How have you resolved this issue, or have you resolved it, or tried to resolve it in any way? I have no attended to church in many years, but I am going to seek counseling with a Christian MFCC and try church again. It's so hard for me because my anxiety disorder puts me in such a place of non-assertiveness...it's as if when I admit my sinfulness I become even less assertive and more lost in low self-esteem. I need some serious counseling on this. My life is going nowhere as it is...I fear death constantly...I am avoiding life due to my fear of death...I receive solace knowing that Christ can save my soul, but I don't know what my role on Earth is then. I don't know.
I am just very tired and filled with fear and nothing seems to get better in my life no matter what I do.
