What's on your mind?

I wish I had time for video games. Looks like the Switch has a great library of games.

I got a pink Nintendo switch lite for Christmas last yr and love it.I have 5 games so far and a couple of games I downloaded.

Yikes, that sounds like a tough situation. It sounds like he may need professional help. Besides that your emotional and mental health are important too.

That he does, but he's backed himself into a corner such that he can't get it, and doesn't seriously entertain suggestions for getting it. I've said and done quite a bit to help him help himself over the last couple of years, but it seems only 10% of it landed.

I am seriously considering cutting off a friend of 22 years.

His mental health issues have led him to maliciously slander groups of people to which I belong. This isn't the first time, and I have talked to him about this before. Yet, it continues.

He has talked about killing himself before, and I have solicited prayer support when he has done that. If I cut him off, that will no longer happen. Neither will he get any further help from me, and he has definitely needed help in recent years. He's on an unsustainable path, he has burned through so much. If I do this, I will be letting him drown in his own toxicity and negativity, and he may end his own life.

Yet, I hesitate because I don't like leaving friends. I was the person growing up who would seek friendships, and not find them, or who would find them only to be betrayed later. The friends I did have were few, and they were not always consistent. I try to be the kind of friend that I wish I had growing up.

Maybe I'm just writing this so that people will pray for us. Maybe I won't do it, but I'm close.

That's incredibly tough. I'm sorry for you and for your friend. Sounds like they are beyond your help. They need a professional. Maybe reach out to a professional, maybe they can give you some advice how to get your friend into treatment. Idk. Tough place to find yourself in. But you have to remember that their actions are on them. You can only help them so far, in the end, what they do or don't do is not your fault. And you mustn't let yourself get dragged under too.

She is "Mai Taniyama" from "Ghost Hunt", one of my very favorite animes!!! Definitely recommend that one if you enjoy good mysteries and ghost hunting.

Oh, will do! Stay warm and stay safe, Sarahsknight!!

Remind me to look that up later XD

Cute!

That much snow in the African Serengeti is definitely a problem!

Okay then, that does narrow the field down a bit.


I would be okay to meet a woman from another country if I talked with her long enough and had a strong inclination there could be a possible future together.


As it is I am still hoping to bump into mystery woman, sounds easier than it actually is though.

I have Facebook. My picture's there. On another message board I used to post my picture was my avatar. I’m not sure why I’m so hesitant posting it here.

The wind just seemed unpleasantly chilly and ... ominous, somehow. ... Definitely not the normal pleasantness of winter chilliness that I am accustomed to receiving from her. Please pray for all of us in Arkansas that bad times aren't about to be had over the next few days.

So far, so good. The rain outside isn't even freezing on the ground.

I hesitate to post my picture here aswell. I have been very open on here with who I am, more open than in my real life around me. Here people know I am on disability because I am paranoid schizophrenic and I have also been talking about how I used to be heavy into porn. And much I pine over mystery woman from my neighborhood.

Denmark is a small country, and I'm from a rather small town. If I post my picture and someone recognize me I would not like that. I like the anonimity that I have a place I can pour my heart out, Without someone pointing a finger at me down the street.

Maybe you hesitate for the same reasons being form a small town, someone from your town or church may recognize you?

I'm not sure. On FB I'm pretty vocal (tho not really as much about my dating struggles). On the other board I was vocal about everything. Here I'm not sure why. Maybe it does have to do w/ someone from church recognizing me. Although they could just find that info on FB? So I have no idea .

I say this because you have seemed self-conscious about this at least once here in the near past, if I recall, Vinter. But trust me, no guy here is going to point a finger at you for having used to be into porn. ... or even still into it to any degree. You think at least 80% of us guys will be in any position to judge, whether from a godly or worldly perspective, including myself mind you? I just don't want you to seemingly always feel like you are the only one with any problems.

My church has an 'elective' on porn. The class is full. Apparently 20 people signed up for it w/ at least 5 on the waiting list. I was surprised & mentioned it to my counselor. He said some of them might know people who are struggling w/ it & so just want to learn advice. But keep in mind he's talking from a counselor's perspective.
In college I went to a big church retreat w/ a couple thousand people & you could take classes for a couple days on certain topics. Fighting porn was one of them. It was one of the biggest classes.
It's a big issue no question.

I don't think anyone here is pointing fingers. I feel at home here on this forum.

Good. As it should be.

A lady i came across in public today thought I was a student at SAU.

I was like, no ma'am, I am actually 37 years old, but thank you for mistaking me as a college student.

Ah, snow has appeared. @GodDoesListen55 did in fact cater to my request and sent Lady Winter back to me.

Based on what I've seen on Facebook, you do look a little young for your age.
