i've always been a spiritual person, though i haven't always been a 'religious' person in the sense that i attend a particular church each week. i guess i'd say i most identify as catholic, but only becuase that's what we did growing up. the problem i'm having is this: i had a manic, psychotic break a few years ago, and one of the symptoms i displayed was being overly concerned with religious things--i was seeing entities in my house, afraid of demons, all sorts of things. now, when i'm better (not well, but improved) i find myself turning to the spiritual side of things to help me make some sense of what happened in my life. but when i try to discuss thoughts like this with close friends, i'm often met with questions like 'are you having trouble again?' i guess i just don't know what's 'ok' thoughts about religion and spirituality and when it becomes a problem. to me, it feels very different than it did in the past, but am i actually just gearing up for another bad time? i just don't know, and don't have anyone i can ask about this, becasue they all just seem to think it's an indication that i'm headed the wrong way again.
