    Burnout

    It's only for a temporary time. I take my exam this month. After that, I'm done with the meds. I'll never take it while in clinic. Yep, I do feel more aggressive, as well as more anxious. When it wears off, then it's just depression and messes with my sleep. Spent last day out of town at a...

    Burnout

    I took the vyvanse not because of concentration issues, but because I need the energy. I, like most people, can't study more than 4-5 hrs without being mentally/physically exhausted. No really, the feeling is akin to being intoxicated. I can barely read anymore after that and even my walking is...

    Burnout

    I really appreciate your response, it's very helpful. I've contacted my doc, he asked if I was depressed and I said yes.

    Burnout

    I've been studying the last three weeks for my board licensing exam. I was scheduled to take it tomorrow, but I cancelled. The last week or so I've been feeling exhausted. Sleep or taking Sunday off have brought no restoration to normal. During the three weeks, I've been taking vyvanse, an...

    Thoughts Please

    I for one don't believe in the Grand Socialist in the Sky that will force you or order you to take a job. You're not His robot. You can make decisions for yourself. He has called you "friend." He'll certainly show you some possibly good places to work, but nothing's stopping you from taking...

    I Can't go to Church.

    Maybe you could fellowship in other ways, such as meeting up with people for a bible study.

    Please pray for me

    If you feel bad . . . you can't be all bad.

    having trouble with my temper and anger

    Learn to meditate. PM me if you want to learn. I'm not being trite, anger is an impulse problem and you learn impulse control with meditation. Be patient with yourself, the problem didn't happen overnight, it's not going away overnight. The german proverb "First think, then begin" would...

    cast these demons out from my soul

    Christians can't be possessed. Also, like JustMe said, you can't cast out sin.

    What can be done about trouble concentrating?

    You probably prefer something more interactive than a sermon, like a bible study. I'll admit, I find most sermons dull.

    decapitated horse

    Perhaps it is an expression of you feeling powerless in a low point in your life. Yet, in spite of that feeling of utter weakness, there is some hope.

    What can be done about trouble concentrating?

    When I read your post, I felt like it was written by a younger me. ADD is a real thing. I'm a medical student who was diagnosed with it and I've done extensive research into it. Not able to focus is just one part of a whole cocktail of problems that comes from a lack of stimulation in the...

    Asking nicely doesn't seem to work

    "Excuse me" works very well to get people's attention. Life2Christ is right. Aggressive means you have no consideration for their rights, but only yours. Assertive is having consideration for both your rights and theirs. Passive is only being considerate to theirs. Each time you do this...

    The origin of the Altar Call...

    I'm a recovering altar-call addict. I was always going to alter calls, even after I got saved, hoping for some changes in who I was. It was all out of self-hate and improper guilt. Then I realized that even the best sin, that God loves me no matter. So I quit going to alter calls and became...
