  1. Sexual issues and depressed please help

    I am 20 yrs old and I am depressed because I fear I will be forever alone. Since 3 yrs ago I somehow seemed to lose my libido and attraction towards women overnight. I can still see the beauty of them but don't feel any strong urge towards them or anything and find it very difficult to be...

    Discouraged...been unemployed for over a year.

    How do I begin? I've been out of a job since last march due to company downsizing. I was one of the few to be laid off. I figured I'd find a job soon since I had 6 months of unemployment. Therefore, I started applying every day with no results. I did a few freelance projects on the side and...

    Prayer for deliverance from gluttony and eating disorder

    Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I am struggling with gluttony, I confess. I tend to overeat and sometimes I have no self control when it comes to food. It is affecting my life and my mood very badly. I had bulimia but with God's help I stopped throwing up, but the overeating still persists...
  6. Leviticus Drives

    Just to mention of the Book of Leviticus these days, can evoke a groan. We just don’t put ourselves in the shoes of the folks in that book very much. But there is a way to do so, and it gets easier every year in this day and age. It has to do with depression, in other words, the personal...

  8. Healing from Depression

    Hello All, I have struggled with depression for many years. Two weeks ago I got prayer at church for it.

  13. Overcoming panic attacks and depression...

    I should probably testify of what I've overcome acting in Gods way. When I was 24 I came down with severe panic attacks. I felt dark inside and empty, and felt like I was going to hell. I worried and would have panic attacks that I would die and be sent to hell. I tried medications and doctors...
  14. How do I show my fiance that God is the answer to what he is seeking?

    I have been with my fiance for over four years now. To say it has been a bumpy road would be an understatement. He has dealt with a lot of mental struggles from *extreme* depression and anxiety and what some may even describe as a personality disorder. Many people question why I choose to stay...

    I started college like most of my high school peers did. I moved right out of the house, into the dorms, and into a very competitive premed major.
