I hope you're doing well, Oyster! Have a blessed day! <3 :)

I'll be praying for your grandfather. I'm so sorry that this has happened. There are no words.

Hi everyone! It's been quite a while since I posted here. Please pray for my bodily health. I have really chronic neck and back pain that makes it very difficult for me to do anything. I have managed so far, but yesterday the pain was so bad I could barely turn my head. I really want to work on...

Hi Kisen, I'm so sorry about the situation with your husband. I am assuming you feel extremely hurt and disgusted by his behavior. From what you have suggested, it seems that your husband has a pornography+masturbation addiction. Not unlike addictions to drugs or alcohol, this behavior likely...

It's so good to be back here with everyone! I hope you all are doing well. God bless <3

I love all of this so much. You're right to say that I am not trusting God when I bring up my past sins to Him. I never thought of it that way. I have been doing a little better lately, and I think I've been finally able to accept that God has forgiven me.

Hey oldethennew. I really like this advice. While most of the shame and guilt I feel is about things that have affected me, I cannot deny that it has also hurt my family. I was very selfish and expected them to always be emotionally available for me. I think making amends with the people I love...

Thank you so much for the suggestion! I have been hoping to get involved with volunteer work. Maybe I can start that soon.

I actually have not read that passage before. I just read it and I really liked it. Thank you so much for this recommendation. I'm sorry you've been suffering the same way.

Hey everyone. I don't know what to say other than I'm feeling a lot of shame and guilt for things that I happened a long time ago. I feel so dirty and terrible. I've repented to God and I know He has forgiven me, but I still feel so broken. So please pray for my heart because it feels like it's...

I'm so sorry that you have had all these horrible experiences! I often wake up to panic attacks as well. They are so troubling. It's really hard to calm yourself when your brain is just screaming "DANGER! DANGER!" I'm glad that your symptoms have improved with age. My mom always says "I would...

Oh yes!!! I absolutely love music that is based on the Word! Especially songs based on Psalms.... One of my favorite worship bands is Enter the Worship Circle. If you haven't heard of them, you should check them out! It's so much easier to learn scriptures when they are in a song.

I'm kinda new to CC so I'm not certain how private messaging works but you can definitely message me! I'm glad that the link was useful to you! Dealing with a narcissistic partner is absolutely exhausting and terrible so I'm glad if I can help in any way.

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry you are experiencing dating a narcissist! I was in a relationship with a narcissist a while ago and it certainly did some damage. I think @morefaithrequired has some good advice regarding this topic. If you don't mind, would you be comfortable opening up a little...

I think sub was defensive because he was concerned that some people on this thread are minimizing or misunderstanding mental illness. This isn't an issue of disrespecting an elder, but a genuine concern that mental illness is continuing to be misunderstood or stigmatized in Christian spaces...
