• 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.

Hey Guys,
I am a 19yr old male university student. Born to a respected Indian christian family. I have been struggling with homosexuality and masturbation from a very young age.I know this is a sin and I want to change but I seem to be falling rite back ... This has destroyed my childhood and I don't want to this sin to destroy my future.

I have never spoken this to anyone in my entire life.I am opening up now because I know I need support .

My very close relative recently got married......and thoughts like 'will i ever get married' 'have children' has really hurt me.

I , surly recognize a beautiful girl. But I have never been attracted to one , the way a man should.

I have always hoped for a friend who could help me out of this mess, but my community and friends are quite different.

Pls pray for me. :groupray:
May the good Lord Jesus bless you.
If it is Gods will, you could be my supporting christian friend.

Hello bro ..be strong and dont give up ! no matter how hard it gets ..just keep this in mind - God has a great calling on your life .. of course Many are called but few are chosen.. you must make it ! you must conquer ! your a soldier in the the army of the living God ! its not easy because many people dont understand YOU neither do we understand ourselves sometimes ...

2 corinthians 10:1-6
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh
4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds),
5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;

<Staff Edit>
the word and prayer and fasting ..those are our weapon ...

jeremiah 29:11

11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.


jeremiah 31:3
... I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you.


isaiah 1:5
5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.

isaiah 57:15-19
Isaiah 57:15-19
Amplified Bible (AMP)
15 For thus says the high and lofty One&#8212;He Who inhabits eternity, Whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, but with him also who is of a thoroughly penitent and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the thoroughly penitent [bruised with sorrow for sin].
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I be angry always, for [if I did stay angry] the spirit [of man] would faint and be consumed before Me, and [My purpose in] creating the souls of men would be frustrated.
17 Because of the iniquity of his covetousness and unjust gain I was angry and smote him. I hid my face and was angry, and he went on turning away and backsliding in the way of his [own willful] heart.
18 I have seen his [willful] ways, but I will heal him; I will lead him also and will recompense him and restore comfort to him and to those who mourn for him.
19 Peace, peace, to him who is far off [both Jew and Gentile] and to him who is near! says the Lord; I create the fruit of his lips, and I will heal him [make his lips blossom anew with speech in thankful praise].

isaiah 43:1-2
But now thus says the Lord, He Who created you, O Jacob, and He Who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you [ransomed you by paying a price instead of leaving you captives]; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you.

You are a soldier of christ. It is not easy as forces of darkness will want to lead you from the path of light but the light is always stronger than the dark.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 5:19-26
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
