My advice is to seek the help of professionals who specialize in alleviating the symptoms of mental illness and call on a nearby Baha'i Spiritual Assembly to consult with. The Baha'i Writings all contribute to mental fitnss. You may not always "feel it" when yo pray and study, but by maintaining the spiritual practices and seeking professional help, you will achieve your heart's desire, I am convinced. Therapy works.

I am at a point in my life that I am really suffering. I try to fill my heart with God's love and fly above these feelings but sometimes I feel no connection. I love the Faith and I want to love myself as God's creation. I want to have that burning love but sometimes I don't feel like living anymore. What Baha'i literature can I read that touches on mental illness so that I can try to understand a way to be on my path and overcome this very difficult test? I need help. I need support. I live like this in a closet. I put on my happy face but I don't radiate like a spiritual being should. In such a loving community I feel so lonely. I pray that God will give me strength and answers. Does anyone have any advice?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20798109.post-43558071987665736552009-01-18T15:31:00.000-08:002009-01-18T15:31:00.000-08:00hi just to say that his blog now is http://amzuri....hi just to say that his blog now is http://amzuri.wordpress.com/author/amzolt/<BR/><BR/>and not amzuri anymorealexbr82https://www.blogger.com/profile/16013043496133778834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20798109.post-65424981109814021682008-02-26T10:41:00.000-08:002008-02-26T10:41:00.000-08:00You honor me...You honor me...Alexander M Zoltaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834377275741541185noreply@blogger.com
