re: Ever had your life fall apart?

Sounds like you've been through some shite, but you're finally on track to getting it back together. A shitty job is better than no job.

You will appreciate attaining your goal way more than most, as you will know the true meaning of sacrifice. One day you will be rewarded my friend.

Good luck on your journey.

I just saw your thread about being an old virgin, no wonder you are so depressed man. Get out there and get a release, quick!


j/k, but good luck and keep your head up.

The OT gang is here for you bro.

But I find some daily running/exercise and volunteering with less fortunate helps your perspective.

Life is short.. play the cards your dealt and don't live in a self-made hell.

That was a convo with friends. This is legit.

Was that just a conversation?

Or was it about you, or whoever you may be dating that is fricking you up right now?

Sexual repression is a real thing and really does frick people up.

If you were talking about you, you need to screw somebody. If the girl is a 35 year old virgin? Something is wrong.

What makes you think life is falling apart otherwise? That question may be too personal but don't forget this is just a message board.

Also, are you in counseling? Sounds like you need to be. And that is not even a knock on you. You've mentioned sex, Jesus, and life falling apart in two posts. That sir is a shitstorm of emotion and guilt. You need someone to talk to. You can start with a pastor or the like, but will probably need someone more objective. Anybody telling you to pray it away if they are meeting you face to face? You need to find someone more serious. Telling someone to pray when they are questioning their very faith, is just more guilt.

Good luck man.

And honestly share SOME of what makes you think shite is falling apart. If you share too much? That's what alters are for.

We have free will. People talk about why God lets things happen, but he gave us free will. So all the things in our world are the doing of us.

Why pray then if there's total free will? Why wouldn't God, who's all powerful and allegedly omnipotent, intervene?

Yes. Just a convo. Unrelated to the lost relationship entirely.

I consider my life to be falling apart because of my financial situation, my mom's health occurrence, and the delay in entering school. Just all happened one after another. The relationship lost topped it off.

The financial issues are going to breed several other issues

I am a Christian, but I'm really starting to have some doubts.

The Good Shepherd parable I no longer understand. Ask, seek, knock as well. My yoke is light and easy. Then, he turns around and claims to bear your cross. In John, it says Jesus has overcome the world.

Well, son of a bitch, none of them appear to be the case in my life.

Go never promised happiness to anyone. He never told us to work to buy the things we buy. He said there will be sickness, death, struggle, etc. yet people get shocked when it hits the fan.

My father's suicide.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.

This is a good prayer. And one that I struggle with daily. Honestly, the strength of serenity is one the best aspects a person can achieve.

I am not in any position to advise, but I can give some encouragement. We go through life one day at a time. We can only make decisions which we feel are best at the moment. Opportunities of what we can do for ourselves or what we do for our family have to be taken one moment at a time.

Its easy to lose heart in something you believe (faith or anything else). Just ask yourself "how much does my faith mean to me". In most cases, it means alot more than what you think.

Fear and anger can cloud our judgement, but you just have to find that inner strength. Love, faith, trust, determination or whatever that means to you.
