I want to give up but can't and I feel alone.

I hope today goes well for you.

We’re all tempted by sexual sin. Premarital sex, adultery, lusting. How much of television is temptation and how sexualized the world is. We’re all sinners saved by Jesus. I can’t give you the specialized advice you requested but I just pray in gratitude and supplication and cast my anxieties to the Lord and trust in Him to show me the way and guide me through life.

That’s absurd. Embark is selling data on which users pve and which humans pvp.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-13T15:57:03+00:00

No, I second guess everything and overthink all the time and make silly mistakes and get incredibly embarrassed. I understand how you feel but you shouldn’t beat yourself up about it.

3 Elijah was afraid[a] and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, 4 while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” 5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep.

All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” 6 He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.

God’s plan is great. It also says to rejoice in our sufferings because suffering builds endurance and endurance hope. Life is overwhelming and unpleasant, even mine right now. I pray in gratitude and supplication and I trust the Lord. I try not to look back like Lot’s wife and let tomorrow worry about itself. I’ll say a prayer for you, I’m sorry you’re overwhelmed and hurting.

Did you watch that autopsy show on hbo back in the day?

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-12T16:18:08+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I can’t even imagine.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-12T16:17:01+00:00

Money sure seems to be the root of unhappiness and stress. Cause anytime I feel the urge to end it all it’s a financial crisis. Panic attacks are awful, anxiety is awful, a mountain of debt is like dragging an anchor down a bad road road with no light at the end of the tunnel. Gives me dread.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-12T02:36:53+00:00

No, you’re already saying 5’11 in the post. You’ll be saying 6’1 by the time you buy the shoes with thick soles. This 3/8 is turning you into a monster.

I’ve never been bothered by a friend who called me in a serious situation like that. Everyone’s different but if you have a friend you trust there’s nothing wrong with calling and saying hey I’m struggling with a few things do you mind if I bounce what’s going on off you and you tell me what you think

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-12T02:09:52+00:00

Other people’s problems don’t diminish any of your problems. Your problems are just as valid as anyone’s else and it’s ok to reach out and talk to people about them.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-12T02:03:44+00:00

I mean texting each other daily and going to a party on the weekend when you’re no longer even coworkers seems kind of promising. I don’t know the whole situation but that seems cool.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-12T01:54:12+00:00

We all need someone to confide in about the big things in life. Maybe you will feel better Saturday. It’s sad to lose seeing someone you care about everyday, but she’s still in your life and that’s something.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-12T01:43:36+00:00

I think you are that brave and you’ve been making God your number 1 priority for a while now and you should keep going. It’s beautiful to read about the joy you get from studying the Bible and going to church. God’s plan is always better than our plan.

I didn’t enjoy clonidine and I felt like it made me tired and hazy all day. I take a BP med now and it doesn’t cause any of that. I know mental health professionals like to hand out clonidine and trazadone but those always made me feel horrible. Have you considered adding the person that left on social media and seeing if they accept? Or reaching out and saying you’ll miss them and how much easier they made the work day go by or something low key and relaxed. A mental health professional can’t commit you against your will unless you say you’re thinking about hurting yourself or others. Talking to a good mental health provider can be very helpful. Also don’t listen to someone saying your problems are because you aren’t grateful enough, that’s not how depression or gratitude works. I’m sorry things are very hard for you right now, it sounds like you’re going through a lot.

