    Christianity is hard

    Hi, happy to have you here. It sounds like you're going through some struggles with your mental health (bipolar) as well as liking other people. Carl Jung famously said the things we dislike in others are aspects of ourselves that we are critical of. Do you find this to be true of yourself?

    Lacking a desire to please Jesus(even though I love him)

    I'm wondering if perhaps the OCD you struggle with is making you feel too weary to foster your relationship Christ. Remember, Christ isn't scared of your obsessions or compulsions. They're scared of how awesome He is. Sincerely, someone at war with OCD.

    Work and Witchcraft

    That is an extremely remote occasion of sin. No matter where you go these days, you are going to encounter inappropriate and evil content. I work for a crisis line, and I talk to and communicate with pagan clients once in a while. I know they are doing things that are hurting their own spiritual...

    Adjusting our speak for the other sex?

    Please don't talk to us differently just because we are women. That could feel unintentionally patronizing and reinforce negative and harmful stereotypes. Maybe instead you could talk to us depending on other factors like our personality, interests, etc.
