    Intent

    I had to laugh a little bit at your story. I'm not laughing at you. So often, I wonder if someone took something I said or did the wrong way. True, God does know our intent. That's a great story!

    What Not To Say To Survivors Of Abuse

    So I hope you then told him, "Just because someone calls you Pastor doesn't mean you're working for God." What an awful experience for you. I am appalled by what this highly uninformed person said to you. I hope he's your "former" pastor because he got voted out of your congregation.

    The Holidays

    Here it is that time of year again. The Holidays. I'm already feeling so depressed. For anyone who was molested by a family member and struggles around the Holidays... I identify with you. I feel once again like the one messing up everyone else's Holiday plans not wanting to be around the...

    ...jokes *possible triggers*

    I agree. What's even worse is the image that all child molester's look like that. Often times they are the clean-cut, well-mannered guy that would do anything for anyone and everyone loves. It truly makes me sick to my stomach every time I hear a "Red-Neck" incest joke. How can people be so...

    Sibling sexual abuse

    Hi Snockums, I agree 100%. And age difference has nothing to do with it when one sibling has control or power over the other. I feel more concerned for your granddaughter than I do your grandson. For I too was sexually molested by my older brother when I was a child and again as a teenager...

    Side Effects?

    Hi Everyone, Have you ever had negative side effects from a new med for the first 2 or 3 weeks that eventually went away? I'm particulary interested in knowing if anyone felt agitated/angry? What were you taking and how long until you felt like the med was working? Thank you

    Negative Side Effects?

    Hi Everyone, For those of you on medication, did you experience any negative side effects during the first couple of weeks such as agitation and/or anger? How long did it take until you noticed improvement? I feel like I should write another question, but, can't think of one right now...

    5-htp

    Hi QUannie, I am so glad this is working for you. I tried 5-HTP once and it kept me up all night and I felt awful the next day. Maybe I should stick with it longer. Did you experience any negative short-term side effects? How many mg. are you taking of the 5-HTP and how much of the...

    Hopeless

    I wish I would just die. I am too weak to take my own life. I feel hopeless. I just feel like a little child and so completely completely completely completely completely alone. Very alone. God may be there but I don't feel him at all. Definitely not in the people I am around. Definitely...

    Whatever

    I've pretty much had it with Christianity. What is "forgiveness" suppose to be anyway? Something to make me feel guilty because I can't do it. I will never forgive my brother for being inappropriate with me. It did mess up my life. I will never forgive myself for leaving this stupid town...

    what happened???

    Hi SearchingSister, I think you need to go to your female doctor and get an examination. It would be wise to not sleep in the same house as your older brother ever again. From what you've shared in the past it could be a blocked memory. Of course, I wouldn't want to say for sure. It...

    Any Books On Binge Eating Disorder?

    Hi Everyone, Does anyone know of a good book on the Binge Eating Disorder? I know it's a fairly new recognized eating disorder and I've yet to find any books on it. Any books I've found have been more like a diet with rules than on getting to the root of the problem. Any suggestions.:help...

    Overweight and depressed over it

    Hi Ruth, I indentify with you in a way. I tend to binge though. Not sure if you do that. I will eat fine and then something triggers an emotion and I will mindlessly eat handfuls of chips or a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's. It's like I'm pushing down the feelings so they won't escape...

    sever ocd

    Hi drummingman, What helps me sometimes when praying is allowing the Holy Spirit to take over. I also think it's okay to be angry. You just need to think of ways that work for you to let the anger out. These would be ways that aren't harmful to you or another person. Hitting a punching bag with...
