health memior mental story true

My mental health journey and memoir. The incredible Grace of God, and my haunting tales of being insane.  This memoir is about faith and the incredibly bizarre journey God has taken me on these last 18 years.  I've spent years in psychiatric care and have been in and out of psych wards more times than I can count. The memoir is raw, and it can be disturbing. If anything triggers you please stop reading for this story is my truth. I find comfort in Jesus Christ. This is the story He has written for me so far. My perspective is that He alone can save, and when you lose your mind it is extremely comforting to know you are not alone. This is my faith journey, and I am looking forward to what comes next.All Rights Reserved

Hating God, Loving God by AlexanderKDavies

Hating God, Loving God presents the author's graphic and painful memories of being raised in a secretive, abusive, and manipulative cult, and how his childhood sufferings spilled over into a troubled adolescence and a deeply disturbed adulthood. In throwing off the lies told to him by the cult's elders, he also threw away any sense of God's love and mercy. His pain, fuelled by a hatred of God, whom he blamed for all his troubles, turned him into a bully, a petty thief, and, but for the grace of God, a murderer. Somehow, he survived adolescence, got an education, and set out on the road to making money, believing that the accumulation of possessions was the only thing that would earn him respect. But his pain persisted, and he sought relief in all the wrong places. Even the unexpected love of a good woman was not enough to take away the pain. Adrift in an ocean of despair, he decided to commit suicide. It was only then when he was at his lowest point that he was ready to accept a truth he had persistently denied: the truth that God loved him. After giving my life to Jesus Christ, who transformed him and renewed his soul, he went from hating God to loving God.

Reflections: A Journey of Overcoming Mental Illness and Returning to God by btgabet

The following pages are my reflections of my last 13 years battling with mental health issues and my recent return to God. These years have been filled with struggle, traumas, and pain. It's no coincidence that when these struggles started, I turned my back on God and my faith and spent most of the rest of these years in darkness, depression, and despair. However, since returning to my faith, I have experienced a tremendous amount of healing, and my life has changed in ways I didn't think possible. Once haunted with my past, I have now rediscovered hope in my life, and the sting associated with my mental health issue have begun to fade. Each topic in this book covers some aspect of my mental health journey and how God has transformed my life and my perspective. This is the story of my healing.

The Battles Within by msans1972

This book contains raw, unfiltered, and graphic material. These Psalms deal with real life battles- addiction, abuse, suicidal ideations, mental illness, self-harm, trauma, homelessness, loneliness, overdose, spiritual warfare, and demonic oppression. They expose fake Christianity and bring prophetic messages. They uncover the deception Satan weaves into Catholicism and Christianity. They pull the mask off holidays twisted into lies. And they shine light on the corruption of today's society. This is not a book of polite rhymes, sugarcoated verses or polished lines. This is blood, sweat, and tears It is written for those who are struggling and don't know where to turn If that's you-know you are not alone There is hope, There is healing There is Jesus 📞 Crisis Resources (U.S.) • Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988 • Substance Abuse Helpline (SAMHSA): 1‑800‑662‑4357 • National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1‑800‑799‑7233

Monsters Inside My Head by the-silent-siren

WARNING: Some pieces may contain triggers for those who struggle with any form of depression or self harm. Please read with caution. I will often rearrange the chapters in the way I see fit, so please be patient and keep that in mind. This is my first attempt at poetry. It will consist of shit that I've gone through/dealt with and ramblings from my screwed up mind. These works are purely fictional and not meant to be taken literally.

Revelations of Alba by yourangelwarrior

Based on a true story. I was born into pain - abandoned, misunderstood, and searching for love in all the wrong places. But through heartbreak, abuse, and loneliness, I found something greater than love itself. I found God. This is the story of how a broken girl became whole again through faith, how a voice from above led me through the darkness, and how, in the end, I didn't just find God - I found myself. ✨ A journey of trauma, survival, and divine revelation.
