Am I being selfish and unreasonable? Am I having a pity party??
Any thoughts on this?? Am I beating the proverbial 'dead horse' with this thread?? I hope not...I am really struggling right now with some things...

Yes, you are being selfish and unreasonable to think you have the right to demand that the Church help "fix" you. HOWEVER, the scripture does command each of us to bear one another's burdens. Now, what exactly that means I'm not sure.
