@Honeymoon Thanks explaining and supporting
i have only just come from my GP, he knows, and wants to discuss this with another doctor who has been dealing with me, before he gets back to me later today.
It is the sleep issue that is making this so much harder than otherwise. i am on maximum sleeping meds yet in state i do not even notice i have taken it. My doctor does not want to, or dare give me anything stronger than he has.
Please understand that i have been in much worse state and survived it, although my wife and family were key supports at that time.Now i have Jesus as guide, and i cannot disobey Him fro i love Him far more than my own life. He has kept me, as He has kept my wife, the horrible reality my illness has caused us.
Also understanding, as of recent, that the voices are not evil spirits, although never speaking truth ever, but my empath side, sitting on top of the hurts buried my past pre marriage, yet reacting to my loved ones in real life. This has been a real eye opener to me. And has even resulting in understand while overcome in one of my worst states, the voices loudly endorsing my very intentions warned i was and take measures to deal with that instead of follow the urging of my state.
@heartathome @Realness @ENKELI @Shaz51 @Appleblossom
Recently adding prescription medications, otherwise unavailable has so far kept me from being going psychotic because i have more awareness of myself in state i have ever had , not that i can stop it, but i can act on it understand how to best deal with the situation instead of bear it.
So yes i am concerned. i have seen my GP and hope to get a referral. My issue is deep distrust of the medical world - taking my freedom away and enforcing their ways once more and dump me in a mindless state were i cannot process my emotions at all and only want to die my miserable existence. i have lived like this for many years their will which apart of E.C.T treatments have not been beneficial but rather proved detrimental to my mental health more than anything.
i want to get better enough to be able to make conscious decision about what to do or where to go from here. Especially if my wife and me decide to part our ways
Also here at SANE i feel insecure with regards to sharing myself, although not so much this thread, despite the issues at times.
i find it helps me just sharing some of the issues i face, and how this is going, for it helps me ordering my thoughts, and feelings much more balanced. As well as get support and prayers aiding me struggling.
Also found AI helpful in State lately more than before. For at first it wast useless after i'm have been struggling a state and need to move out of it. However over the last week ion particular i have had far more support coming from how i think and feel when not ion state and need to reconnect with. Such is not reason or logic, although VERY useful in state, but only my faith in Jesus and God's word can get me out of a state. Not an electronic brain's denial - its incredible resistance to the (AI terms triggering or disturbing language and symbolism God's Word to us)- but NOT to me! For it means Jesus knows me even here and are the Words i need to (re-)connect with.
For example; the darkness rushing towards me evil voices - have always been my trauma memories freak, and often triggered terrible nausea bouts, making my state even far worse to cope with. However meeting Him also The Word last verse psalm 88, lived in state, has this darkness since made my friend - a Friend at such times. Where the darkness rushing terror now brings me His Friendship to resist.
So yes i want to survive this time, very much so, but two weeks of a growing depressive state, i had hoped i could sit out, and would bring me more sleep like it usual did, is now showing me there is a clear danger zone coming up my sleep pattern and needs action.
27th next doctor's visit, and hopeful a referral to a new one doctor able to help me more than my GP is able to do. (Doctor rang me back just now, and told me he be referring me to this doctor in the city who is qualified to help me about this, late this afternoon. My wife's and my prayer heard. Getting an appointment and travelling to the City next step)
(Once i went on four hours sleep for 12 months before i went psychotic, yet i was well supported during those times,)
Thanks checking with me.👍

Thanks for the feedback. You're right I skimmed over I Peter 1:23 "For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and imperishable word of God."
I Peter is densely written. It is hard to summarise. There are other themes I skimmed over also. I try to keep it positive and not too theologically detailed.

i have been feeling much improved from where i have been. Thanks praying folks👍
One of the first poems i penned about the time i heard The Spirit's Voice speaking to my heart The Truths Of God's Word. (The last verse was added a few years ago.)
Spirit’s Comfort
The Spirit whispers deep within me,
“Please do not fear evil’s cruelty.
Christ by His blood has set you free;
Come along and walk with Me eternally.
Though wicked ones strike out in envy,
In Me you walk the way of God’s decree.
For as surely as I live, you shall see
All your enemies’ final destiny.
This shall prove your Saviour’s victory:
Jesus Christ alive in you shall be.”
(My response to the truth speaking.)
I tremble, totter, and I shake;
My lips they quiver, and I quake.
What can I say to Him, my Lord,
Who brings the wicked to His sword?
What can I do but kneel in awe
My new life in the Spirit I saw.
(The outcome of His truth speaking that day! (added many years later.))
The life I live today, He showed
Many years ago upon this road.
Though many sins dragged me below,
The Spirit showed what I would know.
Christ’s own life replacing my iniquity,
For only in Him dawns true liberty.
And even as His love washes wrong away,
God is building His kingdom day by day.
Now I live more fully what once was shown,
His Life replacing the bad life I had grown.
For the New life The Spirit prophesied above:
God remade me through Christ's saving love.

