Also other night was discussing why I do not have my own place currently, from fear/anxiety and feeling a sense of 'No' self... with a friend, (one who typically says, 'try to better yourself' to people).. and debated telling her the awful things that went on in my childhood, so she got a small view of why I'm sometimes different than others, but I hesitated. Would you share things that are very negative with a friend (ex: emotional or physical abuse etc..)? I feel it would be honest to do so, and open, but on another hand, they'd judge me and they certainly have not shared things of such a personal nature with me... any thoughts welcome less

Worst: lately, it's feeling helpless when watching someone you care about be in pain. Knowing that nothing you can say or do would take away their hurt, and all you can do is just "be there".

I feel as if in some way or shape or form, I don't deserve real love or joy - it came from years of cruel abuse growing up, but even if I could wrap my mind around maybe deserving love some time, could a person be so broken that they would not be dateable? I always come to that conclusion; would the awful anxiety and difficulty trusting guys and even my own self soemtimes, make me not worthy of a relationship or love?

("him/he" corresponds to the devil/Lucifer) She always been surrounded with darkness, darkness had rose her, guided her during her whole life. She feels darkness inside her, eating her, she feels she got a dark fate. More and worse than this...not just surrounding her, but this atraction for it, ya know, she "feel him inside her" in her soul calling, and deep down (not so deep) a part of her want answer..... Want the darkness, want him..... She loves God with all her heart, and she tries to be a good, obedient child. She fears pass the whole eternity far from her father, but inside her, deep, deep inside in a dark corner of her soul, her souls, it's like if wants, calls, wishes for him... It's like if he was inside her, in some part of her soul, it's not like a voice tempting you, no, it's a feeling, a calling, he calls for her and she wants him, but she knows what he is, she loves God, she wants go to Heaven, she wants light, not darkne... less
Whether it was overall, from abuse, from work, in a relationship or growing up... did you overcome it, and if so, how did you not identify with what 'happened ' to you?