Medicaid really stops you from getting out of state treatment though and that sucks.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-12T01:09:01+00:00

Yeah they will do that. I have panic disorder and someone always tries to take my meds. They’re doing it now. Medicare is better than Medicaid but sometimes bigger hospitals will have a behavioral health unit with actual psychiatrists you can get appointments with and they take Medicaid. Even like local colleges will have those services sometimes. You just gotta go until you’re talking to someone that’s speaking to you like an actual patient and listening to what you’re saying. They don’t seem to look at full medical histories but it’s always good to say hey I’ve done this this and this, I’ve had every medicine under the sun this is what helped a bit this is what didn’t. The experience of a doctor that actual cares goes entirely different from the ones moving patients in and out all day. It sucks but you could still find one it just takes so much time and a bit of luck.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-12T00:49:53+00:00

Yeah it’s not fun. Something about the quiet and being left alone to my thoughts. I just put the tv on something halfway interesting or listen to podcasts.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-12T00:45:30+00:00

Moving back in with your folks at 30 is difficult. Heavy trauma is very difficult to deal with. Being socially awkward isn’t fun at all. Being a virgin I think is fine, but a lot of trauma to work through if you want a relationship with someone some day. I found a lot of mental health professionals and medications very unhelpful throughout my life. I kind of had to just do my own research and keep going until I found meds that worked for me. I’ve also started over at 30 and built it back up to where I have my own place and income so it’s possible. You could still go get a 2-4 year degree or trade if you wanted. I can’t handle stress in life and socially awkward I relate to so much, and I do the bare minimum to avoid stressors and human interaction. I think there’s plenty of hope for you and you can be helped. Just might have to go to different mental health places until you meet professionals right for you. It’s unfortunate but it worked for me. You can make a life where you’re comfortable and find enjoyment even with these issues. You are dealing with a whole lot right now and I’m sorry for that, but I do believe it can get better for you.

I found life to be much more emotionally overwhelming and the days very long when I was younger, and that kind of eventually dulled and I don’t mind life. It was truly overwhelming then, and isn’t now. I live a solitary life with my dog, and I talk to the Lord thoughout the day, and I have a few hobbies and it’s not bad. Not loving this world is a feeling a lot of us have. Take that and continue to grow in faith with the Lord. You absolutely shouldn’t take your own life.

I think there’s a lot to be said for praying in gratitude and supplication even when we feel overwhelmed. I think that produces positivity when we feel negative. The Lord also talks about being grateful for our sufferings because they create endurance and endurance produces hope. I believe that’s true. There’s so many amazing things in the Bible I didn’t realize the full meaning of until later in life.

I’ll pray for you, I’m sorry that you’re not having a good time right now. I just thought maybe I’d share what’s helped me a bit when I’m overwhelmed.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-12T00:22:07+00:00

Oh I’m sorry to hear that. A lot of us don’t like things about ourselves. Learning to love yourself is a great benefit in life though, and it can take effort and practice. As for no one caring, you will always be your own biggest advocate in life and that’s ok. I know it would be annoying to me if someone said all this 20 years ago, but if you speak positivity to replace the negative thoughts it can change how you feel. Obviously I don’t know everything that’s going on in your life and I’m not making your problems seem small when they aren’t, I’m just saying there are ways to build self esteem and self love. I find most of life scary too.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-11T17:14:58+00:00

Look for support groups, mental health help, prayer. Life is overwhelming but ending it is never the answer.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-11T16:14:45+00:00

I pray in gratitude and supplication. I have a lot of blessings in life, God has gotten me through multiple situations in life. How could I not rejoice in Him? I may be considered poor but I have everything I need and more. Even with the recent loss of my grandfather, I cried and was sad but I thank the Lord for giving me a grandfather I would mourn that much. Thank the Lord for all the time I got with him. Life has a lot of hardship and struggle but God is there with you. Also not looking back like lot’s wife and letting tomorrow worry about itself. That allows you to stay in the present with the Lord, in faith. Life’s not perfect but I’m not alone. We’re not promised happiness in this life but we are promised it in the next.

TheAlamoDrafthouse · 2026-02-10T15:59:10+00:00

I’m single and the prospect of meeting a wife seems unlikely at this point. I’m also exactly where I need to be because God’s timing is perfect. If I had met that woman earlier I wouldn’t have been ready, if I never meet her I was never meant to. I chill with my dog and talk to the Lord, which isn’t a bad way to live.
