When we are labeled with a mental illness it sometimes seems as though we are held to a different standard. There are people running around everyday claiming to be healers and psychics and no one holds their face to the mirror like they do ours. Perhaps someday someone will but until that time it is just a fact of life and you are entitled to be just as spiritual as the next person.

Someone once shared with me a bit of advice that went something like learn from everyone, follow no one. Instead of sharing all of your thoughts only with the mental health professionals might I suggest you have a chat with someone who can speak with you in regards to deeper spiritual matters as well. Priests are very interesting people as well as a good rabbi can be a tremendous assistance. I do believe there are shaman in this world but I don’t know those marketing themselves as such qualify so be a bit careful.

I wish you the best.
