Worried so much about my own sin that I don't even know what sin is anymore?

[JohnnieGuy]

I have been worrying so much about sinning that now I'm like tossed up in my head, and I don't even know what sin is anymore. Like, I do, but I don't feel it is. I don;t know if anyone gets that. I am so worried trying to be perfect that I've lost myself a bit.

Bah.

Has anyone else been here before?

I don't know if i understand you, but I have gone through periods where
I was so afraid of making a mistake that I quit functioning. It seemed
like everytime I would try and "do good" it would turn out wrong. Paul
speaks about it in Romans chapter 7. I do think it's the work of the
Spriit of God to convict us of sin. I think he is clear and specific about
our sins. If it's a vague sense of guilt it's coming from another source.

No that's pretty much it. Like rather than be myself, I am constantly looking inward and feeling bad and trying desperately to be perfect. I know when I just let go then i am convicted of wrongdoing.
