I don't have the best mental makeup, I'm learning more and more daily that I'm more wounded and that things aren't all shineshines and roses.

I just now prayed to something to give me answer that would put my conscious at rest. I just want help from something or someone because I don't know if I can shoulder the load to not only fix myself and take on my life independently. I've been pushing off helping myself and distracting myself with internet and childsplay but no matter what I do I can't get this sense of fear deep down in me to go away. I know no one can take responsibility for my life, and I don't expect them to. I just need to know I have a shot left because I'm really whining down to a tread here. I honestly don't see how I can live another year like this. If you're reading this I don't want any pity, I've learned that I some how subconsciously seek this out and I'm done with it.

I hope I'm coming from the heart here or this isn't another one of my false selves reaching for something to manipulate others with.

Classic, from your profile, and from what you write, it seems you are very young yet. It's not easy to be just on the first threshold of adulthood. Do you have someone you can talk with? A counselor of some sort? When I was your age I had some similar struggles and it helped a lot to see a counselor. I saw a counselor affiliated with a Christian organization, but it was very helpful and your parents might be more supportive if you see someone they are comfortable with.

I was also raised in a Christian home, quite a strict one. I no longer think of myself as a Christian, but the Bible and the church community still had many benefits and contain many truths. Learn what truth it contains for you, and when the time comes you will move on to other things. Don't expect to find all the secrets of the universe right away, nobody does. One day at a time, my friend. Can you be kind or helpful to someone today? Can you learn something today? Some days, that's the most we can manage.

And we all spend some time on childish pursuits. Our minds need rest and play.

I know you are looking for Sparrow's advice and not mine, and maybe his will be different. But I've been young and now I'm old and I think you are worrying too much. :) be patient with yourself.

Spirit guide sparrow seems to think no sex in the afterlife because we are not physical/biological in that link.
hmm, well we have eyes that enable us to see that are physical/biological, yet sight exists in the afterlife.
If we can be in physical solid form, why can I not think someone has a nice pert whatsit even if I can't get in there.

I have shallow concerns, I'm really not that evolved, probably don't belong here shouldn't post much lest that start coming accross

Would you decide to savagely torture someone to death? why not, could it be that you think it's wrong because there is something higher, if there's something higher, maybe as in something bigger.
