PROVERBS 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Don't try to do things alone if you don't have to
Isolation is exactly what the enemy wants us to do. I hope you stay for longer than just a few days though. Trust me there are people who can help, even if it is just simple company for now. I mean that with the truest sincerity. Because I have felt the same way and still do sometimes (I am just getting out of it now very very slowly).
You said you don't even know why you came to the site, maybe the Lord guided you hear? I don't actually know why I came on this site either but so glad I did. So don't box yourself in and away when you can get help, company, advice or just a friend to talk to okay
with love and god bless sister

Psalm 51:17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
Maybe you are where you are because that is where God wants you...Remember , He is the only One who is the lifter of our heads...
He sees you , He hears you , He knows you if you are in Christ , you are His...
Put on your full Armour that God has given you , and raise up your sword and shield , and come away a while and rest in Him...

From Isaiah 66 v 1-2
We r still human beings with all our human feelings and frailties , living in a very hostile and unspiritual environment . It's always going to b hard for us , we r supposed to b going one way and yet , this world and even our own flesh is pulling us another way . This is when we need to spend much more time with our God , reading His Word and talking to Him in prayer and cutting out as many worldly things from our lives as we possibly can , at least until such time as when we feel stronger in our faith and relationships with our God and our Saviour . We all go through trials on our journey to His Kingdom , some of them r literally torturous and deeply distressing . But through it all He is with us and , the harder we lean on Him the stronger is His support of us . Keep up with the basics , prayer and your Bible , these two treasures will get u through any and everything , eventually

David strengthened himself in the Lord… don’t be too hard on yourself. All you say is true however, we can’t do it without Him. So go to a good church where you get encouraged, do things to keep building up your faith, like listen to audio Bible, chill with some nice Christians for coffee, have bread & wine and remember what He did, listen to good worship music; it will all help you. We need to encourage one another. It’s not easy and often we learn more in the difficult valleys of life then we can help others. Read a psalm every night before you sleep, starting with Psalm 23. Ask others to pray for you. We need each other. God bless.
Deuteronomy 30:19
New International Version
19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live

Praise Jesus for your testimony of salvation. A powerful testimony.
I see hope in your post. You want to do what is right in the Eyes of the Lord. That is already the beginning of your journey to victory. Your self realization is the proof that God Holy Spirit is working in you.
We all struggle with something at some point or another. You are not alone. Believe that when you sincerely ask for forgiveness, God forgives. Walk in faith that God has forgiven you. Don't allow the devil to condemn you. God convicts; He doesn't condemn. If you fail again, repent, get up believing that God has forgiven your sincere ask for forgiveness and ask Him to help you.
Guard your heart. Be mindful of your emotions. It makes us vulnerable.
Prepare your mind and heart before the next temptation/situation. Have a plan/strategy about what you are going to do when you feel you are walking towards something you shouldn’t.
Learn something new/ get a new hobby/ pursue your hobby
Be in the offensive - Identify the patterns, pray against them, apply the shed Blood of Jesus against them and upon yourself every day.
Keep your focus on Jesus not on yourself or your situation. Yesterday was a difficult day for me at work and I felt anxious. But though it was difficult, I kept telling God that He is faithful and He will take care of me. May His will be done. I chose to do it and God gave me the grace to do it.Today I wasn't anxious anymore. The situation didn't change yet, but I have peace of God.
Being grateful and thankful is a great weapon.
Prayers that I heard from my mentor and I pray them myself.
"God, whatever is there near, around, or inside me that is not from You, kill it today once and forever. Order my footsteps. Put in my heart what You want me to do and give me the grace to do it. Keep me away from evil and keep evil/wicked people away from me "
God bless you and keep you always.
Also, read the Word and listen to an audio Bible as much as you can. Play an audio Bible (YouTube has many) when you go to sleep.
Don't give up because God has not given up on you. Hugs to you, sister.
When God created you, He also created a plan for your life. To discover the plan, we must discover Him. The closer you get to Him, the more of the plan is revealed. Precept upon precept. Line upon line. You discover God through His word. The thief comes to steal the word of God from you. If he can do that, you will never know God's voice or discover His plan. You need to be physically around other believers who can encourage you. Go to church and be encouraged. God is not condemning you. You just know on the inside, in your spirit, you can do better in your faith walk. This is the wake up call. Time to get serious about God's plan for your life. It's waiting to be discovered!
Luke 4:1-13
New International Version
4 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”
5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6 And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. 7 If you worship me, it will all be yours.”
8 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’”
9 The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you
to guard you carefully;
11 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”
12 Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
13 When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
