Just watched October Baby and started bawling. More than once throughout the film, but the ending left me up in arms. It was no closure for me. All I could think was, I relate so well to that poor girl. I'm not an abortion survivor, but I believe I might've been if it had been an option for...

Anyone have any experience with it? I'm just realizing she even was a narcissist, but it explains everything, fits my symptoms to a T. And I can't find anyone who specializes in it. Any idea what kind of therapy works best for this, and hopefully I can educate a good therapist who specializes in...

Please pray for me. I've been in a panic tonight. My PTSD is triggered, and it's really hard to control my emotions. I've been suicidal again -- big problem for a year and a half, and for many years before my Baptism before that. A professor emailed saying I'd been rude in class (for being...

THIS. Well, there are the monasteries. Though, yes, today, there aren't many of them, and they aren't very full. And in all honesty, I must admit that they probably aren't praying "head-to-head" against these evil prayers. The angels don't get enough attention or enough importuning in our...

I signed up for that conference...praying for a strong anointing... I'm really struggling badly right now, and I know I have such a sense of peace and such a strength to resist and shun sin when I'm prayed over in tongues, or even when I'm close to the flowing of the Holy Spirit in charismatic...

Thanks, everyone. I've really been struggling. The enemy is assailing me full-out. Strong temptations to suicide are back. I don't know how to deal with the pain. I don't know what it means to rely on God's strength. I don't even know how to pray in words much of the time -- I can't manage them...

Strong temptations to suicide are back. I know it's the devil, but the pain has been unbearable for many years. I've tuned it out for so long, but that means turning to distractions, sin, disconnecting, living a life almost devoid of integrity. When I try to live as I want to live, honorably and...

Thank you! I'm in Oregon now, but maybe they'll know of resources here, too.

Please pray for my deliverance and healing... Please pray for my friend, Monica, who is dabbling in the occult--actually, deep into it, I think. Please pray for my friend, Dory, and her family, who are going through a really hard time...

I am praying for this gift. There doesn't seem to be a charismatic community where I live, so I'm trying to figure out how to go about it. I need the healing and deliverance that usually goes along with charismatic groups, too...praying God removes any obstacles and grafts me into His Heart...

Please pray for me, brothers and sisters, I've come through hell. Again. The Lord has shown me how much I am in need of deliverance. Several people have told me this throughout my life, and it was clearly the Lord speaking and working through them. The things that they suggested worked when put...

Thanks. Unfortunately not, at least not until August. I'm on a lease, can't afford anything else since I can't work with the 7 classes - and the medical/psychological issues - but I am close enough to the end of the tunnel now that the light is real. I've already been accepted into one graduate...

Still on edge, and still struggling with suicidal thoughts. But I'm calmer and feeling more solid now that I'm forcing myself to buy food and eat more or less properly. I think it was in this thread that someone mentioned getting help - I started seeing a counselor at my university when this...

Thank you. I wish I had the words for a proper response, but I"m too much of a mess. God has been helping me. I feel a little better now, but I know I've got a long way to go. He's reminding me of who I am and why I deserve to live, though, prying away a lot of really toxic, terrifying things...

Extremely fragile, and questioning almost everything. Close to suicide.

I'm in too much distress to word this properly. But I've been through hell, I have severe brain damage, and I seem to only go down into the deeper circles as I try to climb out. I'm suicidal, and I don't know how to keep going, or even how to get any sense of direction here. All is confusion and...

Thanks, everyone. I went to the school counselor today, and she's put me on a "72 hour watch" through a local agency. I'm still at home, but I have to call in twice a day to check in. I had my first check in earlier when all was quiet, but now my nastiest roommate is back, slamming doors...

Thank you! Can I ask which translation you're using? The Ephesians passage in mine is different, but I liked yours so much I copied it into a Word doc. I've been reading every day, especially certain Psalms, but it is difficult at times. I know you're right about the repetition. Sometimes...

Thank you so much! I think your prayers are keeping me afloat right now. I feel so overwhelmed, and I don't know how to live up to all of the obligations pressing on me. They're like people at a bank, demanding to withdraw their money, and I feel empty. I'm scrambling to find and deliver funds...

I'm so sorry. I often feel the same way. Then I hate myself for "not doing anything" but it's like I'm paralyzed. This started when I was very little, so I wonder if I was paralyzed by the indifference or coldness of those who were supposed to care most, and the continued indifference of those...
