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.

You say you want out? Then get out! You are a Chistian, right? Ok then! This junk has no power over you! Jesus set you free and you are free indeed! There are no chains that can hold you, no pit deep enough, no cell dark enough. Yeah baby! The sweet name of Jesus!
Maybe the door God opened is the feet He gave you at birth? That is what did it for me.
Before you were born (I am a bit of an old geezer) I ran with a crowd of drunkard depraved red necks. I really did not take part much, but I hung with them for some reason and the filth was deep. Eventually God convicted me of this sin. It took a while but I felt I neeed out. The ONLY way was to cut all ties and just disappear. Those guys still do not know what happened to me. I just changed phone numbers and addresses and got me out of their lives.
You can do the same. Just man up, walk yourself out of there, and leave the baggage behind. You will not walk alone.
Do it, Matt!

I looked at some of your older posts. God has GOT to be really at work in ya life!
In those old posts you seemed comfortable with that life, now you want out! God did that man! Not men, if it was men only, without the Holy Spirit telling you the truth youda prob told them to go away
God started it and if you let Him, He'll finish it!

Matt, the first thing you need to do is repent of your sin. This precludes all trusting God, all deliverance, and such. God is a jealous God and he cannot tolerate sin in his relationship with us.

You know that God loves you, No Matter What. Maybe you don't recall the Serenity Prayer: "God, give me the strength to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I cannot, and the wisdom to know the difference." Certainly there are aspects of the life you are living that you can make a change with, including moving out if that relationship is not working for you. And I suspect you know where you can go for help to do just that -- people who would accept you unconditionally, and help you find the resources you need to move on with your life.
PM me if you want; include your location if you feel comfortable doing that, so I can do some digging around for resource people and groups. We talked a bit on this board last spring, so I feel quite comfortable offering what little help I can be.

Well Matt, first thing you need to do is end the gay relationship. That would help solve a lot of problems. It is a sin after all. I know you're not Catholic but here's my source from the Catechism:
The bolded number is the paragraph number in the Catechism. You can see it here:
http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/2396.htm
Oh and Matt, you are definitely in my prayers.
If you want to talk further, feel free to PM me. I'm here for you if you need me. Oh and I do know a bit about same-sex attraction as I am bisexual myself.

Matt Never Existed, I knew somewhere in this forum someone would say something that I could relate to. I read your entry and cried. Still crying too. I miss him so much too!!! You are not alone my friend. Though I'm not in a same sex relationship, I have another sex partner other than my wife. We all know this partner of mine. We refer to it as the internet. I have lied and faked so much in my life to so many people. I don't want to fall either. I hate this life I live. I hate the battle that is constantly going on inside me. I hate the fact that I have all but completely surrendered to Satan. I want to be able to look at other women and see them as God's creations....not a playtoy for men. I want to stop spending hours upon hours of surfing the net for porn. I certainly don't want any of my children to grow up to be like me. It is rare that I pray, but tonight, I will pray for you!

Dear Lord,
Matt's in a relationship and wants out. This relationship totally seperates him from you, he knows it is wrong. Give him courage to step out and the right circumstances in which to do so. If he falls, catch him, and don't let anything be done out of desperation but keep his mind clear and focused on what must be done. He needs out, it's a life that builds a barrier in what should be the greatest relationship- God himself.
There will be struggles, there will be pain, but you should never be without hope and the good sense God gave you to find him.
In Jesus Name AMEN.
