Mental Disorders

[GalTrav]

I was just wondering since these disorders are incurable. What's going to happen if a Schizophrenic or Bipolar is trying to LOA his/her Life Partner or Soulmate? Then wouldn't he/she attract another person with a disorder similar as his/hers? I would like to know your opinions, thoughts on this subject matter. Thank you.

I have a schizophrenia diagnosis. It is a lonely, devastating, frustrating experience.

Yes it can get a bit messy when an epileptic who is already possessed attracts another entity who follows orders from the fallen watcher named Asaradel.

The poor epileptic then gets a regular seizure on a 30 day Lunar cycle as both or all spirits fight for control over the single host body.

Having friends who are supportive helps a lot. My best male friend has it and I love him to bits.

He is lucky to have you. Really. I admire you. Not everyone is so lucky,

Just wanted to comment that my belief system does not
include the words incurable, worry or unbelievable.

Incurable, to me, means ...the cure simply has not been found yet.
Also, that there is nothing impossible with God.
I know, I know, I have heard it all on forums disagreeing...but
nothing would ever change my mind.

Take care

I personally don't agree with this. I believe everyone has the potential to be mentally healthy.
I personally believe schizophrenia can be cured.

Attracting another soul through LOA is only the beginning of a relationship.
To stay with each other the other has to understand and accept the mental illness of schizophrenia.
The free-will of the other soul plays an important role in the continuation of the relationship.

mental disorders are exactly that, a disorder, and they can be re-ordered.

i lived with my gramma a while back and she was so crazy that she drove me insane, litterally, i started developing bad "stuffs", i turned into one of those people that would rant to themselves walking down the street and the strees effected alot of stuff. i think the cure for mental disorders is a low stress enviornment.

Maybe they draw in those similar people because they will have more understanding and compassion towards one another and that opens the door for more healing and love between them. Or perhaps seeing your own personality traits in another is easier then witnessing them in yourselves. The truth is that we are to attract the things we need to grow and evolve. Perhaps the individual is stronger then they thought and the reason they attract others with disorders is because a window of opportunity is being opened to them. If anyone attracts a certain type of person then they should be asking themselves why they attract this person and what does that tell them about themselves. Then you have a new opportunity for growth and not another thing to feel "bad" about.

The main problem is, who gets to say what 'cured' looks like?

There are many cases where symptoms of severe mental illnesses have been greatly reduced without requirement for medication (everyone experiences symptoms to some degree).

I think you have made some common assumptions based on the bio-genetic medical model of mental disorders (for which there is no evidence). Of course when we use a model that is just made up, we don't have the right framework that enables recovery.

The medical model is losing traction in many countries around the world, especially in Europe, simply because it has not led to recoveries from 'mental illness', and in many cases, it makes things much worse. In some cases, though, it is appropriate.

In more modern times we are moving toward the 'Recovery Model' whose primary tenet is, recovery is possible.
