    Anyone feel like you’ve been shouldering it all yourself?

    Hi prairie_rose; I understand how you feel when you feel that there is nobody who understands you or hears you or supports you. I understand how lonely and depressing and frustrating that could be. I have to correct somethings you had mentioned thou. You mentioned that "I also learned that God...

    Regret of being a late bloomer and older singleness

    Hi. I have to say that I totally relate(and then some). How about being 60 years of age(with chronic health problems), and most of those issues that you talked about(and maybe some different ones also). All of my friends are married and have children. I didn't even know what I am supposed to do...

    What is a "personality disorder"?

    Have you asked ChatGPT that question? Maybe it can give you some answers. It helps to try all available avenues of learning. You need to disect and learn about things that bother you, and the more detailed questions and answers, the better we can become equiped of dealing with them.

    I feel suffering, sadness and disappointment all the time?

    I feel if you find your passion in life, then life can become exciting. All my life i didn't know what i should do. I had many interests, but i didn't know what i am supposed to do, what am i good in. After i became Christian, now, of course, i have a goal. Grow in Christ, and witness to people...

    Does anyone else have it where they get a thought "if you dont do X a certain number of times, Y will happen?

    Ya, God doesn't work that way(with repetitious thoughts). The repetitious(condemning) thoughts is a process of our own minds(based on fears), or demonic opression(we have to make sure its not demonic opression). This is definetly not God.

    Struggling

    I think one good thing is that you are getting better and better. Another thing is, try to bring some positive activities and influences in your life. Try to keep your mind busy with positive, good, and wholesome activities that you like. Maybe a hobby, or music, or painting, or exercising... A...

    Can you talk to a doctor, or a therapist, or maybe try to get some prescription for your anxieties?

    Worrying about obeying God

    You have to understand that, first of all: God never pushes Himself on anybody. I dare to say that, even If you want to commit sin, He will never push you "not" to do it. He will simply and gently remind you that it is sin, because He is a gentleman. So, when it comes to doing something, or...

    ocd

    Hi Matheushorta; It's ok if the store sells counterfeit items(If you are sure they are counterfeit). It's on them, and If there is any trouble they will get in trouble, not you. You didn't tell them to sell counterfeit. Now, if the whole store is counterfeit, then it is best not to support that...

    Does anyone else have it where they get a thought "if you dont do X a certain number of times, Y will happen?

    I have to say though, not only this is not from God, but also a lot of times it is not from demons either, but a predisposition character based on our genetic traits. Of course, any involvement with the occult must be repented on our part. Our own false mental arguments and understandings of...

    Does anyone else have it where they get a thought "if you dont do X a certain number of times, Y will happen?

    Yes. This is called OCD. OCD comes in all kinds of different forms. Mine has to do with scrupulosity, and some physical checking of stuff.
