Tired of Feeling Used by Men: A Late-Night Christian Video Diary on Healing — Pulse of Fame

Tired of Feeling Used by Men: A Late-Night Christian Video Diary on Healing

By Petty Pablo | Lead Social Analyst

There are nights when the tough talk runs out, and what’s left is the honest truth. The kind you can’t organize into a neat caption, or wrap with a bow at the end. This is one of those moments, a raw, late-night check-in where healing doesn’t look polished, it looks like tears, restlessness, and choosing God again anyway.

What follows is a real-time picture of what it can feel like to come out of a relationship, confront old patterns, and fight the urge to fill the quiet with the wrong kind of attention, even when you know better.

A raw video diary, posted anyway

It’s 12:45 a.m., Friday, March 13, and Dyani Neves is recording in the aftermath of crying hard. The tone isn’t curated. It’s the opposite of a “put together” update, and that’s the point.

She says this upload feels different, more like a diary than content. Even with an audience that’s used to her being open, this goes a level deeper. The risk is part of the moment, because posting it feels humiliating, but staying hidden feels like staying stuck.

A line that lands early is how vulnerability can still be controlled. Dyani admits she can share heartbreak or surrender without showing how hard it actually is. Sometimes that’s wisdom, because not everything belongs online. Still, sometimes it’s a wall, and she believes God has been pressing her to stop making the process look easy.

“Balling my eyes out, dude. Just like everything hitting me all at once.”

She even clocks the timing, Friday the 13th, and wonders out loud if that’s why the night feels so heavy, mentioning spiritual warfare. It’s not presented like a spooky story, more like a candid “this is where my head is” admission.

Why the cycle of feeling used keeps coming back

What triggers the spiral is simple: she starts thinking about the relationship God “freed” her from, and the thoughts turn into a bigger confession. She’s tired of feeling used, especially by men, and she’s tired of the part of her that keeps reaching for men as a solution.

The pattern, as she describes it, didn’t start in childhood relationships, but it did start when she began opening herself up out of a need for validation and comfort. Looking back, she frames it plainly: anyone outside of Jesus was the wrong place to go for that kind of filling.

Her frustration isn’t only with men. It’s also with the reflex inside her that wants a man “in the picture,” even when she knows she wants her deepest craving to be for God alone.

To make it concrete, the cycle she’s naming has a familiar rhythm:

  1. A need for validation, comfort, or attention rises.
  2. She opens her heart in the wrong direction.
  3. The aftermath feels like being used, drained, or unseen.
  4. She returns to God, but the itch comes back.

That “itch” becomes one of the most honest parts of the night. She describes her flesh as restless, almost desperate to find someone who can distract her, someone who can give attention on demand. It’s not romanticized. It’s called what it is: a learned coping habit that keeps offering quick relief and long-term regret.

When “pursuing God” still had a hidden motive

Dyani also tells the truth that a lot of people avoid saying out loud. Even in a season when she gave God her full attention, there was still a background thought running.

“Even when I was giving God my full attention a few years ago… it was still at the back of my mind.”

That thought sounded spiritual, but it still centered a man: pursue God so God can bring the husband, become a wife by building a relationship with the Lord. She doesn’t deny the relationship with God was real. She just admits the motive was mixed.

Now, after being pulled out of something she says she idolized for almost two years (and really longer, since it was tied to idolizing the love she hoped to get through a man), she’s in a new kind of withdrawal. The old comfort is gone, and the quiet gets loud.

What makes it harder is that when she tries to “scratch the itch” by chasing attention, she says God blocks it. That might sound frustrating, but she also says she’s been praying for that. She’s been asking God to block the shortcuts and give her grace to put Him first, because that’s what she actually wants.

And yet she repeats the line that many believers feel but don’t post: it’s hard. It’s really hard. She’s only been out of the relationship since December, and now it’s March. The timeline matters because it explains why the grief still has weight. Healing rarely follows the calendar.

For readers who want a complementary perspective on post-breakup faith, Crosswalk has a related piece, How to Find Healing in Christ After a Breakup, that echoes the idea that pain can be real without being permanent.

Shame, regret, and the moment God said “let this go”

As the emotions come up, the memories get sharper. She thinks about how badly the relationship ended and what she wishes she’d done differently. There’s a strong note of shame in how she describes her own behavior, including how she spoke to the other person.

She calls herself, “as a quote unquote Christian,” and says she’s ashamed. Some moments she was on fire for God and wanted to pull him closer to God. Other moments don’t match that, and the contrast makes her feel like she failed God and failed the person because she “knew better.”

That sentence, “I knew better so I should’ve done better,” hits because it’s not just regret. It’s self-judgment.

Still, she doesn’t stay in condemnation. She brings it back to the beginning, saying this wasn’t a relationship she was supposed to be in from the start. She remembers a clear conviction from God, a moment where God told her, “Let this go,” and she didn’t.

Her warning is direct: if you’re in a relationship or situationship and God is telling you to walk away, listen. She frames the cost as “unnecessary heartbreak,” the kind you take on when you keep trying, pushing, fighting, and refusing to leave what God already asked you to release.

She also adds a practical heart-check that’s easy to overlook. When God gives an instruction you don’t want, pay attention to what rises up in you, then ask why you don’t want to obey. That resistance tells a story.

In the middle of all this, she notices a rash forming on her hand and wonders if it’s from the gym, creatine, or maca root. It’s a small detail, but it grounds the whole video in reality. Life keeps happening while you’re trying to process your heart.

