    Scapegoat or Black Sheep theory?

    Press On I've also read that the narcissist may subconsciously sense which one in the family is mentally stable enough to actually see through his/her little games, and therefore starts scapegoating that child and destroying the child's credibility with false accusations. Because one day, the...

    Scapegoat or Black Sheep theory?

    The curse of the scapegoat is a heavy one but God has amazingly turned the tables by also blessing the scapegoat in a unique way. Because the scapegoat has been treated differently from the rest, he/she is not under the narcissist's spell as much and gradually starts seeing the truth about the...

    What TO say to a survivor of abuse

    Your future need not be influenced by your past. God makes everything new and when you accept Jesus as your Saviour, you become a new creation. He gives you a sound mind and a spirit of power, love and self-discipline. There is hope and a future for you! If you belong to him, it is your destiny...

    I want to die so much I can't stand it.

    Beloved, there is hope for your future. Your life will change. Make sure you are yoked with the Lord. Most people do not have the glamorous life you think. I know two absolutely beautiful young Christian blondes with everything going for them and yet they are unhappy in this fallen world. True...

    Going crazy and need prayers

    I don't know Abilify but SSRIs can cause intense anxiety during use and upon withdrawal. It is horrible. Speak to your doc, there is help.

    Antidepressant

    I wonder if feeling depressed due to being lonely is not actually grief instead. After losing my two loved ones, I've been deeply depressed but no anxiety at all. Anyway, I finally went onto citalopram for a couple of weeks and it really works, starting to work after only a few days. Side...

    How many past 50 have hope of finding love again?

    I read recently that men over 40 don't want to get married because they don't want to be tied down any more. They don't want commitment, they just want to do their hobbies, travel and have fun. I think if you're a woman of over 45 or 50 it would be best to forget about finding a partner and to...

    What Not To Say To Survivors Of Abuse

    "I can't believe any of this. Your (abuser) is such a lovely, sweet, frail old person." Hearing that just cements the nightmare, because I know it is perpetuated by endless lies.

    I am Bob, hello.

    I would like to seriously say that 46 is not old and you honestly need to change your thinking on that. If you see yourself as old now, what will you think in 10 years' time? Your're in the prime of life. Others will see you as you see yourself.

    When the discouragement comes back, read it (and the Psalms) again. Be blessed God's beloved.

    Really depressed I don't have any real friends

    Hi Fossa. No one, please note no one is a waste of space. Depression gives one a negative outlook and self-esteem issues, and could affect friendships. Some depressed people withdraw from others. It is good that you are seeing a professional as long-term depression may require medication. Most...

    struggling with life (Triggers)

    Hi Kinsey, first off I want to say that no man who rapes a woman is a Christian, and no church which makes people seeking the Lord feel rejected is a Christian church. I've had ugly, discriminating, hypocritical treatment from the so-called church and beleve me, I finally realised there are a...

    Biblical and other support for those Hurting badly!

    Jeshu. Did you write that? It makes me think that I'm not holding on to the Lord Jesus as tightly as I should. It is like the only way to win the war against depression is to be completely sold out to Jesus and I haven't been doing that. I believe your advice is true. Thank you!!! Be blessed...
