I know to Jesus obviously, but I feel like I am having a difficult time hearing his voice and feeling his sense of direction
and I know that I want to see some positive progress in my life, but I am not sure what to focus on because there are so many self-improvement processes and ideas to take into consideration
feeling overwhelmed and like a lost little sheep baabaa help me please Jesus 🐑
Have you tried turning towards yourself?
In various ways yes, how specifically would you with your psych degree background (if legit ?) would you recommend that I go about that ?
It's not like there's only one way, if there were then all anyone would ever need to get better is the one same self-help book. If I were to give you the advice I'd apply to myself or even the average layman, I suspect that it would go horribly over how those needs are not reflectant of your own. We've also seen from past trials that brandishing the names of potentially relevant disorders has you rebuke the data entirely, so as you've presented anyway you don't really have an interest in Psychology, but rather however it can be tied into the codex of knowledge you already possess. Being stuck only being able to optimize what you already know within a radius of what you already believe makes it challenging to try to appeal to what appears to be going on from an outsider's perspective.
My personal advice anyway from observing you, as a mental exercise I'd focus on resisting the urge to deflect and scapegoat blame onto others. The handoff contributes in many ways towards your Anger, Greed, Entitlement, Envy, Lust, many of the problem areas, and even though you are meant to lean on Jesus and God I think you would also stand to internalize what's going on a little more so that you won't need to ask quite as much out of the Lord so often.
Those of God are meant to be tenacious and uncomplicated, adorning the Armor of God™ to withstand the trials ahead of them with faith in God that it will be fine in the end, not as a matter of constant poking of the deity to the point of whining every step of the way. The body, mind, and spirit are a reflection of ourselves, a 'Temple to God' I believe they refer to it as, and in that way to become strong through God's channels involves keeping your Temple orderly.
Your thing about Beastiality for example, rather than taking the steps to try to put a stop to it (when that is your goal anyway) you sit there being like "Ehhh whatever man, Jesus will take care of it", a reflection of the Sin 'Sloth'. You even go further and pretty much say it's fine for Majlak and Satan to do whatever as long as it gives you the tension relief you so desire once you're all built up. All of this is by design meant to give you the room to deflect and scapegoat the blame onto another so that you can continue to Sloth about.
You also are resistant to outside knowledge if it otherwise is difficult for you to take in, and rather than admit to it being something you'd need to look into more you rebuke it as idiotic for not conforming to your preset notions. If you wish to escape your own cycles, then you're going to have to be willing to listen to more than yourself.
This is going to take a humbling of the ego which won't be easy in your case, as as far as I can tell you have a literal God Complex. Even if you're to go on with that complex being deserved over being a literal deity, the lack of humble affect that you have follow it reeks of Pride.
Don’t listen to TC, talk to me sweetie. Life is about pleasure and this people can’t and will never understand your point.
Do what you want, with no rugrats.
Hedonism is fine for some, but isn't she specifically trying to get away from it?

She is just too confused to understand that she has just not found the right people that will accept her.

How are you to convince her to turn away from God though?
She is specifically after the head honcho of the pecking order, and she's only willing to have that come from things she's already looked into such as Christianity rather than being open to new information.
Along with TC’s recommendation, and somewhat relatedly, is taking effort to consider what your limits are. Take on and work with what your capacity actually is. It’s good to take steps to actually pay attention to this as an initial step. It’s clear you like to rush in, take on all things, and end up acting out of getting overburdened and exasperated. It is impatience, which I’m sure you’ve recognized. But if there is anyone we should feel inclined to practice the most patience is with ourselves, shouldn’t it? Imagine how much patience God has dealing with everyone, right?
Mindfulness or attention practice might help.
From there, taking on things as you can handle would help give you sustainability.
Also, by paying attention, you may see connective patterns that might be the root of an issue which would expedite other things which turn out to be more a symptom.
