Christians: How to Correctly Deal With Drug Addiction/anxiety/depression?
Question by Luke: Christians: How to correctly deal with drug addiction/anxiety/depression?
I’m unfortunately addicted to a degree and have problems with drugs. Nothing illegal, thank god, I’m not that stupid, but I’ve been taking prescription drugs for anxiety, etc, and all sorts of other supplements, etc, caffeine being the least of my problems.
Drugs for depression, mostly over the counter, drugs for anxiety, mostly prescription, and other supplements/vitamins ,etc.
The problem is, It’s REALLY hard to distinguish what’s anxiety, to what’s depression, and to what’s spiritual weakness and lack of faith. It’s hard separating emotion from instinct and spirituality.
Especially when you’re trying to purify yourself, which is good spiritually AND physically. Don’t want to destroy my health or my liver.
However when going through the addiction/withdrawal process, it screws up my mentallity/emotions to such a degree, that I can’t think clearly, and in that state I’m prone to making MANY mistakes. Lashing out at people, doing unchristian things. HELP!
Symbolic things also happen, like I couldn’t sleep this night, I woke up, and found my virgin mary framed picture which was supposed to hang from the wall, on the floor. Kind of scared me.
I just feel like whenever I’m going through a tough time and perhaps destroy my faith for those few days, that God is going to hate me, or that the devil might feel it’s the opportunity to atack or whatever.
Also why do symbolic things happen like , why would my virgin mary picture detach from the wall and fall down, and I can’t sleep and I wake up.
It’s all a bit 2 much.
