I'm struggling.
And to cope, I (ab)use substances, like alcohol, weed and other stuff.
I want to get out, but I'm not ready to accept Jesus as my saviour, because I... well... It's complicated.
I DO accept Jesus as what he is, and that he saves People, a lot.
But...
For the moment, I won't be able to respond to comments in this post, because I'm heading to bed, pretty wasted.
I don't know where this thread will take me, but here we go.
Please, I'd rather not be encouraged to put all my faith in Jesus etc.
I do believe in the Creator, though...
Btw, GAW community...
Thank you for being here the last couple of years.
Edit: Wow, thank you for all your support! Iβll read all of it and will certainly get back to you all. ππ»ππ»ππ»
Cut the junk food, get some sunlight and go for a 10 minute walk every day.
Do that for a month and see how you feel. A better mindset will result in better decisions, which will lead to better results.
You already know this I'm sure, but if you believe in God then get off your arse and give Him a chance to believe in you.
Good luck!
^^ Rock solid advice right here ^^. I'd only add learning to sit quietly for 10-15 minutes a day...focusing on your breath. The only sure fire away to short-circuit that runaway monkey-mind that drives people insane!!
I have a problem where if I focus on my breathing, then I find that I can never feel like I am getting a full and satisfying breath, because breathing manually is shit and then I think about how I can't find a comfortable spot for my tongue and then I just end up an uncomfortable anxious wreck
