A question to those who have helped me

[Blaise N]

Hi everyone


This is a question to all who have provided aid and help to me in my times of trouble.


Right now I’m having horrible anxiety and I’m choosing not to reach out for help here because I don’t want to make anyone angry or annoyed or irritated or frustrated.
Speaking of those,my question is,

since I’ve been a member of CF,have I been annoying or irritating to anyone?,because I can’t find a Christian counsouler or pastor for help and this is the only place I can come to to ask for help.

I think people just want to see others do well and might feel sad for you if you make a lot of threads about struggling. But most of us know how complicated the world is these days. Almost everyone is struggling to in their own ways, whether or not they talk about it.

From your previous posts I think a lot of what you are going through is loneliness. I don't know if you are already active in a church but if not that could help. Some churches do charities like meals for homeless people to eat. Doing that would give you some purpose and help you make friends at the church easier. There's also things like joining a gym or an acting class. I'm just making suggestions since I don't know exactly what your strengths are. Maybe you aren't sure either but would find out if you tried different things.

It's a joke Blaise....although I think he is underpriced.

Hi Blaise!
I think it's time to take the focus off yourself. Help others maybe? This can be very therapeutic and can give you a sense of self worth. Our Father in heaven wants us to help others. Maybe if you take a step back from posting your need for advice and start answering others need for advice, you will be amazed at how quickly things can change. Afterall you are in the best position to help others because you have been there. My advice is no where near as valuable as yours because I have not suffered as you have. Hope you try it !
Be blessed.

I'm certainly not annoyed or angry, etc.

I hope you will continue to post here on CF. Do you benefit from people's responses here? You're also welcome to PM me anytime.

The kinds of issues you post about remind me of people who have benefited from medications. Have you talked to your doctor? Do you see a psychiatrist or psychotherapist?

Not to me; and I was having bad anxiety myself most of Sunday through Monday...
A lot of it stemmed from bad procrastination over work I had left undone Friday
(if that's any help)
"Do the things you need to do when you need to do them" is the lesson life is trying to teach me (I think)

This book though, was wonderful to me. I started it 9 years ago and just finished it
Maybe it will bring some peace to you as well
When I was a boy I read C.S. Lewis's Narnia books
This is the man whose books C.S Lewis read as an atheist, the man who helped inspire them, and him

You are not the first person on CF to struggle with anxiety and ask a bunch of anxiety-driven questions. I suspect you will not be the last. I try to help these people because I used to be like that. I understand that everyone is different and everything that goes into the anxiety will often be different - some may really have a serious disorder while others will not. What I can offer is a little help which may or may not be enough, depending on your circumstances. It took prayer by others and reinforcing what Scripture says over my feelings for many months to get me to a better place, so I understand that it's not likely going to be overnight for you.

You can keep asking questions, I would just ask that you remember and heed the good answers that were previously given before asking. That will help you.
