I find the christianity teachings can be very pain cause if you fall in life which i certainly do , you could be very harsh on yourself [Spirituality & Religion]

I love the teachings but it's a way too painful . At times I can tend to turn to buddhism cause I can get less pain from it , like mindfulness and all of that but when I do practice buddhism it brings up a lot of overwhelming emotions , very raw emotions. Then when doing it my soul can get very empty . Also I practice praying the rosary and that's a powerful prayer .
So I'm kind scared and confused on which path to go .
Had anyone similar situations about there beliefs?

What matters most is self-awareness paired with a sense of community. There are support groups, non-religious churches/places for gathering, volunteer opportunities, and many other options out there. There are lots of ways to feel fulfilled and connected. Just keep trying new things and you will find a way.

@lovelywarpedlemon but when you do try to connect I find it can be a very scary place that's if your brought up with a God of fear , like if you go away from one belief to another .
Before something amazing happened me with the belief I had and it was complete peace of mind I had and it went beyond human explanation and my problem is I'm trying to chase that experience again . It's like a drug to me (never took drugs) but a matter of speech .
That experience I experienced is nearly wiped me out by chasing it so I'm very afraid to try something new in case I'm thrown it back in the beliefs face I experienced . It can be very painful now and when I switch to another belief my head is telling me I'm doing wrong . Do you understand me ?

@riseofthemachine Yes... Even though it's hard, we have to learn through experiences. But humans only know so much... When we start to see and feel deeply about life, we find we have more questions than answers, to just about everything. That is definitely scary.

@riseofthemachine There is no need to fear God. There is no fear in perfect love, and God is that perfect love. He is love personified. When the Bible says to fear God it doesn't mean to be afraid of him, but to have a respect and reverence for Him, being whom He is. When we are connected to God, like you have experienced, then yes, you definitely feel that peace. By reading your bible and praying, you connect back with that Holy Spirit inside you, which you can then feel God's spirit and peace once again. Fellowship. One week without [b]spiritual[/b] food, makes one's own Spirit WEAK. That is your only problem. Stay close to Christ. Read your bible daily and talk to Him each day. The answers are in Him alone. Not in religions. Jesus said so, Himself. Do not stray from the Truth. Stay faithful to God. When you have Him, you have all you need.
