she was told storys of

her father having sex with other women. she was sexually abused by her

boarderline retarded brother. she was made to sit in the time out chair

for hours at a time. her mother tried an exorcism on her and always

scared her with talks of demons. so her father eventually took control

and took her away from the abuse. her father was an alcoholic. she was

always left alone while her father and "step mom" went out to party.

she had been brought up very religiously and always tried to tell her

father what he was doing was wrong. this caused much emotional stress

on her and the ulcers continued along with breaking out in terrible

welps. constantly left alone with no one to talk to she would of rather

been abused. her step mother hated her and made the little girl afraid

to even leave her room. constant tension everyday made her feel as

though she was in a house of strangers. one night the step mother tried

choking her and her father saw the whole thing and denied what the step

mom had done. she also took pictures of the little girls room when it

was messy so she could prove to people how worthless the little girl

was. she recorded her phone conversations and was always scheming

against the little girl. there was never a place to hide and relax for

the little girl everyday was a battle to just survive through the day.

this made her feel very insecure. she had lost all hope and was very

depressed. eventually the step mother and her father divorced. the

father soon realized his "ex wife" had been planning to take his money

all along. she stole around 160,000 dollars.
things finally were starting to get better for the little girl who was

now no longer little.
most people dont know anything about this, she hides it. no one knows

the story behind everything. she appears to be normal and hapy but she

will always carry the scars with her.

Why is it that when I get messages from God through the TV. its schizophrenia, but when Moses gets messages from God through the burning bush, its prophecy?

I am what one would call an impulse buyer but the worst thing is that i will research whatever it is until i get it, i am only 14, so i will just keep researching or being obsessed over things. Then like 3 weeks later i am over it. So my question is this does anyone know any way i could try to avoid this from happening or stop my evil ways lol?

Sorry to get off track, moving on....... Whats a good way to wakeup myself this is me in the morning:

ALARM RINGS

For instance, it never fails. When ever I'm in a group particularly females, they tend to leave me out of things. Like today, the group goes to a friend's house and I am not there. We come back together and we're fine...Anyway what was suggested was a slumber party for tonight, the group say they are not going and I want to go but it doesn't happen. So I'm really trying really hard not to think that they are purposely leaving me out but actions like this tell me they are. I could voice it out and have voiced it but they will use a pity excuse to say "we're not leaving you out you're just busy". So what can I honestly do. My answer is to just leave the group and do my own thing because basically all my life groups they I've been in do this. But also when I am in another group or have distanced myself from that group they want to include me in things. So how can I deal with this constructively and not becomne a recluse or better yet just have associates and no friends?

I think i hav schiophrenia, and i need to type this fast cuz i keep forgetting wat i want to say. so...im gona put dots to show when i cant remember wat i say, so u guys can kno how i thhnk............1 dot is for every second......but i guess typin the dots every second would kinda MAKE me forget what im saying so im gona stop now.since i wud hav to concentrate on doing that.

there were no PSychiatric doctors in biblical times, so is it not possible that these people who believe they recieved messages from god,actually had schizophrenia? people with schizopjhrenia nowadays feel as though they sometimes recieve messages from god, i hav had such an experience.. so which is it, were the prophets of biblical times schizophrenic, or are people nowadays simply recieving messages from a higher source..my personal messages, i hav gotten from even TV. and these messages sumtimes make me extremely happy,sumthing that doesnt usually happen.because they were about how humans can liv in peace...

Hey, Everyone! Okay, here's a question for you: Would you rather be lucky in love or in lucky in the lottery (at least 5 million smackaroos)? Only pick one and please tell me the reason for your choice. Thanks! (I should be in bed right now, but this is fun!!)

Alright, I remember when I was in about grade 6, I went over to this family's house with my family. Before I go on explaining what I did there, I'd like to point out some attributes about my character which I feel might be related to this question I am about to ask. For as long as I know, I've feared my father a lot. He "was" rather abusive until I grew older. Anyways, I could never saw my opinion, afraid that my father might get mad. I could never do what I wanted...I felt caged because of him! And so it kind of affected my social life, I always feared people's responses when I was honest, almsot feared what they would think of my if I did this or that.
Now, here's this matter I've been wondering about...and have become so baffled about. So, on that day when I went to that family's house, I wandered into a room and so a ring (A wedding ring, as I found out later on) resting on the dressing table. I don't, but something drove me to take that ring, not because I wanted it...but I just

Symptoms of schizophrenia:

Delusions: false ideas that a person has about him or herself or surroundings (such as receiving special messages from the TV or radio, having unusual powers that no one else has, or being singled out for persecution)

I have actually had experiences like this, ive had phases where i feel i hav psychic powers, and that people are always using me because im so kind...

Hallucinations: sensations that are heard, seen, smelled, or felt that a person experiences while others do not. The most common hallucination is auditory – hearing voices talking negatively about the person or sometimes giving commands for dangerous behavior; however, not everyone with schizophrenia hears voices

I cant sleep because as soon as i close my eyes, i imagine there is a demon inside of me saying "im gona get u now boy" . i KNOW that this cant be real, but the FEELINGS i have are still there.

Lately I have been soul searching and I am looking for advice about my life. I was told I have a " personality disorder " of the Narcissistic type. Ive been wondering if thats true and what caused it. I have had a lot of trauma in my life but I sincerely do not feel Im in PTSD about it. I had cancer but Jesus healed me. I lost three deeply loved ones in the past yr or so but I know where they are in the arms of Jesus. I was badly injured in Jerusalem but so were many others. There was lots of panic all around and others were hurt much worse than me..I got some scars but I feel I am fine. I have had short memory lapses but quickly recover them. Some times I feel in shock momentarily because of all this trauma but I pray and it goes away. I do admit that today I was talking to a friend about some of this and I had a moment of this rushing overwhelming despair try to wash over me but I resisted and prayed and I was fine. I am wondering if Im oblivious or fine. Please advise
