It's generally unconfessed sin, hope. If we're holding onto something or someone (an adulterous relationship, for ex.) that the Holy Spirit has already convicted us of, then that'll impede our walk with Christ. Prayers are unanswered, there's a surge in temptations, etc. Repentance and restitution, "casting aside the sin that so easily besets us.. ", is the only way out of that malaise. Of course, that's just one issue. There could be psychological issues as well. Peace in Christ.

Several questions, perhaps all good if understood correctly.
Perhaps none good if mis-understood, or as usual in the world we live in if bad advice is followed.
Notice the answers already (on not just this thread, but others over the months and years), from widely different viewpoints already.
For example, the first question: Perhaps everyone is "stuck" ? Whether they "feel" stuck or not is not as important as if they really are "stuck" - feelings can almost always be ignored in order to do what is good and what is right, if someone is trusting Yahweh by faith and trust in Yahshua (Jesus), no matter what the problems are.

The whole world was "stuck" in sin and in death once, for a long time.
All society is still "stuck" in sin and in death, whoever hasn't learned to seek and to follow Jesus, no matter what the problems in life are, Jesus brings the answer(s).

It has segregated me from society because people don't like the disabled where I live or on the internet. It has made me vulnerable to so much abuse with little ability to fight back without getting consequences. It has stolen my childhood, the most important time of my development and my most impressionable years. If I lived in the United States,

If I lived in the United States, it would have put my family in so much debt with all the pills, therapies, psychologists, and hospitals stays.

Only a few people find an answer to this, btw. (how to live without paying so much just to "live"; in fact how to "live" freely (as possible, God Willing)

It has taught me that life isn't worth living....

This is all too common in the USA, and worldwide, due to so many overwhelming parts of society opposed to God and not caring about people.
Our only real true unchanging hope is found in seeking God and His Kingdom, seeking TRUTH ALWAYS (rare everywhere, including simple helps for relief in many things),
always in all things with thanksgiving to God through Jesus Christ our Savior....

Autism.
I really hope God can give me a second chance at life without the autism. I want to just relive my life with no health problems or disabilities and just enjoy the life I never had on Earth. I don't agree with the fact that some Christians can have everything they could ever possibly want in life and even get Heaven too while I have to suffer first and then Heaven. Where's the justice in that?

Wayholka, I'm so sorry you had to suffer the way you have. For some, unfortunately, this life won't be very easy, yet, at the end, they shall gain all the fruit's of God kingdom. You just have to have faith. Also, I know this will sound very hard and cold, but maybe try doing mental exercises, small exercises where you turn a negative into a positive. If you are feeling a negative feeling, practice mindfulness (Have you ever heard of that? Google it), I have Borderline Personality Disorder and sometimes I see the world in a very black or white view. Not seeing the middle of a situation or problem, which causes me to react in not a normal way, as opposed to seeing the middle and seeing it a bit differently.
If you need a friend to talk to, feel free to contact me. I barely talk to anyone, other than on facebook. I used to do drugs, and once you stop doing them, your whole contacts list changes and you need to meet new friends if you want to remain sober. I've continued to struggle with this, on top of depression + anxiety, childhood abuse, sexual abuse later on in my teens and early 20s. So yes, life is tough on many many ppl. What has saved me from suicide or continue to do drugs is my sense of humor, optimism and creativity (love for music + art).
So send me a msg and i'll reply, ok?
I'm sorry I kind of hijacked the thread
