Ok, thanks guys. I can understand where” open heart” "The new black" is coming from and “Samir” . I understand promiscuity is dangerous, but didn’t when I was having the episode. Which had confused me!. I think Samir is right I need to take a break from religion. I wish this never happened to be...

Ok, I don’t know why I even come to Christian forums. There have been a few really good replies. As I mentioned before I find it difficult to apologise to a so called higher deity I longer firmly believe in, I think I’m actually glad to be liberated from the Christian Religion. I’m pretty...

Actually, Samir is showing some understanding and he is not condoning so called sin. I'm on lunch break atm so posting on my phone. But I have had blood tests done and they have ruled out physical problems and other issues. It appears the majority of posts are very naive and have a odd way of...

I’m not quite sure to be honest, it happened very fast though. I think I’m now struggling with doubt because I felt I had no power in my mind to repress these intense sexual urges. It’s very confusing as It was beyond what I could control. It wasn’t just strong sexual urges but a deep libidinous...

Apologies…I’m new to this forum, so didn’t know where to place my thread. Maybe a mod could please place it somewhere appropriate? I would like to read other views..debates on this subject… Though I’m pretty certain my question has been answered. That acting out during hypomania is sinful...

1 corinthians 10:13 mentions God will not allow you to be tempted more than you can handle. I cannot relate to this at all during what I went through recently. I struggle to accept that I should apologise for something I had no control over which was allowed to happen in the first place. But...

I agree sex in the mind is not the same as the flesh. But when you have a manic high you do things out of character that includes acting out sexually. I just read a scripture online that there is no excuse for so called “sin”. I think my question has been answered now.

Thank you for your personal story about your mother being Schizophrenic/Bi-polar Depressive, and some christian attidudes towards mental illness. I can relate to that. I wish I had time to reply to the other posts right now. I want to make it clear my problem isn’t necessarily with Christians...

Thanks for your input, I used to be a strong Christian. If I rewind months ago and seen where I am “now” I wouldn’t believe me! But can I ask..How can you repent for something you had no control over in your mind? It just doesn’t ring true to me...Also what about times before medication and...

Ok, I do thank you for your replies. It reaffirms to me that Christianity does not have an understanding of mental illness (for me personally) therefore I feel confident it’s not true. What also did confuse me is about Jesus casting demons out of people, if that was these days they would have...

Is it really “sin” if it caused them preoccupation with sexual thoughts and engaged in sexual activity?

People who are experiencing a manic high do things they would not normally do. They can participate in inappropriate and risky sexual behaviour due to chemical imbalance. Some people ruin their marriages or relationships because they’re unable to control their sexual urges.

No, I'm not. I'm talking about people who have abnormal sexual episodes due to mental illness. For example bipolar/schizoaffective disorder.

If someone is having a hypersexual episode, has an extremely high libido and seeks casual sexual activities due to a chemical imbalance of the brain. Is that a sin?

Ok, a clinical doctor suggested to me about the bible being written by the mentally ill a few years back when I had psychosis. I’ve started to wonder if that is true or not. But my main struggle is not believing... I’m not having any psychotic symptoms now. I have bipolar type schizoaffective...

Hi, I’m new to this forum. I have recently been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. I become a Christian when I was 17. However, during a recent hypomanic episode, I have come to the conclusion that I no longer believe in Jesus being the son of God. I'm struggling to believe in the...
