I think it's very true that violent films and video games etc. can cause problems too. With me, since the depression and the drug withdrawal, when if I see realistic violence in a film, or watch something depressing, I get physically ill. It's quite an extreme response. The mind has a huge amount of power.

What you said was:
"...my personal feeling from a Christian perspective, is that you have a spiritual something going on there... something in your subconscious you need to forgive for or ask forgiveness for. people without mercury poisoning experience the same thing. If that were me I would think the Lord was trying to tell me something in a way my ignorant self might comprehend. "

If this had been said to me I would honestly be offended. This may be the case for some, but for myself, and probably most or all of the people on this thread, and many people I know, it's got nothing to do with a spiritual crisis and everything to do with biochemistry being out of whack. That's really what I had in mind when I responded to you.
