I know what the Internet Says.
Oversharing can be an ADHD Response Etc.
Nobody that has ever Read any of my posts or even knows me in real life lately would ever believe that before my divorce. I did not share anything about myself or my personal life. Mainly because even though people say that sharing and getting it out will make you feel better. I would only feel worse when I did because now someone knows my business. Then I would feel worse. And sometimes I still do. However now my pain has trumped my fear of everyone knowing my business. And we all know as Christians we are told to confess to set ourselves free from the Enemy, Especially concerning our sins. Next, Gossip. What does everyone think about the fine line between gossip and therapy? The internet says, Gossip hurts when someone is talked about in not only a bad way, But just from the person talked about not being present. And therapy is suppose to be OK because it is meant for healing, Especially if it is to a trusted therapist that doesn't know you or the said person and it is in confidence, and it considered OK even though the talked about person is not present. I always personally feel bad about saying anything all later. It bothers me knowing that Everything that I have posted on this site is permanent and that the world can read it anytime forever. Especially if the person that I am talking about was to ever find out and read it. Even though it is the Truth. But as you can clearly see, I AM Still Typing. WHY??? Because my pain and Brokenness is Greater than my worry of the world knowing. I NEED Healing. I Am With GOD Constantly in his Holy Spirit. But only this World I can not be left alone with the enemy to run rampant in my mind any longer. I need the social interaction from other Christians that I have neglected to even try and do it alone for the majority of my life until now. So, as usual. Thoughts Anyone? It is OK to tell the Truth as I am Perfectly aware of How Crazy that I may sound to Some. And before anyone goes there. As much as I am in Extreme Pain and Loneliness. I do not have Any intentions of Harming myself or Others. I have Nothing but Love and am Surviving and Striving for Healing through Jesus Christ. I am not Crazy, Just Very Serious in My walk with the Lord. I will not let the Enemy win. I Admit that I can not do it on my own. Therefore, I Constantly Pray for God to either Help Me, Or Straight Up Do it for Me. And in the Meantime that is where Church and this Website. All of You Brothers And Sisters come in. I Appreciate God Bringing each and Every one of us together in His Glorious Name. AMEN 🤲🙏🙌

Also, One of the MAIN Reasons that I Am Posting All of these really personal things about my life is because I know that I am not the only one going through these things. So, If my own exposure Helps at least one person. Then it is more than worth it to me. And I am here for anyone that needs help as well. Regardless of how much that I need help. Thanks Again for all those who actually take the time to respond in any way that you see fit. God Bless...

All I know is, it's nothing we haven't seen many times here on this forum. Us old timers don't even blink at it anymore, much less raise an eyebrow.

One could argue that you should be MORE free to talk about it here, because none of us know any of the people you are talking about. There's no possible way it could cause them any harm.

Thank You, That is More than Reassuring to Me. Seriously, Thank You for that. However, Believe it or not. I May be just about typed out as I may have gotten it all out I Hope. 😆
 
Sharing is a pain relief for me, many as you say may criticize it, but it makes us well and you are welcome to share with us here. its a great way of bonding knowing we all go through same stuff. thanks for sharing yours.

Hi Michael,

Many of us here definitely understand the need to share and get things out, and you're welcome to do so.

I found CC when I was going through a very difficult time, and I've been doing the same as you ever since! Sharing my walk, and hoping others might feel a little less alone along the way.

What kinds of hobbies and interests do you have?

I'm sorry if you've mentioned these already in your other posts. I know one of the things that has helped me along with the serious threads is to also start threads or participate in discussions about hobbies, interests, and even just things we encounter in everyday life.

May God bless and comfort you! :)

Thank You So Much, You are an Inspiration to us ALL!!! 🫂
Hobbies??? I have actually thought about starting a, "light/fun" post. Because I don't want to wallow in my Pain. I really don't. 🙏 You May have already guessed my answer. I sadly do not have any other interests anymore other than Worshipping the Lord to not give up Hope of finding True Peace. I don't have ANY Interest in doing any and all things that I used to do. I even feel guilty like I am wasting time playing video games with my Own Son on the Weekends. And I Will stop there as I know the whole point was to make it light. I apologize to you and anyone else that took the time to read this if it sounds depressing. The Truth is, I am being matter of fact. Feelings or Not.
Again, It means A lot to me to even have the opportunity to be here. I am very grateful for this place to express myself without judgment through Christ. I DO BELIEVE IN THE WORD OF GOD. And I AM getting Stronger Everyday in My Faith. Whether My Posts seem like it or Not. Glory Be to GOD. PRAISE JESUS... 🙌
