Loss is a pretty interesting thing. It’s quite powerful.
It brings about endless amounts of emotions.
It is also something that hides away for long periods and reappears at the oddest times.
Your title is very intriguing. I have never thought about doubting as a disease, but goodness, you are so right. It can be all consuming and in a sense lead to death.
I'm happy to read that the panic attacks are less. I pray that this continues and that the Lord take this doubt from you.
I've been reflecting a lot lately and finally feel like it's piecing together.
I have to say I have never felt so broken and alone than I have this past year. Praise God for that.
I truly am very blessed and have always been surrounded by such loving and supportive family and friends. This...
@Lanolin your neighbors are just being kind and friendly. Even if you aren’t looking for a new place, you should be feeling honored that they care enough to think about you.
Perhaps they’ve heard you talk about your mom and took that for being unhappy. Maybe they just assume that everyone...
I would not fault a guy for not talking about his financial situation in the getting to know you stages of dating.
There is a fine line between not talking about it or playing down a role and lying. I think someone could avoid the conversation without outright lying or making up a whole...
This is kinda heartbreaking. 😢 Bless you for being the best of friends regardless of age.
I know they probably feel/felt just as blessed by the friendship as you do, if not more.
Personally, I think you already have your answer. Your hesitation, questioning and lack of peace is a pretty big indicator. However, anything we say is simply advice looking in. You’re the one in person he situation and know more than we do.
Dealing with drug addiction of a family member...
@LittleMermaid what an awesome, very relevant topic!!
This is something I too have to be careful of doing. I wondered how I could care so much, want to help and still feel like I “wasted” my time. Then I feel major guilt for feeling that way.
The Lord has been showing me that I personally...
I get quiet, not always a withdrawn quiet though that can happen, but an observant quiet.
This is an interesting question, so I will keep it, but add, how does it differ, if at all, to confrontation online?
I was really blessed in reading Seoul’s thread about introverts and seeing how peacefully disagreements were handled. It made me think that with the hundreds of people on here, it truly is amazing that we are able to share and learn from one another as well as disagree with each other from time...
We are all broken. The absolute best way to help students and children that struggle is by forming a relationship with them. Spend time with them and listen to what they have to say.
Children that act out, act out for a reason. It could be for many reasons. They could come from great homes and...
2019 has been quite the year. I find myself excited for what the Lord is going to do in 2020.
A new year can mean so many different things. It could be a fresh start to some and just another day for others.
In thinking about this past year, what are some of your take-aways? What have you...
The sweetest gift that I received this season was one from one of my poorest students. Two of her most loved (dirty and torn) stuffed animals. Makes my heart ache each time I look at them.
My favorite gifts that I gave this year were my sister necklaces and date night envelopes for my parents...
