Hi im Rivers48, from Australia. I registered this account ages ago but never used it but something has brought me back to this site. Me and my wife have been going through a tough time spiritually lately, not going to church, hardly praying, reading the bible. It just seems that everything...

My acne started around 13 years ago. I began praying to God, asking him to clear my skin, around high school. I presume God's answer was one of two below: 1) "No." 2) "Wait." Here I am 13 years later, battling acne still. I really don't know how I survived spiritually or mentally with this...

What do You do when you're stuck? My issues came to a head after a Mens breakfast at church, which I walked out of... I have never been good at defending myself or sticking to my guns... demanding what I want and need. Now, here comes God/The Church. I'm told to lay down my needs and desires...

A little bit about me: For a long time, I considered myself an Athiest, I didnt beleive in God and I cringed at people who would talk about God, saying stuff like "I love God", "God is our saviour".....I never saw why people believed such dumb things.... But now, things are different. Im a...

I'd like to request prayers for my mental health issues to be able to be diagnosed. I think having other people acknowledge what I deal with and help me would improve a lot of things. Most people invalidate me, say I am imagining problems or lying for attention. If I was diagnosed no one could...

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I ask You here for your prayers. Please pray for my mental sanity, so that I would have thoughts, because I don't have any. I can't function so as a normal human, can't work, socialize. I m feeling that I'm slipping into an imposed life. BR, Magiclevinho

So, I am a college student, and in my social work 101 class today, they had guest speakers from NAMI. Both of the speakers mentioned their stories and struggles with mental illness and management. I mean, it was emotionally hard for me to hear them discuss such dark times, but also as they...

My girlfriend has been to her family doctor and he has diagnosed her with depression via a chemical imbalance in her brain (I know that's not a full diagnosis but it helps) and she's on antidepressants and has even doubled her dosage since it wasn't effective before. Since then, it's only gotten...

The problem is that the person suffering from such a disorder tends not to identify himself as having any disorder at all. That means that suggestions that he or she seek treatment will often be met with a stiff resistance because they are perceived to be insults or unwarranted criticisms of a...

Hello, guys! I remember myself suffering from OCD since I was 14 (now I am 27), but I think it started earlier, I just didn't understand that yet. It was quite a hard experience for me as I didn't know about this disorder at all, so I was thinking I was just going crazy day by day. I didn't tell...

I attended private school until I was 11 years old. Faith was a huge part of my life. After entering public school I became very distracted. I was more focused on making myself more successful than anything else. Shortly after I joined public school, I had a dream that stuck out to me so much I...

hi everyone I'm back again. I've been struggling for a while very intrusive unwanted blasphemous thoughts and I feel like for the past few days my sins and thoughts have become worse. While I was engaging in a sinful activity it landed on the number "28". Part of my ocd I believe is kind of...

This is going to be long, so please bear with me. I am a 20 year old Christian believer who has been fortunate enough to have a loving Christian home whilst growing up. 8 years ago we have made a decision as a family to move to a different country to start a new life with better opportunities...

Hi there. About 3 weeks I was with a few friends and we took laughing gas. Not knowing the effects it can cause and not knowing at the time that it can harm and even kill people. I took it and it went horribly wrong :( my head started spinning and it felt like an eternity... A voice spoke to me...

This is a bit difficult for me to write because it involves someone I love very much. Over the years they have spoken about being promised or told quite big things from God, as yet none of these things have come true. They still believe them very strongly and prays and fasts into these areas...
