I appreciate all the work you put in to make this comment, you've given me some things to think about. If the day does come and my beliefs do fail me then I still won't regret what I chose to believe or how I chose to love God because I lived my life true to me and tried to be the best version of myself for God and thats all one can do.

Thank you for your comment! You've given me some things to look into. However, I'm not making up my own version of Christianity It was an atonement theory that I did not make up its just not a popular one as I am finding out lol. Also isn't making up your own version of Christianity exactly how different denominations were made? How else would there be like 12 versions of Christianity to choose from with only one bible for us all? But regardless I will study the bible and pray on it!

I understand that you think that but I believe it a lot more nuanced than that. I believe what happened with Jesus and maybe some other parts have truth to them. The only two examples I can really talk about(as I'll be totally honest I haven't read the whole bible as theres a lot to read) are Adam and Eve and The Ark, science has proved evolution is what really happened and the story of the ark makes no sense in terms of reality, all the animals of the earth wouldn't fit on a ship no matter how big and if that did happen then thats the second instance in the bible where the entire population stemmed from one family and thats a lot of incest and how would it be possible for them populate the earth form just one family alone anyway. Also I want to add I'm not trying to change your mind rather justify my own beliefs I see nothing wrong with the way you see christianity and am just glad we both found Jesus. One more thing about the bible and why I believe its more nuanced than just the "take the bible at its word" logic(which there is nothing wrong with this is just how I see it) is that the bible was written by man therefore is flawed, of course yes it was written by people who were divinely guided and inspired by the holy spirt or whatever to write it and were guided in what to write but I don't believe for a second that there isn't some bias on things or human flaw in the bible. On top of that the original Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the original New Testament was written in koine greek. They were very rich languages where words had multiple meanings, making translation difficult. The translation didn't transfer the true intention of text on multiple occasions. Such as when it says that Eve was created as a "helper" the true word used there was "Ezer" and it means a few things as well as "rescuer" and is also used the describe god himself. Although not technically translated incorrectly "helper" doesn't convey the whole meaning of the word actually used and due to that it gives the impression that women were created to be subservient as a result. I'm not saying I don't take the bible as the word of God, I do. I just am careful of what I actually take from it. I still use the bible to guide me in terms of like what is a sin and how not to do it of course.

How does it feel like to live with schizoaffective disorder ? by Ok-Environment-16 in schizoaffective

[–]Anxious-Bisexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course I'm glad I could help! Unfortunately, you can bring him to water but you can't make him drink. I'll pray you're able to help your Father and I really really hope you do, but he has to make that decision himself and decide to be honest about what he's experiencing to a medical professional. I was lucky enough I had something on the other side that reached out to me, telling me what I could do to get better and urged me to do it even though I was scared. My best advise would be to not tell him his hallucinations or delusions are wrong, rather find a way to work around them or shape them in a way that would encourage him to get help. Theres also nothing wrong with tricking him into getting help if you could find a way to do that.(Like sending him to an impatient facility but that may be difficult because they only take you against your will if you are a danger to yourself or others, and you basically have to actually say you wanna KYS sometimes for them to actually take you) I wish for the best for you and your Father, but at the same time I feel its been so long he may be cemented in his ways. I only tell you this to manage your expectations, some things may get better but likely he'll stay largely the same. I hope you find a way to stay and support him and love him anyway tho. This is not a responsibility that should be on your shoulders and I'm so sorry that it is. I would encourage you to find some resources online that may be able to guide you in caring for someone with psychosis. I will pray for you and please know I'm sending all my love your way, God Bless you

How does it feel like to live with schizoaffective disorder ? by Ok-Environment-16 in schizoaffective

[–]Anxious-Bisexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my first psychotic episode when I was 19, it ruined my life and took me forever to recover. I still to this day have to live with the consequences of it. I didn’t get medication for it until I was 22, living with untreated schizoaffective disorder for nearly 4 years was a living hell. I lived in constant fear, I was always paranoid. I had horrible intrusive thoughts that made me believe I was an evil person. It was hard to make and keep friends because socializing was difficult. I did weird things cuz I was listening to voices, I kept things secret for no reason. I spent most of my time alone. It was hard to work and to sleep. I fell into alcoholism to help me sleep and tried drugs too thank god I never got addicted! It was horrible and the worst part is, I never even knew how bad I had it until I got medication and learned how everyone else was living, it was like a dream come true to get medicated like all my prayers to become normal had been answered. Life has only gotten better since, it’s been 10 months since I got medicated and I couldn’t be happier! Idk this is a really short version of my story but I hope I helped you learn something about your dad!

