“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.Matthew 6:14‭-‬15 (New Living Translation)

Forgiveness

And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.Hebrews 13:16 (New Living Translation)

Do Good For God

This inspired my life to be a better person. Forgive the others for their mistakes and do good for the God.

“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.

A serious mental health condition like schizophrenia adds even more challenges to the mix. At times, it can cause psychotic behaviors, like hallucinations and delusional thought processes. It might be difficult for you to show your emotions, too.

Dating Can Be Tough For Anyone

As a result, many people with schizophrenia find it hard to start relationships and keep them. Others avoid it all together. But some are able to have healthy relationships.

Schizophrenic Find It Hard To Keep Romantic Relationships 

You may not ever feel like or be able to pursue a romantic relationship -- and that’s OK. “Your symptoms might get in the way of socializing or make you anxious,” says Lionel S. Wininger.But if you’re in treatment and your condition is well-controlled, it could be something to try. Though many people with schizophrenia do get worse, others do improve and can have successful relationships.

It May Not Be Right for You

When you’re ready, let them know you’d like to discuss something personal. For example, you could say, “I have schizophrenia, but it’s well-managed and I’ve been symptom-free for X number of months or years.”Explain that it’s a lasting mental disorder that can affect how you think, feel, and behave. Also let them know that while it can cause severe symptoms, you can also treat it so that you avoid these problems in the future.

How Do You Let Them Know?

Even if your condition is well-managed and you feel good, keep in mind that it may cause social anxiety and other issues that can make it a challenge to date. You could have trouble with focus or flat affect (when your voice and facial expressions don’t express your emotions). You may not speak as much as other people do, which can make it tough to communicate. It can help to work through some of these issues with a therapist. You’ll find ways to feel better about yourself and your condition.

Keep Your Expectations In Check

Stress can make schizophrenia harder to manage. That’s why it’s smart to ease into a relationship. You may want to choose low-key activities, like a meetup for coffee or a walk together, for your early dates. If it heats up, “It’s important to try to keep the rest of your life as regular as possible so you can stick with your treatment plan".

Take It Slow

Your medications may impact your interest in sex or ability to get aroused or achieve orgasm. If you do have sexual side effects from medication, talk to your doctor and partner about them. It could help to switch medications.

Know That Sexual Side Effects Are Common

If you and your partner get serious, you may want to bring them to a doctor’s appointments or therapy sessions.“A committed partner probably knows you better than your health care provider does,” Wininger says.“They can check in with you and help you pay attention to important signs [that you need to adjust your treatment], like feeling more down than usual.” A partner’s support can be one more way to live better with schizophrenia.

Take A Team Approach

Dating With Schizophrenia 

To the Christians; in my opinion, we read and follow the Bible is not to get better. We don't get religious and follows the God's words expecting that the miracles will happen all of our problems solved and the illness cured by Him. But, we read the Bible because of God. Because we want to worship the God. God created His creatures like humans, plants and animals because He wants to be worshipped and be valued as an absolute entity.

The Goal Is To Worship The God

We suffer, solve the problems in our lives because of God. God gave you suffering and pain because He loves you. He wants you to be closer to God. He wants you to vent, open up, talk and pray to the God.

The Value Of Suffering To God

We all do things in the name of God. Love someone in the name of God. Get married in the name of God, fighting the illness by getting professional treatment because of God and et-cetera! He wants and loves to be worshipped by us because He's great! The creator of the universe.

God Is Great

This inspired me to come back to God, pray and talk to him. Many people wants to be religious, read the Bible just expecting all of their problems and illness solved. But what's the reality?
