Question k, this isn't going to be any different from anyone else that needs help. I am obviously realizing I am beyond sensitive when it comes to my emotions. I am, at this moment, horribly frustrated and angry and I don't know how to express what I feel to the point that I can get closure/resolve/healing...whatever is needed. I feel so tortured constantly because I know exactly what my issues are in my head yet I do not know how to deal with them. Everything seems so complicated, and due to a very interesting/extreme 5 months of my past life, I feel like I am shutting down. I'm miserable and I yet I have a drive to be perfect, I feel like I am tearing myself apart. I know it sounds like I am asking you to fix me, but I am obviously desperate if I have to trust someone over the internet that I don't know when I am going to a bible college.
Answer Hello Chad,
If you are still capable of seeking out answers you may not be as close to your breaking point as you might fear. It is those who reject their problems or refuse to look into them that are the most difficult to help.
You mention that you are horribly frustrated and angry but you don't say why. As our God designed temperament is based in our elemental needs in control, affection and inclusion I might be of greater assistance to you if you could tell me of the circumstances that have brought about your dilemma.
Life is indeed complicated. Because everything we experience and do is a part of everything else we experience and do it is sometimes impossible to focus on any one element. We are ever contemplating what the effect of each of our actions will be upon everything and everyone else in our lives. It can become so daunting we fell frozen and unable to take any action at all. But, you have reached out, and that is action!
As you have said, I can't "fix" you, and I don't believe you are broken. But, if you would like to address some individual concerns I would be happy to point you in the right direction.
My first suggestion would be to examine your underlying temperament to be sure you are seeking to meet your needs in the right ways.
You may wish to start with the following temperaments table.
