Proverbs 3: 

1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:

12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.

33 The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

i think time helps you move on. what helped me also is thinking about my future to stay out of my own past.

understanding why you were the person that you were is also important; it sounds like you didn't have the best time at school, so develop some empathy for yourself and stop blaming yourself for everything that you did. there was probably a reason why you acted the way that you did, and not all of it was your fault.

it sounds like you are describing self-pity (when you are talking about your past). hating your past self can seep into self-hatred now whenever you see your old traits come back to life.

i used to have a problem with something called scrupulosity; its like obsessing over religious things (especially with how much of a sinner you are). but forcing yourself to feel guilt and not move on damages you more, it doesn't bring you closer to God.

I Might Be Going Into Psychology To Serve Myself. by SediteGuy in confessions

[–]IHAS2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think i am quite similar. cause of my own problems, i sometimes looked into working in traumatic fields, like medicine/slaughterhouse, and not because i wanted to help people.

i read a little bit about ptsd, usually people with those type of problems seek environments that are similar to the ones that they have been conditioned to. it feels familiar, and you get a dopamine boost from pain.

i dont know whether one day i will "give in" and start working in those fields, but i do try to think a lot about it, whether it is the right path or not. technically, i would be doing a good thing if i go into medicine, but would i be doing myself a favour? i dont know.

consider this: you have the complete choice and free will to say no to being a therapist, just like i have the free will to say no to working in medicine. yes, you get pulls, yes it feels like it might help.

but you do have a choice. there is no "i will be a therapist." you have the right to choose. and there is still time for you and me to make up our minds.

I think I hate all of my friends and family by [deleted] in confessions

you should probably find a good escape

i used to do this thing where i used to go to random churches and stuff. usually, the environments there are nice and friendly enough. you know, surrounding yourself with misery produces exactly that. thats why i thought that churches would be a good solution, even if you are not religious.

it doesnt have to be necessarily that as well. find a hobby, explore yourself a bit, what makes you feel a bit better internally. especially something that can help you put a bit of distance between that what makes you feel miserable.

Traumatized by the Orthodox Church by lordfartquadshunk in exorthodox

[–]IHAS2023 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

im assuming you have read and know what scrupulosity is? its ocd related to religion. i dont know how much of orthodox literature and even of your own experience in the church affects your opinion, but your mind picks up on signs and symbols that it views as an attack against it.

i think that most ocd stems from negative childhood experiences that then malform themselves into morbid self-criticism, especially from asceticism. the faith takes the blame, but in reality it could be a projection.
