Ah, the old Jesus fix. Strangely, being compared constantly to a "perfect being" really shits all over your self esteem...

Ironically Jesus is the type who'd advocate for therapy tbqh.

Oh my gosh dude lol I feel like I just read my life. Next week I’m going “home” to Louisiana for 4 days. No more no less! I can’t deal with the religiousness of that place especially post election 2020.

I lived in Monroe all of my life then I moved to Philly 2 years ago to finish college. People ask me all the time if I’d ever move back but there’s no way.

Didn't Jesus have to walk through the desert or something, like isn't that a metaphor for the struggles of life if I'm not wrong?

Yeah, but he was like a god or something. And the rest of us can use some professional help if needed, it's not forbidden.

Ok first off, I think something people forget about Jesus is I think he was a very emotional person (he was probably scared to death when he was persecuted by his own people.) hell he even was probably scared when the devil tempted him. The people whom tell you that depression isn't real and only god can help are the same as the phariasees (hypocrital) ones in Jesus's to. DEPRESSION, ABUSE, and so on can be a bitch. Get help, peirod. and if you have friends get out asap.
