I am a twenty-one-year-old girl.... I believe that I am going crazy. I can’t sleep, and I do things I don’t want to do. It is a challenge to keep going each day. On a number of occasions, I have tried to commit suicide, and I often think about taking my own life. I need [...]
I am a happily-married thirty-one-year-old woman. I have a teenage daughter who is fourteen years old and a five-month-old son. We wanted him very much! When we found out that we were going to have a boy, we jumped for joy. But the day he was born, we were in for a big surprise: he [...]
I slit my wrists and took pills. I did it in front of my husband, and was hospitalized.... After getting out, I became severely depressed, blaming myself and believing that God was going to punish me by striking me dead for real and sending me to hell. Since then, not a day goes by that [...]
My problem is that I’m thirty-nine years old, I’m single, and I don’t even have a girlfriend.... As a child I contracted polio, and my right hand and leg are affected. That’s why women don’t want me.... I can’t even get a job because I am handicapped. I am educated and have degrees, but even [...]
All in my family have suffered from cancer. When they are terminal, I have always asked God to forgive their sins and to remember them [eternally], and it has worked. My family members have died in peace the day after I have lifted my plea to God. I’m not sure if it’s wrong for me [...]

I am twenty-nine, and have known my boyfriend since I was twenty-four.... We have plans to get married, because we get along very well.

In my third year of university studies, I had sexual relations with another man, and I have continued to do the same with other men since then. I don’t want to do it, and I ask God to help me; but help does not come. In 2009, my AIDS test came back positive. No one [...]
I had a sexual relationship with a guy and I ended up pregnant. My pregnancy was difficult as I suffered from high blood pressure. I begged God to have mercy on my baby, but he lived only twelve hours and had breathing problems and high blood pressure. I had placed all my faith in God, [...]
Four years ago I met a young woman and we were married shortly after that. The misunderstandings began, and she sporadically threatened to kill herself.
