Schizophrenia == possession?

Whoa! Take it easy

I know how frustrating it is when you know someone has a mental illness or disability and basically just 'goes along with it'.. but there is a big factor of not being in complete control of an illness or disability!

As much as I wish it was.. it's not as simple as telling someone how they should behave or get over their disability or illness.

I have a flat mate who I am trying to figure whether they have bi-polar or asperges.

I want them to acknowledge their illness or disability so they can then self monitor and therefore be less annoying to myself.

But that is just coming from me.

Any change has gotta come from the person themselves.. not from my own imposition.

I know it is frustrating when someone is extra loud or talking extra fast or getting very depressed and they basically aren't responding to anyone trying to assist.. or are actually enjoying the state they are in... but that is my own bias.

Don't worry, wattie. Barly is saying nothing about mental illnesses or disabilities. She's having a little temper tantrum by following me around post by post and inserting herself. She's doing God's will by harassing me all day.

Thanks for that. I am starting to think I need to have a break from posting in this site. It becomes a bit of an addiction..

Getting hooked on people 'liking' my posts.. then re-reading my own posts for the thrill... posting things that may be biblically sound but not supporting the post with scripture..

Me thinks I need to take another break from this site

Seems recently a lot of personally directed posts going back and forward in the bible discussion forum rather than just stating scriptures and positions and then responding to disagreements with scripture.
