• 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 used to have cancer. Thankyou so much to everyone who has been praying for me. My concerns are with my health issues now but also sexual issues that may come up. Also I am 24 and want to stay pure. Having cancer at this age, not going to lie I was tempted to do stuff. I am struggling alot with my health and relationships and what healthy relationships are like, what is good and bad. So this is just in continuation to that. Those that posted in the other thread thanks again for prayers. I am so glad I don't have cancer anymore. I think I got cancer from well, obviously an attack from satan in my spirit but also I think I got it from using a product called Veet, a popular shaving chemical similar to nair but stronger. Bad bad stuff. Do not use it. It gets in your blood stream and I had cancer in my lymph which filters the blood stream from stuff. They are trying to take this product off the shelves in Canada.

Good to hear that you don't have cancer anymore! I will remember Veet, I remember my ex used it sometimes. Probably better to do like the guys, to use foam/gel without nasty chemicals and a razor :)

I believe that you can find a healthy relationship if that is what you want. I seriously doubt there is many people that go single all their life if they are interested in having someone and do something to get someone. Usually don't take much to find love and romance. I contacted a girl a while ago and then we seemed to be very similar people and quickly became attached to each other. And it didn't take much, only that I wanted to talk with her and that she wanted the same, and then it evolved. I have a friend that is really a great guy. I think he got good looks, and he got a great personality, but he himself is absolutely sure that no girl would like him, so then he never does anything about it, even if I know he would like to find someone to love. And it is a bit frustrating, cause I know a lot worse people then him get girlfriends. Actually people that behave totally like jerks, and still they get love and romance. And the same with you as my friend, I am sure there is good qualities about you and something a man would like, so just keep your eyes open, and I am sure you will find a healthy relationship :)

I can understand that you wanted to experience everything life has to offer when you had cancer, I would probably feel the same. But it is my experience that relationships that only have to do with sex, quickly dies out and vanishes into nothing. And even if sex is tempting sometimes, it don't feel as good as one might imagine when it is only about sex and nothing else. So physical attraction is something I think people should think less about, and instead find someone like themselves, that they would enjoy to spend time with. It is my experience that sex is better when it is mixed with love, and when it is with a person that one really likes. I think it is scientifically proved that people seem more attractive when they have a personality others like, and that is a kind of attraction that don't die out so easy.

Not sure if any of this helped you, just wanted to give a reply to the post, and share my thoughts.
