    Living at home but wanting to take more control of my life

    I’ m 27 and still live at home. Nothing wrong with it, but it’s been almost 5 years and really want to branch out and move out on my own and live somewhere new. I struggle with social anxiety and work at a job that doesn’t pay too much to save enough to move out, so I’ve felt stuck for a long...

    Passion for God fading in my struggles

    I have depression & anxiety so it’s hard to want to go to church. I struggle with meeting people at church, so I don’t look forward to feeling alone there. Christian counseling has failed me multiple times, and I’ve tried meditating on verses. Nothing works to get help or support so my faith in...

    Faith should be personal...

    I’m 27, and while dealing with anxiety, depression, living at home, and struggling to make something of my life, I am trying to become more independent. However almost every Sunday my mother gets upset that I don’t jump up to go to church. I don’t look forward to being alone week after week as I...

    I've already tried that.I've tried everything. I don't have the money to see a psychiatrist, medications and therapy. This is why my faith is dwindling. everyday is a struggle. I've cried 5 times today.

    If God doesn't give us a spirit of fear why am I suffering from anxiety?

    I honestly don't know the validity of these medications. The mood swings are unbearable. I would need to see a therapist often to be able to manage them, which I can't afford. It's like hitting a brick wall. Why is it this difficult just to function normally. I'm doing everything I'm supposed to

    If God doesn't give us a spirit of fear why am I suffering from anxiety?

    Not anytime soon. It will still be an issue she will bring up. How can I explain to her that I'm an adult and should be able to make my own choices? She keeps guilting me like 'you need to be more serious' 'you will need him' 'get involved you can't just go to church one hour a week and be fine...

    After trying five of them and hating the mood swings they cause, I just gave up. I don't know what else to do.

    If God doesn't give us a spirit of fear why am I suffering from anxiety?

    Everyone says they've gotten better with it but it's gotten worse for me regardless of everything I've tried. I'm trying to get into meetups but they don't have events often so I don't know how else to meet people. All of my friends have their own thing going on so I need more convenient...

    If God doesn't give us a spirit of fear why am I suffering from anxiety?

    Yes but my mother is constantly on me about getting involved in church and going to Sunday school and all this stuff like I'm tired of being told what to do and I don't know how to say anything about it. I've dealt with anxiety since I was 11 I don't think it has anything to do with being out of...

    If God doesn't give us a spirit of fear why am I suffering from anxiety?

    See, I have to deal with my mom breathing down my back about me going to church even though I don't have the passion to go. I don't feel any different when I go and I can't meet people. I'm sure those are the main reasons to go to church. What am I supposed to jump out of bed for then? I'm fine...

    If God doesn't give us a spirit of fear why am I suffering from anxiety?

    I've tried so many for many years I don't know why it's so hard. I've tried absolutely everything. The church's counseling has licensed practitioners so I thought therapy from a Christian perspective would help. It hasn't. So I'm just so lost. And not sure where else to look for help. I've...

    If God doesn't give us a spirit of fear why am I suffering from anxiety?

    I'm just constantly miserable and alone suffering from social anxiety and depression. I don't know how to be happy if I feel like I can't control my emotions, thoughts, and actions. Therefore I become isolated and I'm just tired of living a lonely, boring life. I even try to get involved at my...
