Slipping Away

I realize that I am beginning to slip away.  Now or never is the time for that to happen.  I started off the semester with fasting and taking a much needed break from social media to focus more on fostering my relationship with God.  I backslided a little bit during that week, but I finished the fast and felt restored after it was over.  Now it has been nearly a month since then, and a few other doors in my life have been opened, I feel like I have been slipping away from God's reach and giving into temptation of myself.  It's getting a little out of hand for me and I honestly seek deliverance from the Lord.

Symptoms

Symptoms
  1. Having trouble sleeping sleeping at night
  2. Staying up really late (usually don't fall asleep until between 2:30-3am)
  3. My body is very tense, especially in my shoulders/upper back
  4. Occasional mood swings
  5. Not eating at regular intervals
  6. Exhibiting reclusive behaviors; highly introverted
  7. Very picky about my choice of company
 There are things I want to do [and experience] with others, but I often feel void at times or alone or without people who I'd consider close to me in this new environment.  At times, I am overly anxious to the point that I just don't end up doing what I originally set out to do or what I said I would do.  My actions are somewhat that of someone with a settling mentality.  I honestly don't know why all of a sudden this persona decides to come to life.  I recognize that quiet time is very important, but having too much of it may be a slight problem for me.  The phases come and go where I'd like to be around people or not (please refer to symptom #7).
