I had always been taught that to think something is as sinful as to do it. That's been very discouraging for me. I sincerely appreciate the insight and scripture.

I'm completely switching gears here, but your mention of biological basis makes me ask the question of those impacted by psychopathy and narcissism. Narcissistic individuals appear to have altered neurological systems, while primary psychopaths are shown to have smaller portions of as well as...

It sounds like a great time to get into the habit, and I hope you find it helpful! I can't say I hear an audible voice from above directing me. I more get a sense of calmness. I get a renewed focus on what God wants me to do, and I'm better equipped to handle life's many hurdles because of...

You're self-reflecting on some challenges you're having, and that alone is huge! No one currently on this earth has lived a perfect life. As far as things you've done in the past, God forgave you for those, and you should cast those thoughts and doubts aside as well. That doesn't mean don't...

Hi Caroline! I don't believe there is any issue with going to therapy and being a good, devoted Christian. After years of dealing with some really negative habits and trying to lean solely on myself and a relationship with God, I came to the understanding that I also couldn't do it on my own...

There are so many mental illnesses out there it's hard to sum up a list of red flags. I certainly can't speak to many of them. Until a few years ago I wouldn't have acknowledged that anxiety or depression were real things; all a choice of the impacted to feel that way. That said, I can speak...

Welcome! I'm new here as well and find myself in a very similar situation. I have the basics down, but my in depth understanding and even ability to understand is subpar at best. I have a personality construct that makes forming connections and holding attention quite challenging. There are...

That's a welcome suggestion, Cold. It seems so simple, yet it's something that hasn't occurred to me. If nothing else, an added conversation with God never hurts. Appreciated; that's why I'm here!
