Am struggling to pray right now because of fear and shame. Anyone else with BPD get like this on a regular basis?

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Its normal to feel shame. I dont have bpd and i feel shame about stuff ive done. You have to press forward and pray anyway. God knows everything already. He wants us to know nothing we confess will make Him love us any less. God loves you no matter what. Talk to God like He is a friend because He is your best friend. He also wants to be the best father you ever have had. Its amazing how much we are loved. God does help. Praying for you to press forward through the shame

No one in Christ should feel shame,if they have at least made an attempt at repentance,which is basically trying to turn around and stop a certain behavour. No offense,but i really don't feel a Christian has a right to feel unforgiven,unless they have molested a child or something...or even "offended" one is some way as Christ put it. So you want to trade your sin for mine...hope you feel better now!

~BTW-wasn't being condescending,but actually the exact opposite. And no i'm not a molester,but some sins are just as bad,and 25 years doesn't do a whole lot to erase the guilt. The worst sin is one against another person,and when you can't even make amends for it.
Anyway be praying for you...(if i don't forget!)

No,I pretty much agree that no sin is too great,except the "unforgiveable one". But blasphemy is hard to define so won't go into that. I think for me the hardest thing is simply not knowing how much damage i did to the person i "offended". I don't know where they are now,and sometimes feel God had wanted me to try to make amends. But the only time you should feel guilty is if you can make amends and refuse to do so,which doesn't seem to be the case with most Christians. Still,I wish God/Holy Spirit would simply give me that consolation/confirmation that it is ALL in the past now and nothing i can do now.
Think that would be a good prayer for anyone else struggling with this as well.

BTW, Jesus was warning the Pharisees about the infamous "unpardonable sin", not Christians. We might like to think we can commit that one, but it's impossible according to Jesus' own words.
Not saying we can't screw up the entire rest of our lives, and live the next umpteen years in absolute misery, but we can't make a liar out of Him, and jump on that unpardonable sin bandwagon.

I committed adultery for 7 years, ive lied and sometimes still do tell little lies, ive gone through a phaze where i was gay for years but have learned its not my thing. Ive stolen in my life, ive had many doubt and fears ect. My list goes on. But i can tell you that im forgiven and so are you. Just talk to Jesus about it and let Him know you feel shame. There is nothing you can confess that will make God love you any less. God loves you more than you know. Shame is normal but let Jesus have control. Just talk to Jesus He knows all already and still wants you in a relationship with Him..... He loves us uncinditiinally.