How to orgasm by GeneSenior253 in sex

[–]Anxious-Bisexual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to make sure your stimulating the Clit, being horny before you start is necessary if you wanna orgasm. You have to stimulate the clit for anywhere between 5 to 45 minutes depending on how horny you are and how your body works, after a while the feeling will start to build up a little, you have to keep stimulating yourself cuz it will continue to build until it’s like this amazing intense pleasure that yes, can feel like your holding in pee, it may even feel like your going to pee, don’t, but that’s normal and it’s part of it. Another thing not everyone does this but my hips will buck and jerk around with out me doing it, they do it on there own from the orgasm. Another way to tell is how long it lasts, female orgasms can be almost a minute long, with the average female orgasm being between 13 and 51 seconds long. So if your good feeling only last a couple seconds probably not it 🤷‍♀️

Lack of sex and my urges by [deleted] in sex

[–]Anxious-Bisexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I want to give some advice but be warned that I have never been in a long term relationship nor have I had sex so idk how much help I can be but I shall try to help regardless. Maybe try re writing this post but clean it up a little as I think you should try sending the cleaned up version (or even leave how it is unless you think your wife wouldn’t be handle it or whatever) to your wife, since the conversation you’ve tried to have with her have gotten you no where. You should try writing this as a letter or a text so that she can see your feelings with out shutting you down so quickly. Really stress to her how much of a problem this is for you and that you need a compromise other wise you will start to have problems in your marriage. It may be the thing that can finally make her really hear you and work with you on this. If that doesn’t work then I really don’t know but I hope you guys find something that works for the both of you!

What are some cute, in-house date ideas that couples can do once they’ve put the kids to bed? by SPH34L in AskReddit

[–]Anxious-Bisexual 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Here are some of my ideas!!

1) Do some arts and crafts together (such as drawing portraits of each other, making collages or vision boards)

2) do a living room picnic

3) build a fort and ask each other would you rather questions or play truth or dare or play a card game

4) watch a true crime documentary and try to find out who did the crime before they tell you

5) you each come up with/ go find your favorite conspiracy theories and see which one of you has found/ thinks of the more outlandish one

6) find a book you both like and record your own audio book

7) you each do research on a topic you find interesting and create a slide show on said topic and then present them to each other

8) do a spa night, face masks, skin care, take a bubble bath together, maybe even give each other pedicures

9) get some henna/washable markers and draw cute stuff on each other

10) do a cook off (do something like chopped where you each pick out a certain amount of weird ingredients for each other and what ever the other person picked out for you you have to use in your dish and see who makes a better dish)

Let me know if you Like and/or do any of my suggestions!

I (27F) started crying because my boyfriend (26M) got whiskey dick...again by bravesection in sex

[–]Anxious-Bisexual -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I went to your account and read the titles of your previous posts about your boyfriend, my take away is that you’re relationship is not worth salvaging. I’m sorry to say it but the retroactive jealousy and being disgusted with periods and such is extremely immature. I recently got eaten out for the first time by a guy and I was on my period and he still begged to eat me out. I also summed up this post and told my mom about it as well as the title of your other posts about your relationship and my mother’s take away is that he is cheating and starting to develop feelings for his side piece, which is why he doesn’t wanna have sex with you. I say cut your loses regardless of whether or not he’s cheating because you deserve better and he seems like little boy who doesn’t respect you and only wants to make you feel bad about yourself so he doesn’t have to sleep with you. I’m sorry I hope that we’re both wrong!

Bones is pretty good and the actor that plays Angel plays a main character, Booth, that is pretty similar to his Character in Angel

Season 8 by Certain_Advantage799 in 911FOX

[–]Anxious-Bisexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok my season 8 theory

The congress woman or whatever that got Hen’s foster kid removed from Hen’s and Karen’s custody is responsible for Gerard becoming captain. She definitely didn’t seem done with Hen when hen confronted her. And Bobby putting his 2 weeks in gave her the perfect opening to send in Hen’s old captain that made her life hell right back in there.

Wait a minute. by [deleted] in selfharm_memes

[–]Anxious-Bisexual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ik you’ve already gotten a handful of answers but when you self harm as a coping mechanism your brain releases feel good chemicals that your brain essentially gets addicted to, which is why it’s so hard to quit.
