• 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, I am new to this site. I am 22 years old, I was raised in a Christian home and my entire life I have struggled with homosexual attractions; I acted on them by viewing Pornography, so I was trapped in that for years in 07 I believe I actually came to know Jesus and serve in the church. I still struggle with these issues, I have confessed my struggle to my pastor and I asked him to tell my father and recently I told a close friend. I did safe eyes for Internet twice for filter and I always found suddel ways to by pass and get what I wanted. If I'm not deeply discouraged by this then I am apathetic. I go to church every week and I play an instrument on the worship team but I don't "feel" anything.. I don't think I feel God. What do you think i should I do?

Hey just carry on. A righteous man will fall 7 times and each time just get back up again. You will fall many times dude but don't ever let that put you off God. Satin wants you to feel worthless and turn away, don't let satin win this one, don't feel down once you've given into lust, it will happen many more times but try Not to give in, eventually what's suppose to happen is you get so sick of Sin ruling your life you eventually hate it so much you decide to stop. I am on the exact Same road as you, I can go clean for afew weeks then get pulled right back Into it, but I get back up repent and carry on!
