'Were her thoughts really prodromal symptoms, or was it some epiphany in the external world.' by BambiFawn
Illness has a spiritual side to it, but are the voices in schizophrenia and ptsd really from just a chemical imbalance or from hearing in the spiritual realm or a demon speaking to the mind?
Any thoughts on this?

Hey dear @Faith-and-Hope,
I had a good day today, I went to the florist and ordered some carnations, box of chocolates and cheese and crackers, dips and assorted food treats for my Auntie today. My auntie was so happy.
I have recovered after some good rest and sleep of illness, but i have a rash that Doctor is coming to see me about, so I pray it is okay. He said he didn't think it was life-threatening.
Ya so it was a lovely day seeing the florist. I love flowers and the lady florist was lovely to talk to. I bought some fudge from there too. Fudge is my favourite sweet haha.
How was your day beautiful dear @Faith and Hope?
Hope you had a good day. God bless you.

@BambiFawn
I think when we start to see life in a 'different' way (some people call it mental illness, but I don't), it can be a spiritual experience. I see so much suffering that there must be a higher power to justify all of the things that happen in this world (and someone must know the reason for it). But I am working on being a kinder person as I don't want to contribute to any more badness in this world. I also hope the afterlife exists and that we get to account for our time on earth. So many people do bad things and got away with it, that I want the truth to be known. And bad people seem to get away with lots of things, so I hope there is some sort of atonement and justice after this life. Even if it is just God telling me that he sees everything.
@BambiFawnYour profile picture is so cute and always makes me smile when I see it. Your comments are also so kind too. I wish you some sort of peace in this life. x

Dear @girl99,
Thank you for your kind wishes. Yes, I have the peace of Jesus in my life now. His perfect love casts out all fear. 1 John 4:18
After many years I have learnt to trust in God. I give all my worries to God and he prays and intercedes for us. 1 peter 5-7
Yes, God sees and hears everything. Don't worry every careless word we will have to account for under the judgement seat. Man has to account for every bad word and deed. I too, believe wicked men should be punished.
I am staring at my big fluffy soft toy unicorn I bought, it is so sweet. I'll be riding him soon.
My cat keeps me feeling good and loved too.
I just love unicorns.........
Peace be with you dear girl99. Jesus used to say ' peace be with you'.

@Faith-and-Hope,I'm so pleased you had a restful day and spent it with family.
I have no mother and wish for no more contact. It is for the best after she abused me..
I received a letter from my dear cousin, and my auntie calls me everyday, so that is great. Yes, i am a traditional in the sence that I love to write letters and send cards. I love cardmaking and scrapbooking and love to write too.
Have a lovely day. Bless you.