Restlessness, blocked distractions, and fighting for faith

Dyani doesn’t pretend the spiritual language makes the pressure disappear. In fact, the tension is the point. She says she’s been telling herself to distract from what she feels by pouring into ministry, uploading more, doing more. Part of that aligns with what she believes she’s called to do. Still, motivation isn’t showing up on command.

She describes it like fighting for peace, fighting to stay focused, fighting to do what she knows she needs to do. Progress feels like one step forward and fifty steps back. The past couple of weeks, and especially the past week, have felt like intense opposition.

The scary part is how giving up can feel tempting and overwhelming at the same time. She thinks, “If I give up, then what?” Bills don’t stop. Rent doesn’t pause. She says God has been telling her He’ll provide through her content, through her ministry, through what He called her to do, but she admits she’s struggling to keep the faith.

This is also where the “used by men” theme expands into a broader point. When you stop leaning on another person to numb the void, the weight of anxiety can feel heavier for a while. Without the distraction, you’re left facing tomorrow’s emotions, tomorrow’s worry, tomorrow’s uncertainty.

Yet even in that, she keeps repeating that God is faithful. The honesty is not faithlessness. It’s the kind of prayer that starts as a tremble and ends as a steadier breath.

God’s comfort through Scripture (Hosea 6) and a personal letter

A key shift happens when she acknowledges her resistance to the Bible. She wants to get in the Word, but she doesn’t want to, and she calls it what it is: her flesh. She says her flesh and the enemy know what she needs is in Scripture, so resistance shows up right where the help is.

Then she opens to Hosea 6, reading a call to repentance:

“Come, let us return to the Lord, for he has torn us and he will heal us. He has wounded us and he will bind up our wounds. He will revive us after two days. And on the third day, he will raise us up so we can live in his presence. Let us strive to know the Lord. His appearance is as sure as the dawn. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the land.”

She reacts in real time, “Wow,” because the imagery lines up with what she says God has been speaking to her.

She shares parts of a letter she wrote in her diary that she attributes to God speaking to her, dated Saturday, March 7, with timestamps from her writing process. She explains that after a long journal entry, she felt God say, “Let me write through you,” and she wrote the letter.

Here are key excerpts she chooses to read:

“My dear daughter, my dear son, I love you so much. I see and feel every ounce of pain you faced these past few years… I am coming to rescue you from the pit. This is your last relapse… Allow me to heal the wounds in your heart from men and women… ‘This wasn’t a failure, just a lesson.’ A mere misalignment. Let it go… I am going to provide for you supernaturally. I am opening the floodgates of heaven over your life. Let it rain.”

She also reads the Scriptures she wrote at the bottom of the pages: Matthew 11:28 (“Come to me all of you who are weary…”) and Deuteronomy 31:8 (“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you.”)

The takeaway she draws is simple: God doesn’t call you somewhere without going ahead of you. The pruning feels uncomfortable on purpose, but she believes the fruit will be worth it.

A prayer for the weary, the anxious, and the ones craving validation

The last stretch of the video turns into prayer. It’s not staged. It feels like a release valve. She prays for anyone watching with a heavy heart, stressed, anxious, worried about tomorrow, and even worried they won’t rest well tonight.

She asks God to meet people where they are, to surround them with peace, and to help them sense God beside them, even if they can’t see Him physically. She thanks God for strength to keep holding on and to choose God over the desires of the flesh.

A few themes repeat throughout her prayer:

She prays for freedom from the shackles of validation, including the need to impress or perform for other people.

She rebukes mindsets like “things will never work out for me,” and asks for supernatural confidence and boldness through the Holy Spirit.

She prays for open doors and favor, for clarity in decision-making, and for God to remove people who are not meant to be in someone’s life (whether that happens through a clean conversation or a sudden ending). She’s careful to say removal doesn’t mean those people are worthless, only that it may not be God’s will for them to stay.

Provision becomes a major focus too, bills, rent, debt, groceries, children, and daily needs. She thanks God in advance, praying that provision is already on the way, and that people will remember to give God the glory when it shows up.

She even prays for confirmation, asking God to send a sign “so big” and “so clear” that it removes doubt about whether someone heard God correctly.

When the prayer ends, she admits she’s still sad, but a weight lifted. The final note is plain and powerful: she prayed, and she feels better.

If you’re looking for the salvation prayer she includes in her video description, it’s available on her site as Dyani Neves’ “Getting Saved” page.

Community updates: reopening the space and preparing for a corporate fast

Before signing off, Dyani shares a couple community notes. She tells viewers the community has been reopened, while she continues working things out with the Lord. She also says she feels God telling her to “pop on in and start,” even if it’s not perfect.

She mentions plans for a corporate fast soon, with a focused intention: praying and petitioning for God to restore the fear of the Lord. That’s not framed as a trendy spiritual challenge. It’s framed as a reset, a return to reverence.

For anyone who wants to connect beyond the video, she links to her spaces and support options in the description, including Complete in Christ Community on Skool and one-on-one mentorship calls with Dyani Neves.

Conclusion: when healing looks like honesty, not perfection

The main thing this video captures is that breaking a cycle doesn’t happen in one brave decision. It happens in the quiet hours, when the itch for attention shows up, and you still choose obedience. The emotions are real, the resistance is real, and the faith is real too. If you’re in a season where God is asking you to let something go, the release might hurt, but staying can cost more.
