  An Unsettling Experience

  by snowbird in

  in the year 2011, i was very ill with severe anxiety and panic attacks.. my psychiatrist prescribed two potent anti-depressants.. one day, when i was all alone, i heard a distinct voice say, "there are knives in the kitchen - small, medium, and large ...".

  the voice trailed off, but the meaning was clear: use one of those knives on yourself!.

  my niece in atlanta reported a similar experience when she was prescribed the same anti-depressants following a stillborn delivery.. i'm curious.. has anyone else experienced something like this?.

  Thanks, Paula.

  The JW religion is one of the most stifling on earth.

  It's no wonder so many of us became physically and emotionally ill while trying to keep up with its demands.

  Thanks, Cofty.

  Sweet Jeannette ain't a-scarin' me at all.

  Once you've been through the vale of deep shadow as I have, all things are relative.

  @NJWS

  I can actually feel your frustration because my now-deceased mother was the same way.

  So sorry about that.

  I find that refusing to become stressed (ABOUT ANYTHING) works wonders for me.

  Blessings to you as you deal with your husband.

  Love.

  I'm much better.

  Eating lots of protein and whole grain, drinking water, water, water ...

  ROFL @ Jeannette.

  Now I see why my family doctor would not prescribe them.

  NJWS, how right you are!

  I've since discontinued them and am making slow but steady progress.
