One thing on my mind right now is......
I feel so far behind in life. It really weighs heavy on my conscience. Also I
@Heatherfeather123
Oh Heather. I've felt that way too, maybe even just an hour ago. Does it help to hear that you are right where you need to be? Hopefully, you can tell that to yourself. I get my best wisdom from nature. Gary Snyder once told this joke. Maybe it will give you a chuckle and a spark.
Do you know what the mountain asked the trees?
Whats the rush?
Hang in there. You can accept yourself even if you feel no one else does.

@oakhenge Thanks so much. I came home and feel so much better. I wish I didnt feel so awful in the presence of other Christians. Its when Im home under a blanket with my yarn and knitting needles in hand that I most feel Gods Love. Its sad I dont feel like I have fellowship in the church though:(
@Heatherfeather123. Been here. You arent the first to feel this way. Remember what got you the the church. It isnt the sin the other members are focused on,hate the sin-love the sinner it is you. If you ask for that forgiveness, you have to accept that God has taken those from you. No one in the church is perfect now or were before. They are simply trying to do their best. Get in a study group of like minded people-same age range and listen to the group speak. That is how I was saved. Faith/Prayer are Awesome things that carry into all parts of your life. Let yourself accept that forgiveness you ask for and do your best. Everyone at your church will be in your corner to help you get home. I believe in you!
I always think Im getting better but I dont, my happiness doesnt last. I always come back to hear terrible thoughts including hurting myself, and I know intellectually Im not a waste of space but I cant control my thoughts. I wish it was all better
My anxiety. I
being empowered
I have to do well on my Physics test tomorrow. Everybody considers me smart but I have to work super hard to get good grades in Science. I'm scared I will get a bad grade and ruin my future in some way or the other. But I also know that everything always works out. Getting a lower grade just shows I don't like science, which is the truth. And it's just proof that I will be happy writing and directing musicals in the future, not having to deal with the forces of friction. It's impossible to fail anyways, and deep inside I know that. Just working on reminding myself.

good luck! You can do it!
Its ok not to be perfect.
do it as you can, do it carefully, you will be ok!

That isn't true. If you have a bad grade doesn't mean you like science less! You can be sick or anxious and that can impact your performance!
To not mention some teachers are beyond demanding in tests.
Trust me, having 1 bad grade won't kill your career.
I used to think like you and my seek for perfection completly fucked me up, in the long run that goal isn't very realistic. We're humans. We constantly fail.
Not saying for you to not give it all , because do! Is always wonderfull and you feel rewarded. But if somehow you had a bad grade don't kill yourself over it. Failing is very important to also grow, professionally and as a person.
Either way, best of luck :)
People.
Am I even worth anyone's time? Can I even love or be loved?
@EBWhite2000
sure you are!
you are special because Inside of you there is an entire universe. Your feelings and ideas are precious and I am sure someone will agree. Search for it. The world became so small with the internet.
Remain positive despite being alone
Just think about my ex. We broke up in September.. and its been hard for me. We talk sometimes. But he wants to be friends wth benefits.. and still have that part of our intimate relationship. We broke up.. and I dont want to have that. We had that cause we loved each other.
Just feeling really confused and just going through everything. Dont know what to do
Im obsessed with my weight and am trying not to be. Since I was a kid and my parents put me on a diet, Ive struggled with mildly disordered eating and fluctuating weight. Im trying to overcome this ingrained obsession with thinness and learn to listen to my body and eat intuitively.... but its rocky. I want to not be completely immersed in worrying about what Ill eat, when Ill eat it, and becoming emotional over cravings.
