The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

I really want to repent. I know that if I repent, or, atleast, I believe that if I repent everything will just be better, the anxiety will go down, the sadness will vanish, I will be good towards other people again and whatever it is I am looking for in this life, it's in God, sometimes I'm sure. Sometimes I'm not. I really do not know.

Sometimes it was just so easy to go and confess. Sometimes it was so easy to just start fasting, to pray, to do anything, but now I just can't. There was a time where I had said, yes, I should confess so that I can return to God and my sins be pardoned, right, but that was not enough. So I said to myself, we have to put our trust in God to even do confession right. And I gained the joy I had lost again.

But now, I just can't. I just… can't. I decide to, yeah, I decide that I will live a Christian life again, but sometimes I just forget about it…

Yeah, sometimes I believe Christ is not the answer, but anytime my conscience is alarmed by encountering Christ in everyday life, like, someone mentioning God, or entering a Church, I know there's something wrong. I get very sad. Or one time, a lady confessed, I just couldn't resist the urge to cry. I try to track down a priest, but everytime I do the decision just eludes me. I've been to a "orthodox therapist" wich told me really to just confess and reconsider my praxis of taking the communion every Liturgy. But the answer just doesn't "stick". I don't know what to do. I'm anxious, I'm sad, I just want things to go back to the way they were. Don't want to go back to my scrupulous self. I don't like that. I just want things to be… okay?

Firstly: Shalom (literally).

Secondly: What do you want people here to do for you?

I just cannot seem to become Christian again. I don't know why? I mean, I can, but when I decide to do so fears of me changing, fears of becoming different assault me, then I feel I am becoming different, fake, in regards to my girlfriend so I feel her becoming more distant from me.

Well, now I am just trying to decide: "Yeah, let's just confess this Saturday."

But I have a bunch of reasons as to why, mainly, derived from psychology. Some of it mine, some of it traditional that i've read on the internet. The question is, is it all just nonsense?

My advice would be to start slowly. Do not jump into the ice lake straight away. If you are accustomed to sin and cowardice, you will need to become reaccustomed to virtue and courage. Begin attending liturgy again; read up some saints—pay attention to the seeds the Lord is planting in your midst.

Stop thinking, instead act. Let your emotions quarrel with themselves; assert your will and move forward like a man.

Be glad that you struggle because it means god is still in you. Jesus lives but this world is ruled by satan.

Trust in Jesus, he will not let you down.

Even when we let him down he will pick us up. Even prophets had doubts and only Jesus was perfect.

Acts 13:38

“Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you
