I wanted to make this post as an apology for the things I've said before and for any Ill will I may have directed towards my Father on this site. For those feelings depressed or crushed I wanted to give this scripture, Psalm 34:18, which says: "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit". And for those who suffer from anxiety like me this one:

Matthew 6:25-34

25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
For those struggling with direction in life or purpose here is a scripture:
For those struggling with direction in life or purpose, Ecclesiastes 12:13 says "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

I'd like to close by saying I'm no longer going to entertain suicide but through prayer I am living my life in Christ and to be mindful of what I say and I recommend that for others too as Matthew 12:36 states : "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment"

There are many people that find the path of faith a road to recovery. For some others with bad church experiences even the mention of God can cause a hostile reaction.

We are all born helpless, ignorant, and selfish. Having good parents is critical to improving on our initial state. However, even the best parents can leave us deficient. We make mistakes and hurt ourselves and others. That you have a concern for others is a healthy sign of your own recovery.

For your own faith walk, there are many harmful elements to both traditional and modern Christian practice that people have added intentionally or with malice. Learning to navigate around these obstacles can be tricky. There are some websites that try to help people navigate a path of faith like https://christianpioneer.com/

Consider David who was both a murderer and adulterer and did not even know it until Nathan confronted him. His sorrow and shame led him to write;

Psa 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

The take away is that we all screw up, sometimes quite badly. However, there is often a path of recovery. For AA it is in making amends. It sounds like you have a sincere heart and are on your way.
