The fact that I have anxiety.😢😞😑
Some might not really see how deep my lighter hearted reply really is but- I have always loved Eminem music- as a MSW, I appreciate the somewhat hidden social justice commentary provided in a way that his target audience is ensured to receive the message without realizing the significance- social change through creative means is the most effective way to build the ground swell needed to set the stage for the on going social justice and equality challenges that we face. While every generation has a musical voice associated with the advancement of the efforts to continually make strides in equality, social progress, health and wellness and the rights of all to be treated equally and equitably. We constantly need to work tirelessly to ensure that we are able to make our democracy a more perfect union in time - who would have thought Marshall Mathers would become the voice helping to further our democracy? I love the music and the message
This is my first time expressing my honesty... Ok, I am no longer a christan. I dont believe.
The scary thing is... I'm from a strict religious family, therefore I'm usually cut off from the outside world, physically, with the only chance to leave the house is during school hours (to still a christan school) and the internet. I dont know any non-believers because I'm always surrounded by other christan friends from my school and church. I'm afraid that if they find out, I'll lose everyone I know because they're the only people i have and know in my life. I dont want them to see me different. Just because im exchristian doesnt mean Im evil. It doesnt mean Im not the same person i was yesterday. I still believe in universal love and kindness. Rejectting religion doesnt mean Im rejectting morals. But they will never understand this. And it kills me because I feel so trapped right now! I dont want to tell them. I'm scared mostly of what my parents will think or do... but i want to because its all building up inside of me. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!
@Sarai17 what a funny thing, I happen to be Christian. I'm going to be honest with you. One of the things that Christianity is built on is love. I don't think there's any way to truly stop believing, or maybe you have, I don't know. Or you could just be going through an extremely dry season with God. Personally, I'm going through a dry-season. I love God but I have a hard time devoting MY time to reading the Bible or talking or praying with him. If your family and friends dislike you or push you away because you don't think you believe in God anymore, I'm sorry but I really question the type of Christian family that you're in. Is it okay if they try and get you to believe in God? Yes, of course. But it's only acceptable if they tell you about God and give you the space to become a Christian on your own. It's kind of the same with the LGBTQ+ community. My friend is bisexual but that doesn't mean that I love her any less. I don't support her idea of being bisexual but I still support her as a human being and as a friend. And honestly, you're on 7Cups for goodness sake. If you ever need anyone to talk to about what you do or don't believe you can talk to me (no pressure) or anyone. What type of love do your friends and family love you with if they push you away for your lack of belief in God. Is it a little harder in your situation under the given circumstances, of course. But (sorry if I sound spiritual since you don't believe in God), but God doesn't make things easy. But God doesn't necessarily make it hard. It's Satan that makes it hard so that you might turn to distractions. God allows these obstacles because he wants us to learn that we can trust him. Whether or not you take my advice, it's up to you. Your family might not be able to support the idea of you becoming a non-believer but they should still support everything else that makes you you. <3
I'm tired. I have learned the hard way that you either work hard to swim or work hard to stay afloat. Both choices take energy. It is better to swim. I will do my best to swim. But I am tired.
I put on a front around others that Im okay but behind closed doors Im desperately trying to find true happiness in myself
Most people don't know a lot of things about me. I feel like people wouldn't understand what I go through and I know people go through anxiety and depression like I am right now. I have isolated myself from my friends and I felt left out, but i was leaving them out. I hide the fact that they're is a voice in my head telling me to just give up and I'll be alone forever. But I'm not alone. I'm scared of being judged by people for me being bisexual and being seen as the shy weird girl who doesn't talk to anyone really. I've been a follower all my life and I let people walk all over me, and I couldnt help it cause I'm nice to people. Most people don't know about my troubles and my fucked up life where my dad mentally abused me, my sisters, and my mom. (My parents are divorced btw). But most people don't know that I am bisexual and have those troubles and I hide it and pretend to be happy when I'm not. It's just hard for me to open up to people. The world is full of judgy people, we can't stop that. I'm trying to be true to myself and I want to feel better. Thanks for listening.
@Brownielocks17 I feel exactly the same way. I have totally isolated myself from the rest of society. I can be classified as a recluse playing video games all day long. I am usually contented because i have video games to entertain me, but its temporary. Its my escape from reality ecause i feel weird and misunderstood.
They don't know about all of the masks I put on and how hard I try to seem normal
I'm trying my hardest to make sure that my best friend, who has gone through a lot in life and tends to see things negatively, is alright. He used to be really full of joyful abandon, but he has lost a lot of his light. I love him a lot, but my time is running out. I want to see him trully happy again.
My smile hides mountains of pain and fear of rejection.
I just want to be free to be me, but what my family doesn't know is I don't know who I am.
That my smile isn't real. That I go cry every time I say I need to use the restroom. That I don't feel appreciated, confident, valued as a person, and or loved.
