• 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.

Hang in there, brother.
Guilt is a very destructive thing, and hard to deal with. But it is in the past, and you need to leave it there and move on with your life. Try to prepare some counter arguements for when the guilt starts.
For instance, if your mind says "You are an evil person, you committed a horrible sin and God hated you" be ready to come back...
" I am not a horrible person, I am a child of God and he loves me. I committed a sin, I repented and it is gone now, it is no longer part of me and it has no hold over me"

It may seem a little artificial, but if you keep confessing that aloud, your mind will begin to accept and believe it.

I'm not trying to put it lightly or anything but guilt and shame will consume you if in complicated situations you can't just admit what you did and why you did it. Once you figure that out, you have the framework to how you need to ask for forgiveness and redirect and refoucs your life. What you did will live on in your head for while and there will be things throughtout your life that will remind you of it but you have got to get control of these feelings and why you did it. Also I don't think you should label yourself as "gay", you tried it and your took care of the curiousity. I'm not saying it was the right thing but you explored it, now you know, and now you can start to move on from it.
