Speaking of helpful mental health practitioners, I wanted to mention Beliefnet’s very cool new tool “Find a Therapist,” powered by “Psychology Today.”
I hope you don’t need it (you know, I wish you peace), but if you do, there it is!

i’ve suffered now for nearly 50+ years and have been on just about everything out there with exception of shock therapies. considered suicide and attempted early on in my life. realized there seemed to be something invading my body that didn’t have good intention towards me, and that to rid myself of it i had to accept this(hardest part)and fight. to fight i had to get help and the help that proved successful for now is using the name Jesus Christ. i had to order the departure from my body “others” that were taking up residence and had to get loud and forceful about it. we forget that there exists elements out of our realm and eyesight and we dont safeguard ourselves with help from Jesus Christ. you must be serious about this because it seems to provide the most soothing and long lasting remedy against the pain, to be free of them. also, realize that health is important and since our bodies are predominately water it can and is affected by the moon’s gravitational effect upon our earth’s waters. (full moon phase) I had success with one prescription, however it was so expensive I had to go cold turkey and venture out by myself. was under the care of a hospital for number of years until it became apparent they couldn’t continue to provide me with this expensive medication at reduced costs so i was grateful for the time i had with them. it scared me to realize that i would have to find a way to live without this rx and this adventure left me crying alot and totally out of my mind at times. no one to talk to about it but God. And He kept telling me to depend on Him but sometimes the pain became so unbearable my mind couldnt keep up. Adding insult to injury other life stressors like(menoupause, end of marriage, job, life as i knew it) i’m still not really sure if i’m sane, however, praying, cying, and reading have bought me to where i am now. there are some good books out there, but the best i’ve found is the Bible. i own about 6 different ones and i read them all daily, because this illness, i do believe is so subtle in its inception that we assume the responsibility of being sick from it when actually, i do believe it isnt an illness at all. just another means or way to control, us. this depressed state is too widespread in this world and there doesnt seem to be a pill that can be successfully taken by the general population that would ward off at least most of the symptoms associated with this “disease”. i’m not trying to downplay the medication out there just maybe relief rests elsewhere. not trying to alarm you, just suggest possibly better more permanent relief. i don’t take any medications now just supplements, exercise, and plenty of scriptural reading. no, i’m not a preacher or fanatic, just someone who is searching for answers to this ungodly pain, like you.
