Also, without contradicting the psychological explanation there is a spiritual layer

But am I totally fucked or is there a chance to be normal

With Christ all things are possible

Well first thing to do is realize you are normal. Seperate yourself from what you believe to be and rise above it.

@Alex R. eat more meat

Personally, I think that fact I'm at all functional is God honoring a prayer I made as a child

@Ironclad well I still practice easter lent

In a week sure

oh that's right 40 days vegan

Phillipians 4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."

Thanks guys

mfw i was fat enough at the start of Lent to do a real 40 day fast

mfw i didn't do it

Lmao mate

Mine is not 40 days

I started thursday to confess sunday

I Had to keep it at least 3 days

Then decided to stick to it till the end

can you take communion on Easter if you didn't keep the 40 days?

i thought not

I must ask my mother or the priest for this

I kept it only to confess

And most people around here keep just the last week

ah maybe next year i can do 40 days on salt water alone

hopefully i won't be fat enough to do that though

hmm maybe i can bloat up beforehand

Lmao

Isn't that a sin tho

idk

"Father, is it a sin to overeat for 2 months before Lent so I can not eat at all during?"

40 days on nothing but daily mass and water

hecc yeah

gas bill gonna be expensive

but it'll be worth it

salt too please though

epiphany salt

if that's sodium chloride or potassium chloride (hopefully both) then sure

it's just blessed on the epiphany

BATH SALTS AND WATER AND HUMAN FACES FOR 40 DAYS

I love my parents, but they're inept narcissists who only by the grace of God hold together our family. They were somehow both helicopter and extremely emotionally neglectful for my entire childhood, basically all I got from them was food, shelter, and material distraction. In spite of that, I think they tried, but they're broken people. At the very least they kept me in the faith and did good things for the church and christian school I attended. Because of that, I had a decent scriptural education, and after hearing the story of Solomon I prayed, at 6 years old, for his wisdom. I sure as hell got his weaknesses, and I'm sure if I'd dedicated my mind I'd have gotten a lot closer, but I see and have learned a lot from my parents, and I hope to raise a son greater than me in both mind and spirit. I believe that is where the wisdom I prayed for will shine.

Pottasium chloride isn't the one sold in pharmacies?
