I am a Christian who is addicted to homosexual inappropriate contentography. I sometimes use inappropriate contentography as a way to medicate myself because I do not trust medications(they have hurt me pretty bad in the past). I am afraid that God has had enough of me. I do not really go to church because it is also scary for me. The church seems to affirm this idea that God is going to destroy me if I don't stop. I do not know how I will stop with all of my problems because it really hurts when I do not use inappropriate contentography. I get that hell is much worse than any of these feelings, but that isn't enough to stop me. I get tortured and eventually I give in. I use the word torture because eventually I am audibly saying please stop. I beg the thoughts to stop as if they are a person torturing me because I do not know what to do. I have been begging God for more than half a decade.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I do not know about struggles with homosexual inappropriate contentography and homosexuality in general - other people hopefully do - but I do know that God won't give up on you. But just looking at what and how you write, I can see you're full of guilt and shame and you genuinely suffer in fear. Fear of God, for me, means respect and humility before him, not a fear of some malevolent ruler who searches for you with a sword in hand.
God is not the one who lays bear traps at your feet and twirls his moustache when you hurt yourself. God is not the one who takes every opportunity to make you suffer in confusion.
God is the one who goes after the lost lamb. God is the one who welcomes the prodigal son. God is the one who sacrificed his only begotten Son for us. God is love, and God is true.
inappropriate contentography is something that many - especially those who are alone - struggle with, including myself. Whatever our sins are in our earthly ways, we are all sinners nonetheless. Which sin is the worse than the other? If I tell you my sins, will you insist that yours are greater? That would be nonsense, dear friend.

Paul said in his letter to the Galatians:
4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
Let this comfort you, friend. We are to believe that Christ died for our sins. Every last one of them. He took them all. What are we to do, since we still sin? We are to believe that the grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is greater than any amount of sin we can muster (surely we can't say that sin - which is what we all do - is greater than God himself!), and to try and follow Him as best as we can in faith, and in love.
Let the love in, my friend. Said a little prayer for you.
