• 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 had sex earlier today and felt horrible. I prayed and asked for forgivness just still feel kind of down need help!!!!!

Presuming this was consensual:

You will remain feeling horrible until you let it go. The deed is done, all you can do is acknowledge that it has happened and use the experience to move forward. Identify the point you made the decision to have sex, consider how you could have avoided that decision being made or even reaching the stage where sex was an option, and use that to help regain control should you find yourself in a similar situation.

Breathe, remember the past cannot be undone but it can be learned from, and remember that sometimes these negative feelings have to run their course. So long as you do not allow the negativity to consume you or hold onto it for a prolonged period of time just keep breathing, praying and moving forward.
