As of today… okay. It’s like one thing keeps coming after another though, for a few weeks now I’ve felt pretty purposeless and essentially have been waiting for death. Randomly I’ll get bursts of motivation to make each moment count, but then I revert back to knowing everything is going to end and that everyone I know will die. So uh… yeah. Thanks for reaching out, it means a lot. How are you?
That’s tough. It’s harder to battle emotions than thoughts, I feel like, since thoughts are solid and can be argued away, while emotions are kind of slippery and cling to you. Keep hanging in there. You were fearfully and wonderfully made in God’s image, and you were made to bring glory and pleasure to Him as well as be a light to others. And death is not the end for us as Christians— “He will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. The LORD has spoken.” Isaiah 25:8.
I know it’s easier said than done to turn off those thoughts/emotions. I’ll keep praying for you 💜
Psalm 46:5 – “God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.”
I’m doing fine. It’s been over a year since my OCD was really, really bad, but I definitely still deal with it every day. Reading about it has really helped me understand it more, so that’s been good so I can learn how to combat it. A lot of the time, if an obsession is sticking to me, I’ll pray about it and then either try to do something about it or ignore it. Hopefully someday I’ll get to the point where it doesn’t bother me anymore, but I have made a lot of progress, so that’s good. Anyway, yeah, hopefully that was encouraging. I’m here for you if you ever want to talk 💛
