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.

Hello Walsingham, since we're both looking for accountability partners, I guess we could work with being each other's partner. Whatdya say?Greetings everyone
I have/had/am in the process of working through consequences of sexual brokenness and sin (I hesitate to use the word "addiction" because it creates identify issues that I think I would short-circuit my continued transformation in Christ) before and within my (approaching first anniversary) marriage. This recovery is complicated by my wife's own PTSD resulting from past sexual offenses committed against her, and from what I am coming to see as a continued partial isolation in my struggle, outlined below.
I am currently involved in a men's recovery group called Walking Free that utilizes Building For Freedom: Allowing Christ to Reconstruct a Life Broken by Sexual Sin by Troy Haas. However I don't feel really connected to the men on either the small group I was placed with, or the group-at-large, for while it is non-denominational in make-up and intent there is still an undercurrent of theological difference that I classify as too Protestant for my comfort. This is not to cas aspersions on the group, I wouldnt be where I am today without them.
Amother problem is the nature of my own sexual acting out is not encouraged to be fully shared because of potential triggers for others, bit in a nutshell it involves the use of hentai - Japanese animated inappropriate contentographic material video and graphic novel form. Simply put, it's hard to talk about it with others in the group (rather it is discouraged) or identify the pull of that particular form on my life.
I am searching for an accountability partner who is sensitive to the pull of this material, even of he hasn't been exposed to it as I was.
Thanks in advance for your advice, counsel and Prayers.
Hello, I'm a married man who goes for awhile living life according to God's word. Then I spiral into gay inappropriate content and nothing will satisfy my hunger until I have a gay hookup. Restroom, park, you name it. I go through this stage of craving a man not just for sex but to touch, hold and caress. Then it's like I wake up from a dream state and realize once again I've failed God. I know I cannot ever move forward without an accountability partner. For now, at least, I need someone rooted and grounded, and someone who has struggled with gay sex. <staff edit> Thanks.
I haven't masturbated for 14 days now... Praise you God, the Lord Jesus! Thank you Lord and I declare victory for the days to come, for me and for all of my brothers and sisters here in this thread.
