Don't we all

I'm not a martyr for altruism, but when one suffers, we all suffer....but you always put on your mask first in a falling airplane.

Gee...reminds me of somewhere E and I use to work...giving so much of yourself that it decreases your own mental and physical health

:heart:

Great quote!

Truth!

Nope

E - you found a good church.

Klutzana, I totally agree!

Compassion is the human spirit. But that's never talked about in church unless you're talking about Jesus's compassion...of which, apparently, we're not worthy?

Girl, you are beautiful. Deep in your soul beautiful. :heart:

Original sin is the reason I renounced religion.

Once I wrapped my head around the concept of unearned guilt it was like a lightbulb went off in my head! I physically felt the weight lift off of me!

That is something I struggle with a lot

One of the greatest lessons I learned was not to take on unearned guilt

For ptsd you can also witness something serious or have knowledge of major harm or death to a loved one... something like that

Non combat PTSD is a thing

You have yourself free will without the guilt given to you by the church.

I think it's harder to admit you have something and acknowledge your feelings when you know someone else has had it "worse"
