Why did He allow me to fall into this?

Hey, I can totally understand where you're coming from. It sucks to feel like you're putting in all this effort and not getting any results, especially when it feels like God isn't stepping in. It's tough, ya know? Maybe the problem ain't just about faith or a lack of divine plan. You tried different things to get closer to God and that takes guts. Perhaps mixing up your approach could help, maybe even checking out some secular self-help resources along with what you’re doing now. Change is hard for anyone, man, so don't beat yourself up too much if progress is slow...

omg yesss same thing happened to me wit procrastination, its so hard :(

Hey, I feel you. It's like you're doing your best to connect with something bigger than yourself, and yet it feels like you're stuck in the same place; kind of frustrating, huh? 🙁 I've been there too, feeling like I'm shouting into the void and getting nothing back. Sometimes it helps to take a break from all the expectations we put on ourselves about how things should be. Maybe try focusing a bit more on small victories rather than just the big picture stuff (not easy, but worth a shot). And hey, just because things haven't clicked yet doesn't mean they won't eventually... Life's pretty unpredictable at times!

It's interesting how religion can play a role in personal struggles. I'm thinking maybe it's more about our perception than any external factor. Some people lean heavily on their faith and find solace, while others don't get the same kind of guidance or support. I don't know if it's about God ignoring us or if we're just not attuned to something bigger out there.

i feel you on this totally cause i tried doing the whole 'giving it up' thing with social media when it was getting too much. did okay for a month then slipped again. it's like we think there's gonna be some significant shift but life just kinda goes on how it does ya know?

man, that's tough. i hear you loud and clear; struggling with something like that isn't easy and it feels like you're just swimming against the tide. you know, sometimes we expect things to just change overnight especially when we're putting ourselves out there praying or whatever but it doesn't always work like that. maybe take a bit of pressure off yourself? it's not all on your shoulders to fix everything right away. life's messy and figuring stuff out is hard... sometimes it's just about taking small steps even if they feel insignificant at the time; keep going at your own pace, don't lose hope, you've got this!

dude, why are you expecting a magical intervention or some divine plan to deal with your stuff?? like seriously, we’re just humans... i mean, god isn’t gonna do everything for you. it's harsh but maybe that path you took of relying solely on faith wasn’t enough. when my life was off the rails, it wasn't god's hand that fixed it all—it was me facing reality and making tough choices. yeah, it sucks feeling lost in limbo but stop waiting around and take real action! nobody owes you answers or guidance; own your mess and start working on it instead of wishing for miracles.

i kinda agree, but god works differently for everyone.

hey, it's tough when you're in a loop like that. sometimes it feels like doing everything right still gets you nowhere. i mean, expecting divine intervention is hard to navigate because we kind of think He should just step in and fix things for us. but maybe it's more about gaining strength from the challenge? might sound weird, but dealing with my own stuff, i've found perspective shifts help (like seeing setbacks as moments to learn). adding some activities that occupy my mind helped distract me from spiraling thoughts. who knows? small snags can unexpectedly lead to big breakthroughs sometimes! keep hanging in there.

wow, i totally get what you're saying and it sounds super tough 🤔 like, trying to improve yourself and having those setbacks feels like a never-ending cycle, right? but hey, it takes a lot of courage to even recognize that something ain't working and wanting to change it. ever thought about how you could maybe shift your focus from just quitting the habit to adding something else positive in your life? sometimes when i’m stuck, trying out new hobbies has helped me feel a bit more connected with things around me. also, do you think finding some support from people going through similar stuff might give you some different insights or just make you feel less alone? 😊

well a while back i struggled too with my video game addiction, took lots of time away from stuff that mattered. at first i thought praying would fix it all but turns out willpower played a huge part too. balance and perseverance are key, even though it's super tough sometimes...

man, it's like fighting a ghost, isn't it? when you think you've finally got it figured out, it just slips through your fingers again. had this old mate who went through something similar; tried everything from mindfulness to full-on yoga retreats. even said a few hail marys now and then. anyway, what stuck with him was setting up tiny daily habits instead of attempting massive changes all at once. but he always wondered why he fell into those traps in the first place... do you ever wonder if you're focusing too much on what god should be doing for you rather than finding peace with where you're at? you know how they say faith without works is dead. maybe kinda mix some action in with your prayers and hymns and see where that takes you;

You are definitely not alone in feeling this way. Many have experienced similar challenges with various habits, myself included; personally struggling with comfort eating. It's weird because we genuinely want to let go, but sometimes faith needs to be paired with self-growth strategies.

dude, it's like you're living the same scene on repeat, hoping for a plot twist that just never comes. i mean, there have been times in my life when I thought maybe something bigger was pulling the strings, only to feel like I'm stuck in life's waiting room with no appointment in sight. 🤷‍♂️ it’s frustrating when it feels like faith isn't delivering what you hoped for... but maybe it's not all on God? ever thought about how our expectations could be part of what's weighing us down? expecting the universe to give us answers can sometimes feel a bit like shouting at an empty sky... try shifting your focus from what you can't control to those small steps forward... those wins make a difference even if they seem tiny right now.

maybe ur looking at this wrong the tests r there 4 a reason ya kno?

I think the struggle you're having is pretty relatable for many people who grew up religious and then face challenges like this. Finding that initial motivation is tough enough, but maintaining it feels like an uphill battle at times when things don’t seem to improve fast. Sometimes these situations call for broadening perspectives; exploring other ways to seek support could help.

idk dude you should probs try difrent approaches or smthing not just depend oon god completely hes there but also gotta put in work yourself

Back when I hit a real low, I used to think, why me?
