I suffer from depression and anxiety. I still live with my mom and I don't drive because of my anxiety. Whenever I tell a girl this, they suddenly lose interest and just wants to be friends or stops talking all together. Would you date me, knowing I had these problems? How soon should I bring this up?

You are right. It is a spirit that manifests itself in the natural.

It is an emotio and a physical issue. I minored in Psychology and I know that our emotions and our body are intricatedly woven together.

Just as the man who had "Legion" causing him to act crazy and burn himself, etc..., ppl be needin some spiritual deliverance.

I had/have to yield my emotions to God when they are scattered or have me moody and such.

Hi. I would be happy to answer this because I am in a similar situation. I suffer from Panic disorder, which means I get panic attacks. Sometimes the attacks are more severe than at other times. I am not going to go into my whole story, but you should talk to your doctor about medication and you should talk to someone. I am on meds and I went though counseling, which helped me a great deal. I always tell guys first thing because if I get a severe attack they need to know what to do and how they can help me. If someone cannot accept you for who you are then they are not worth your time. In my experience, if they stop talking to you because of a disability then chances are they weren't all that interested to begin with. If someone is really, truly interested nothing will stop them from talking to you. That person will stick by you no matter what. God created us all in his own image and likeness and there is someone out there for us. :rolleyes:

If you are debilitated by these things - then only a woman willing to take care of you will be interested. I did not start in that role but when my husband returned from Nam I inherited that role, and did not retreat.

Would I choose it up front? Because the Lord walked through that with me the first time - it is possible I would - maybe He prepared me for that.

But I think it would be difficult for a woman without that in her life and without the Lord preparing her to be the caretaker to choose that role in a relationship from the beginning.

I am sorry he left. I wish there were more responses. I have learned we all fall short...so much so that there are imperfections that will only be completely gone when we are in Heaven. I think that's the way it is supposed to be. Christ heals/repairs/cures/removes certain things here on earth. Some things are treatable or managable, just not curable. As we age, we prepare for our body's return to the earth. Sometimes we just start to break down physically and mentally. Sometimes He allows disabilities to become a part of someone's existence earlier in life. If it is His Will, I believe He creates an extension of this person to compliment them. If a gal cannot accept you as you are, then there may be someone waiting who can. And just remember, what you may consider a "disability," I might consider a greater reason to love you!
