I'm not here to tell you what to think or do, but to give you as much honest, accurate information as possible. If I don't know an answer to a specific question, I'll research it before replying. I won't sugarcoat things; my job is to tell it like it is.

I've got a particular interest in sexual health and sexuality. I know a lot about fertility and pregnancy - and firsthand now, as I've just had twins. I'm also an accredited sexual health worker.

Questioning things means that you are trying to make sense of yourself and understand yourself better. This is a good thing in the long run, though right now it might be painful or confusing.

What questioning allows you to do is think about your values, experiences, and personality - this means that when you come to a decision or realization about yourself, it is the correct one.

For example, many people are born into a faith system and just stick to it their whole lives without questioning anything. Is this real faith? I would argue that having doubts, exploring, and then coming to an understanding will lead you to a more genuine and honest place.

Faith and sexuality are two huge issues that deserve some time to be explored.

This tension and confusion could be affecting your back, or it could be something else. Try to think back and remember if there was a specific day it began hurting, or if you did anything that might have caused it to get strained.

With regards to your back tension and all of your confusion, you need to figure out a way to help yourself cope. This could be talking to friends, journalling, taking jogs in the evening, painting, taking bubble baths - whatever it is that gives you an opportunity to relax.

Best of luck.
