Sorry to kind of hijack this but, honestly, my first thought was "must be nice" and I knew that this would probably be other people's knee jerk reactions too. I am not healed but I do see a light at the end of this tunnel and I just wanted to caution other against writting off what you are saying.
I am incredibly happy that you've recovered and happy to see that you have such a deep faith in God. You are truly being the salt and light to the world and that is awesome. Congrats on your healing.

Glad you are well.
I also identify with your experience of being able to look back and see how the struggle was in the long term, beneficial for you. It was with me too.

Wow. I find it really sad that the only people who post positive things on this site get negative ratings. NOTHING the original poster said warranted negative ratings on his posts. He stated his beliefs, said that he respected others who didn't, and brought an overall positive message. If you don't agree, don't agree, don't passive aggressively lash out at someone who is doing something there is close to none of on this site, sharing hope and recovery.
Yeah, it's a little disheartening to say the least. It's funny, I've been getting negative ratings for talking about "spiritual" things as well. Though I didn't force my view, and made sure to say things such as "my experience," to clarify that they were "my views," not straight fact. Just goes to show. It's most likely the same few people voting down the positive or alternative posts because it threatens their personal beliefs. I'm not Christian, but I don't see how someone could be upset by what was posted here. When it comes to religion I say if it works for you, go for it.
I noticed my post about the power of intention was negatively rated 4 times... I don't understand how that could be offensive or viewed negatively which makes me think its not really someone who has a problem with the context, but most likely a different kind of problem.*waits to see the negative ratings*
edit: wow -21 so far? someones got a grudge?! lol... i sense a troll

Yes, I've also noticed that having any kind of faith is like putting a target on your back. It's really sad. There is nothing wrong with finding a center in your life and having a faith in a higher power to cling to. I mean, come on, what else do we have with depersonalization? If we don't have something, anything, to turn to and cling to, we are going to be completely swallowed up. If praying or believing in a diety is what gives you the strength to get through each day, that should be respected and celebrated, not hated and attacked.
The real truth is that we are all suffering enough. We really don't need to hurt each other. It shouldn't matter if you believe in something or not, we should be drawing together to try to bring comfort, support, and healing to each other.