Questions To Christ's Forgiven Bride.
When will been forgiven by Christ be forgiven enough?
When will more room remain for healthy growth in love?
When does Isaiah 53 still speak His sacrifice our blame?
When will suffering past wrong no more carry our name?
Lord Jesus, how can the forgiveness we received from You?
Be year by year withheld by judgemental accusations too?
How long must forgiven keep carrying past sin in shame?
When will Your righteousness be all believers Surname?
How come grave-digging remains for many their choices?
Where past wrongdoings nourishes condescending voices?
Deliberate avoid contact those not free from sinful needs?
While self-righteously forgiving their own daily sinful deeds?
When Lord will believers let forgiving love kindle Your flame?
Allow God's merciful love to hand fallen ones a new name?
How long will His Word's urgent warning tone be ignored?
Judgement, even unspoken, His grace for us has floored?

Proverbs 29.25 (ICB):
“Being afraid of people can get you into trouble.
But if you trust the Lord, he will protect you.”
A gentle summary:
This verse reminds us that living in fear of what others think can trap us and weigh us down. But trusting God brings safety, steadiness, and peace. His guidance is stronger than people’s opinions or pressures.
Proverbs 29:25 (NIV)
“Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.”
Biblical summary:
This proverb teaches that when we become controlled by fear of people — their approval, rejection, opinions, or threats — it can trap us spiritually and emotionally. But placing our trust in God brings security and freedom. The verse points believers back to faith over fear, reminding us that God’s protection and guidance are more dependable than human acceptance.

Thanks @heartathome for your post.
I prepared a longish post on I John but lost it when I tried to post it. I still have my notes - maybe I will post it later.
Hope everyone is having an okay day.

@Realness @heartathome @c-user1999 @Honeymoon @ENKELI @Appleblossom
Sad news. My wife and me too felt it was needed, for us to cut off altogether. Numb the rawness of it.
Me sharing how she could help from afar keeping the connection between us open had her call my emotional needs for to open and transparent about her feelings communicating good and bad - crap - and promptly cut connection all together. Also our counselling meeting in half a hour about this she counselled.😭 Every time i mention my side this is what has happened.
It is going to be harder getting through this. Yet in many ways i also feel relieved for i already kind of knew it was like this our triggers over the years, and then seeing her manipulate me total isolation and cut off. Not her 'normal' self, ore maybe more correctly the way i understand her hid her true self and is not prepared to see me or give me even normal times together any more. Like her chats to me, apart of any running the place stuff, only if i did. She used to check in on me a few days a day. Just to say hi and i her. Yet asking why this had to be and how that related to us she would not answer. Confusing me enormously for as na em-path i had struggled to understanding these 'anti me' emotions coming from her for the last 30 years. i understood why. but didn't to know why she would not be open about that, or what she was then thinking. For i might feel emotions content, sad, grieving, upset, happy, trusting or disbelieving, but this does not mean i have any idea what she is thinking about what, or even if such emotions are aimed at me. While the the voices often commenting what she did think, which now she, has been doing, while i still disbelieve the voices but she did really nullify my greatest need at a critical time and left me literally on my own.
We both are seeing very clearly this is not going to work out as we are trying to do. With me trying to get better and struggling to settle and catch sleep hoping for improved connection. And her saying that was crap! When such are the most important things our relationship as far as i am concerned. i have taken her needs and desires as well as weaknesses into account, been trying hard at least, why can't she? Such are the hard questions i have been struggling with.
This is why we broke up. i will still try to heal and write my book. And i hope she also will continue work on her issues. i said when you are ready to come come and talk you know where i live.i do not hope she ever will. That is much safer than holding on to her who is no
more there for me. i must have sucked her totally dry emotionally my need for her over the years. i know i did not now. i told her it would help me is he did.
Now i have no one who supports me no more, Church has been in contact but supports have been not given only when repentantly begged for and then just an one off, he should be happy now for a bit. And i hate asking people when i struggle, it can get loud and wild.
Hard to come to grips with right now. To let forgiveness rule all of my family and especially for myself is needed big time now next time i awake in STATE.However i think that this only is for as long as i cannot sleep her breaking away has been helping although a lot of nausea and praying to stay connected to let thoughts pass not run with them until i'm more stable and have had more sleep.
Please pray for me and us.
