    I was converted to LDS church member eleven years ago when I was 25. Now I am 36. It was difficult to get accustomed to the LDS community notwithstanding the difficulties of living in a new country as an Asian. After attending the church for 3 years in UT and ID, I moved to another state and dropped my attendance in church. Then I had to return back to my home country and since have been living with my parents for 7 years. My country is predominantly Buddhist and I find it difficult to live by LDS standards. Although I have been inactive for over 8 years, I have been thinking of officially resigning from the LDS church. I think this way is better off because sometimes I feel guilty that I left the church without notifying. Can anyone tell me if the LDS church standards require an official resignation when someone leaves the church? Or is being inactive enough evidence that I cancelled my covenant? I have heard that some other religions do require such official resignation. I appreciate your help.

    I have recently started back to the church after years and years of being inactive. I am doing EVERYTHING that is asked of me. I read the scriptures almost daily, i pray throughout the day, I worked with my bishop to work through my years of inactivity and the mistakes I made, and I actively serve others. Yet I am struggling with different thoughts and feelings I have not felt since I left the church. Feeling LESS than, feeling hopeless that I can not live this high standard of life, and feeling like I just want to RUN.... RUN fast away. I have prayed, I have fasted... and so forth. Sometimes it brings hours of peace but the overwhelming feeling of "I can't do this" returns. Living the gospel is REALLY hard. I know if I walk away I will never come back. I am looking for ANY suggestions or advice on how to make it through this. I am desperate for any advice, answers, or prayers. I do not want to be a burden on anyone in my ward or my bishop anymore...
