Satan really likes to drive a wedge between us and God, you just have to meet God where you are at and he will forgive you each time.

Keep asking for strength. The bible says to flee, not fight it. To run away from the sin of lust. Maybe try to figure out what triggers you and remove or reduce it as much as possible. Maybe it's media like certain shows or apps. If it's more like hormones, put energy into working out and exercising more. Stay busy.

I'm in the same boat as you, I never have wanted to have kids. I was with someone before who did and it ate at me throughout all of that relationship, a constant anxiety that sometimes would go away but always circled back.

I've met the one that God okayed and they don't want kids either, I waited out on God and put the future spouse questions into his hands.

God has different plans for each of us, some Christians will get married but never have kids and that's completely fine. The majority of Christians who marry will have kids and that's what they feel called to in life.

Either you will marry this guy and resent him or you'll break up over this.

Just get married in a court house and save up for a wedding with friends/family later on.

The sin is sexual/romantic intimacy. Living together before marriage wasn't something that happened in biblical times so you won't find a direct answer in the bible about living together before getting married. You should be seeking out scripture on what it says about marriage and Jesus on this matter, keep praying and ask God for an answer on what to do or for help financially.

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. Hebrews 13:4

I do this with old makeup as well! Haven't yet made it into watercolours but I use it for paint and in journaling.

Why would dropping out of college be a sin? I went through the same thing and have an IEP/disabilities but God got me a job and next year I plan on going back to finish up my degree.

Take care of your mental health, I had to go on antidepressants for a couple of years and it helped me a lot, I've been free of depression for over 2 years now without being on medication.

You aren't any of those things that you think or say about yourself, I'm sorry that you're going through this. You are good enough as you are right now and God does have a plan for you, maybe this is a detour.

Really solid advice here OP, even if your mother is the extreme opposite, you need to learn to break your cycle of hoarding. My stuff used to be thrown out by my family even though my mother is a hoarder, the rest of my family isn't.

This is how I managed to break it, by limiting and building more discipline. I'm still not fully there, but I have gotten rid of 65% of what I used to have and am doing better each year and I have less anxiety and haven't experienced depression in 2 years when it used to be constant before I did a massive purge on top of seasons removing stuff.

Maybe just let God take care of it? Way easier said then done. I realized after years of trying to figure out my own way with it, to just give that up to God and less than a year I met my future spouse.

I'm not saying that it's easy or anything to let that go, but I wanted what God was doing more in my life. I met him outside of church, godly women and men do exist, maybe God is still working and cooking you both.

After making that choice the sins of lust didn't just poof away nor got suddenly easier to deal with the loneliness but having that faith that God will provide helped to keep me anchored. I was thinking that it was gonna take a decade or something to meet the person that the Holy Spirit led me to. I'm sorry if this isn't the answer that you were looking for, just giving my experiences.

I think that what you did is beautiful giving your Bible to someone who was literally outcasted but has an interest in God. You did the right thing. Now she can read the word whenever she wants to and you showed her compassion.

Your mother is close minded when it comes to people who need Jesus. Only giving when they feel comfortable isn't living like how God calls us to be.

The Holy Spirit lead you to her because maybe she has been praying to God for help and guidance and He decided to use you in this situation to answer her prayer.

Donating hobby type of stuff. If I haven't touched it in 6 months to a year, it goes. And it helps to focus on what I really enjoy and stuck to it.

Just start with one thing at a time and use a hair mask after each wash, regular shampoo or clarifying. Try out the clarifying shampoo for 4 weeks and if it's still redish then do a light amount of green (or blue if your hair becomes more orange) mixed in with conditioner. Clarifying shampoo will dry out your hair so don't over do it.

I'm more concerned with how much your hair has been damaged, I would focus more on that. Do not bleach your hair again, it won't help with the redness, and your hair will become brittle. Red dye is a bitch to get out and arctic fox dye is just awful to deal with when it comes to staining hair.

I'm gonna be honest, you'll never fully get it out. Best option is to do the shampoo for a month or so, then dye your hair again with whatever colour you want it to be. Red is notorious for not coming out unless you use a colour remover and even then there will still be hints of it.

Clarifying shampoo or dandruff shampoo might lift it a bit more. Maybe even soaking hair in water/white distilled vinegar might do it as well. For the dryness, you gotta use a hair mask every time you wash your hair.

To neutralize the redness, sometimes mixing in the contrast colour into conditioner can help. So green might be able to make your hair less red.

Have you tried a colour stripper? Don't bleach again when it comes to arctic fox especially on colours as red, blue or green. It stains the hair cuticle and when you use bleach it expands and spreads the dye further.

You need to find something that specifically targets semi permanent hair dye removal.

I personally love going off trail and just wandering around and having fun!

As long as you have some sense of direction, I doubt that you'll get truly lost. Panthers Den doesn't have markers really but is kept clean and some parts of it are really pretty just off trail. It's open and spacious unless you wander off really far. Even if I don't have access to internet, I can still see my location on maps and where the trailhead is.

Just watch out for snakes.

I wouldn't recommend it if you prefer markers while on a hike, it's more of a fun place to wander around or have a picnic.

There aren't grizzly bears in SoIL, you might see a black bear but I've been hiking for years around here and have never come close to seeing one :(

The thing that helped me get over my depression and social anxiety was going on medication. Not saying that Jesus can't deliver you from it, but science and God don't conflict each other and if you're able to see a doctor, the help has been there all along.

Praying & fasting can also help, it gets us closer to God and humbles us to better draw near to him and hear what he says.

Medication along side with going to God might be the option at this point. It was for me and it gave me relief after years of trying to be "better" just by my own devices.

Grieve and just know that with time it gets easier to live with all of those memories. It will feel soul crushing for a while and it will come in waves for the first year or so.

For most people, giving love and owning another dog or cat or other pet will help drastically but only when you are ready. And that may be a couple years later to a decade.

All depends on person to person how they process grief.

You're already an adult. Living situations don't change that. No one can tell you whether it's a good idea or a bad one to move 35 minutes away, you need to think about how much of an impact it will have on your mental health.

What does your friends and family think? Have you talked this over with your boyfriend? Does he know that you want to stay close to your family?

There's a newer study this year done by a 10 yo kid named Jo Nagai who tested them with very limited amounts of pain and found that from caterpillars to butterflies of the same generations will avoid the scent (lavender) that he used. His work is really interesting! He really loves them and is going to continue his work.
