I haven't watched anime or manga in years. I used to go to conventions and everything, but then I got busy and poor xD Ah, real life.

Honestly, I've been disconnected with God from awhile, and I'm convinced this is where all my problems are coming from. The time seems to line up. I haven't been to church in weeks, no praying, no Bible reading, nothing. I feel ashamed to say that, but I have to be honest. I've lost sight of who I am, and I've no idea where to even start looking.
I guess Nana is kind of girly since it's about two girls and their love lives, but honestly, it's really not all that girly. Sure, there's a lot of romance and drama, but it's so hardcore and depressing.
Oh, but you're going to have to read the manga, because they haven't even gotten very far in the anime, and it just randomly cuts off. The manga still isn't even finished, but it's much farther along than the anime.
I think my biggest appeal to it is how big music is in it. That, and Nana's ((Not Hachi Nana's)) style. That's basically how I dress. Well, I also just love drama, stories about real life drama, etc. Before Nana my fav manga was Peace Girl, so as you can see, I prefer manga about real life drama.

It happens. I fall into spiritual ruts from time to time too. There are times when it becomes difficult to pray, to read Scripture, to be loving. It's like a downward spiral. What I've found that helps me is to change up my routines, do something different from my norm.
The search for the I AM is a continuous process that goes on for most everyone's life. We have many roles that represents and expression of that I AM but no role fully describes the I AM rather all the roles you know and don't know are collectively the I AM. When we limit the I AM to one role is when we start building a false perception of Self. To find the I AM seek to know God for if we are in God's image then the I AM is a small reflection of who God is. So yeah do what you need to do to reconnect with God and continue to look inward...
Where's Elta when you need her, she's so much better at comforting and being all inspirational than I am.

I actually saw your earlier status on I AM. I felt a tinge of hope because it was basically directed at me despite that I hadn't even verbalized this disconnect yet.
I'm taking this one step at a time and trying to figure things out.

I'm taking this one step at a time and trying to figure things out. Periods of disconnection are normal. Mother Teresa went through a 50 year period of disconnect if I remember correctly. It happens to the best of us. Hopefully it won't be that long anyone here, we have each other here to lean on for support. Just remember you are NOT alone in this. The feeling of loneliness and isolation regarding this is a very convincing illusion. Don't let it fool you.

I'm so sick of this migraine. It's been going on for over a week. The weird part is, now it's just in one small spot, and light/sounds don't make it hurt more. My head feels fine when I wake up, then progressively it starts to hurt. If I massage the spot, it hurts. And I'm kind of dizzy and sick to my stomach, and somewhat confused easily. neutral

I thought your area might have one. Or that you might still fall under your parents'/care takers' insurance. If not that really sucks.

I was looking at this thread, to see if there was something i could add .....
And i saw these serious issues, wondering if i could say anything at all.
... I have always tried to help, give good advice if i could, but at those times, i have really just ... spoken what comes to my mind.
.... Sometimes nothing comes to my mind, though.
Some say these are the times spoken about in Revelation.
Oh, don't worry about giant scorpions with sting that kills a lot.
Car fumes has gotten more cleanced lately, i'd assume the "sting" of theirs has decreased.
Tchernobyl .....i dont remember the star's name in english ....
Anyway, these are hard times .... it seems for everyone ....
Falling out with God?
There are those worse off, and God is with you, as with anyone.
For you, God is closer to you than the bible, closer than any church, closer than any preacher.
That might make the hardships easier to handle, but it won't lessen the hardships .... sadly.
.... I cannot say when the hardships will be over.
There is the theory, that giving a timeline such as that, may cause people to relax, instead of working, take action, as well as one can, to do what is needed to do.
This theory also implies, that relaxing at this kind of point, only might lengthen the time of hardship.
However, this is a theory.
I have no idea if it is truly correct or not.
Falling off with God .... i am technically worse off than "falling out", but God is still with me, independent of that.
I have been angry at God, and worse.
..........
I have no idea if any of this will help at all, or if it will explain anything at all.
.... I just ... spoke what came to me, in an attempt to help.
Admittedly, it was what i percived.
Ask yourself, if it is valid for you.
If you feel it isn't, then it probably isn't.
...............
This is one of the things that i personally call "my preacher mode".
I'm sorry if i was annoying, but i'm happy if it was helpful.
