• 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.

Okay, I'm new to this site so I'm not even sure if I'm posting this in the right place, lol.. Anyways, I'm a born again Christian woman, since 4/17/2011, and love JESUS very much. Ever since I can remember I've always been attracted to girls. I've had boy friends in the past but it just didn't feel the same. I didn't feel as 'connected' to them as I did with other girls in that way. Just recently this has gotten much worse and I feel like I don't even have any desire at all to be with a man. this is very frustrating because I know it's abomination to God and since I love Him very much I want to please Him. Has anyone else here dealt with this and been able to overcome it? If so, how did you do it? Obviously prayer, but is there anything specific that can be done that might help the situation? I'd even be willing to stay single the rest of my life if I have to but that still doesn't take away the desires I have. Please help, someone..!!!

I'll do my best to voice my opinions here , although you don't have to take them ( or listen to them even !!) in my less than expert opinion it isn't an abomination to god to be lbgt or anything else for that matter , its not a choice and there is no way to " cure " it. If you were totally straight , you can't suddenly stop liking members of the opposite sex just when you want.

Feeling comfortable in your own skin allows you to spread the lords word , so embrace what you want , knowing that god always loves you for who YOU are.


Blessings :)

I was able to overcome. After 18+ years of living in sin. So I am sure if you truly love God and plan on being obedient to him..You will explain to him exactly what your heart is truly feeling. However, you first must have God's spirit living within you. John 3v5 Its given to those who have faith and are willing to obey Christ. If you feel his presence in you and you have been baptized in the name of the father son and holy spirit..you now can work on getting rid of the lust demon that is trying to keep you in bondage. Even when its gone. Your mind has to be cleaned/switch has to be turn off..this only happen when Christ feels its ready for it to be turn off. All based on your faith. Fasting, doing good works..reading, reading, reading the bible. Learning about Christ and seeing if you are aligned with him and what you can fix to be better. (Matthew, Mark, Luke) kind of repetitive, but each book has more detail on chapter than the other..If you understand him and constantly seek him...when you ask him..he will help. One key point to note is having the power of restraint! The more you detach yourself from this life for God the more he will reveal himself to you. Do let any rule go unnotice...everything that you read you must follow...if its difficult..pray about it. Ask for help. He's a good, fair, loving and compassionate God. He doesn't want to lose any of his sheeps
