Church..

[sadgit]

I'm sat waiting for 1 to open, I never know they were ever closed. Not religious but might it help?

Did I already post this? My head is a tiny bit screwed this week. Sat on a bench in the parkway, totally over thinking

From my own experience I’d say no. What I was taught in church as a child had a very destructive and long lasting effect on me which still resides to an extent in my 50s.

That is just my experience though, I’m sure a lot of people find comfort and strength in it.

Cathedral should deffo be open now, biggest day of the year for them.

they always used to be open, though I guess these days they are as susceptible to theft & damage as anywhere so, esp in towns & cities they are often locked..

Went into one the other month in York, on Marygate - it was unlocked though loads of cameras inside..

Hope you got in, sadgit. If it's a Catholic church it's always worth checking on the notices outside as a lot of the parishes are grouped together now and have one priest as an administrator of a few churches, so not all of them have resident parish priests. The Middlesbrough Diocese directory has them all listed with contact details.

I truly hope it gives you peace.

I went and it wasn't for me. It was packed out. I couldn't cope with it. I've been on the phone to Samaritans today. Currently in a hotel room, listening to guys chopping and preparing food

I asked why not 24x7 and they said basically tw@ts were wreaking havoc inside them.

Thank you. I'm safe. Just a bit at a loss how to fix me.

Messaged you on here.

I've just left the house of a priest and was in his church kneeling praying to god. Who knew I would do this and now listening to echo and the bunnymen. Life is bonkers. Lips like sugar

I was at that one. Just been to another church, it was a baptist christening. Yep I conclude it really isn't for me. One self help to tick off.

I do hope you are ok, Mark. I’ve been to our packed little village church this morning and found it very uplifting. I get that it’s not for everyone though.

Pm me if you need anything.

I think of you often Sadgit. I'm not a religious man even though I was brought up as a Catholic. But I do say a prayer for you as I have been in a similar place

I'm in day 5 of hotel life. I'm thinking of going to the game tomorrow if I can get a ticket. Only so much of a ceiling you can stare at. I'm at the baltimor hotel so just a short walk to the riverside. Once tomorrow is over, I might just fk it and pack a backpack and go on a long long walk. My wife has suffered enough. I love her to bits but I cannot keep doing this to her anymore, she told me to go again as my depression and drinking, is crazy. If you are the game tomorrow, say hello. I'll be the one unshaven and stinking of lack of clean clothes. I sat again today with a homeless guy and bought him a pizza. I try to fix the world. Something there isn't right but I couldn't walk by him. Helping other people is not my solution. Nor is the gym!!!

On a serious note, if you are there tomorrow, I'd love to say hello

Have you considered Buddhism?

 

[afcb_acklam]

really sad to read all this @sadgit - don't know what to say really, but please know others are thinking of you

Have you considered Buddhism?

Ha. Fking bizarre. I am in an American Buddhist call right now. I've been to a Buddhist retreat several times, it is for me. It just isn't as accessible as a church. But this online group is great, just full of yanks
