i suffer from depression, anxiety, have low self esteme no confidence in myself. but strangely enough i do think positive! i know it sounds crazy but im a grateful person. lots of gratitude for what i have in my life re home, kids and money and having a healthy able body and kids.

i believe in angels, life after death etc... im quite spiritual in my thoughts. ive read 'the secret' on positive think and all that.

how ever, every time i walk out my front door lately (over the last month) i feel like ive been thrown into the path of god! i know it sounds loony. but i bump into people (4 so far) who seem to want to convert me, want me to read the bible, go to church, pray..... but its not me. im not saying i dont believe in it all, not that i understand what its all about either Confused

i feel im spirtual enough with out having to pray, goin to church or reading the bible. i just dont want to.

i went over the park yesterday and a lady asked why i have the word 'believe' tattooed on me. its just a positive reminder to myself. then i got an earhole full of religious belief, stuff about god calling me. she wants to met up with me and bring her bible. i told her i had another woman also do the same thing the other week! to be honest ive avoided the park for a while as i only want to spend some peaceful time with my daugther and not have it drummed into me.

i have nothing against christians or people who go to church (i went to sunday school as a child) and im grateful for their only trying to express their beliefs, but i feel they're wasting their time on me. but i dont have the heart to say, leave me alone? or am i knocking back opportunities or paths that im meant to be taking. really confused right now!

Guess its the tattoo thats attracting them. (like moths ^^) Think you've answered your own question as to whether to respond. I found being pregnant horrifically attracting to preachy types. And I was too waddly to run away....

lol too waddly Grin

it was only the last lady who commented about my tattoo, the others just got talking to me in the park and the 1st was in the doctors surgery! Hmm

i couldnt tell any one to sod off (politely of course) im not rude enough to blank them so im stuck with having to hear them out lol

My Auntie used to answer the door to Jehovahs witnesses with the phrase 'No thanks we worship the Dark Lord in this house'. Lol. Guess they think they are doing good for the most part....

If you're content with your spiritual life as it is, just tell them you are happy with your beliefs and will they please respect that. And Smile serenely.

(I quite enjoy an occasional dingdong with doorsteppers myself. evil Grin)

believe me grimma ive tried to tell them i feel im comfortable with my spiritual beliefs, as soon as they realise im kinda into it they start talking about bliming bibles and that im being drawn to them cos god is guiding me! Hmm

then start qouting.....

even when i say 'nah im more in to angels' im told 'ooo but they could be bad angels trying to make you bad, on satans side! you need to find god to protect you!' then i tell them thats what archangel michael is for - but im not getting anywhere lol

niggle i always seem to answer the door to witnesses, im not one to shut doors in faces - so again just stand there listening. feel like i cant tell them to shove off, especially as my good friend is a witness.

might have to find a dark hole to hide in Grin or have a tattoo cover-up
