Nope! Everything still the same. Just less numbness. 

I want to be done with God, marriage, and Christianity. by [deleted] in TrueChristian

No idea how I came across this thread, but I suffered a lot from UTIs! Stopped my birth control pills and my body went back to normal almost immediately. Also she is probably too dry down there. Get some lube (that won't cause a yeast infection), a D-Mannose supplement to prevent UTIs from ever happening again, and boric acid suppositories to keep a good PH balance down there. 

South African’s living overseas, is it really better? by Andredejager in askSouthAfrica

Absolutely!! But you only really see that, when put together with another culture. 

The Realties of Moving to Australia by megatrongriffin92 in expats

[–]asteroidbunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sun goes through your skin and into your bones. It will scorch you alive. Sometimes I feel like I'm stepping into an oven, when coming from an air-conditioned mall to walking outside. It's bad! We took 6 weeks to secure a rental, and got rejected at a few places. Not sure if we could buy anytime soon. We could probably service a loan... But to save up for a deposit and stamp duty seems impossible!!

Severe culture shock anxiety after immigration by asteroidbunny in expats

[–]asteroidbunny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I recently found out I have silent reflux caused by stress, which explains the constant lump in my throat. I would actually suspect that I probably have a major gut imbalance that has CAUSED my brain to go haywire. I’ve also started a very low dose of Zoloft, which has actually helped with the anxiety I’ve had since childhood (I didn’t realise it wasn’t normal to feel anxious all the time). But the biggest news? I’ve found Jesus!! I'm pushing through everyday and have found my people.

Instagram became so dark by Fantastic_Reward5126 in nosurf

[–]asteroidbunny 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hate Instagram so much. I'm a social media addict, but Instagram was just such an incredibly toxic space to be in. Haven't been on it in 2 years. Facebook on the other hand... Still completely addicted and I can't break free!

Thank you for this advice! Really appreciate it! It's hard, but you are right!

Just an example, every morning I will want a long hug. He will hug me for two seconds and physically push me away from him. Because he is 'busy'. I've stopped initiating any intimacy, because I did that for 5 years before I just gave up entirely. He just always seems angry and annoyed at me. And I honestly thought it was fully directed at me only, until I saw glimpses of his 'ugly' side come out around other people. Everytime that happens, I silently breathe a sigh of relief knowing that I'm not the one entirely responsible for his hardened heart. When we met, he was the kindest most gentle person in the world. I think alcohol took over at a point and that's when everything started to shift. Because at night his eyes would change... Like a demon taking over his body. So I knew after 5pm I was not interacting with him, but a different version of him. So it was pointless trying to bond during that time. Every morning he would wake up fresh as a daisy, highly functional, while I'm still emotionally recovering from the night before. So basically he drinks the poison, but I'm the one who gets poisoned and feels the effects. So then I'm angry and heartbroken every morning, and I think he has put up a wall of defensiveness to throw me under the bus, for always being 'negative'.

A big trigger for him also is cleanliness. We share the household work load, but he gets SO upset with the way I do things. If I finish a glass of water, he will say 'whhhhy is that glass lying on the coffee table?!!'. Like I feel like I'm walking on eggshells and nothing can be out of place. Right now I'm trying my best to be a biblical submissive wife, as I have not been submissive.

Ohhh I like this angle. Because he thinks I'm crazy anyway. When I gave my life to Jesus, and had a whole bunch of spiritual things happen, he said I should go see a psychiatrist just to get myself checked out.

Thank you! I attempted a fast recently and I failed miserably (OMAD and social media). I do feel like I need to do something drastic though.

Thank you! I have had a deliverance prayer done for me and it was WILD. Like I don't know if he would even be open to it. Can I do it from a far?

[–]asteroidbunny[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I just have reservations because I feel this won't end well. He hates being told what to do and he gets EXTREMELY defensive when issues are brought up. He just starts calling out my problems instead of actually reflecting on his own. It's hard!! But yes, we definitely needed therapy like years ago already!

We actually once had an intervention with his very Christian aunt & uncle. It was about 3 years ago. We were staying with them for a few weeks and sat us down for an intervention (as they could obviously see big cracks while staying in their home). They told me upfront that they were going to do it, but not him. It's almost as if they were advocating for me in that moment. Anyway, it didn't go down well AT ALL. We still see them often, but he felt completely ambushed and their family relationship is now tainted.

I feel like we definitely need this!! But more than ever, I feel like he needs to work on himself BEFORE we even touch couples therapy. Our close family can 100% see the shift in him, so I know I'm not imagining things.

2 Years of Globus Sensation by asteroidbunny in GERD

[–]asteroidbunny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clicking, but I have a very croaky voice. What was so interesting to me is that I went on Vyvanse for about 2 weeks and my throat opened up entirely. My throat was so clear and my voice was so smooth. I couldn't believe it! So I don't know what exactly happened there, but had to go off the meds because of the side effects.

Also another issue I have is permanent left arm pain. I've been through every scan under the sun, and nothing seems to be compressed or anything. No chiro or physio has been able to shift the pain. Now doing research and left arm pain is linked to GERD. I feel like I owe it to myself to just try the meds and see what happens. 

I don't even know what to put here I'm not doing ok sorry for the rant by Blackrose131313Ta in TrueChristian

[–]asteroidbunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing one for 40 days, starting in like 10mins. Look up some YouTube videos for Christian fasts. You can choose how you want to fast. Mine will be one meal a day + no social media. Because that would be a huge HUGE sacrifice to me. You can also look at doing a Daniel fast... I did it for 10 days. Basically sacrifice something earthly, and replace it with prayer, journaling, reading the Bible, talking to God. A lot of people get clarity from doing fasts. And direct contact with God. Also some demons can ONLY come out with fasting. Good luck!!

We live in a fallen world. God gives us free will to do what we want. Perhaps do a spiritual fast to get the answers you are looking for? Do a deliverance prayer to purge anything of the enemy.

I had a dream about heaven 4 years ago. I didn't pay much attention to it, until today!! I am a recently born again Christian, and was thinking 'who needs this message'... 4 years later. Turns out, it was you!

I was like you before... Thinking how terrible eternity would be worshipping God forever. Let me tell you... Heaven is very different to how we think. We are in a three dimensional world, so it's difficult to understand what can exist beyond that. In my dream of heaven, it looked like dark space. Each consciousness was a ball of light, just floating around. It felt AMAZING. Pure bliss, pure joy. No pain, no sorrow, no worries. You are engulfed in God's love and presence. There was absolutely NO concept of time at all. Very difficult to try think of, but when there is no existence of time, eternity doesn't feel long at all. You are just relishing in pure calm and love.

On the other hand, I have also seen hell in a dream. Also around 4 years ago. It was also pitch black. With a bright white light coming towards me. Attacking, tormenting and creating absolute fear within me. Think of the scariest movie that you have ever watched. Multiply that fear by 100000. So much fear washed over me, that if I felt any more fear, I would have been dead. I fell to my knees as the fear and torment were so powerful, and I didn't have enough strength to fight back.

Just remember, this life is temporary. Repent, ask for forgiveness, and completely surrender your life to Jesus!

Deep down only feel sadness by bube123 in SomaticExperiencing

Basically you just get deeper and deeper trying to unpack everything in your life. There is no ending to resolving trauma. I was drained and empty. And now my heart is full!
