• 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 am probably the most blessed person in the world, and I say that as humbly as I can. I still touch, lust, defy regulatory and needed self control, feel insecure and strive to find a gf. I am unhappy. I love the Lord with all my heart and have a relationship with Him. It could be better and I know that I haven't exactly striven to enhance it. My want for a girlfriend is excessive and dominates my everyday thinking. I am hopeless. Why do I these things.

Sometimes, an excessive need for a gf (and maybe some of the other issues) is a symptom of a self-esteem issue. Essentially, looking for validation in other people and things.

There are all sorts of resources out there for people trying to overcome that difficulty, if it is in fact the problem you are having. This page looked good, you may be able to find one that is better suited to you.

Thread moved from Depression to Struggles with Sexuality. As a reminder for posting in Recovery:

Recovery is a place people come to stop doing these things and using the Christian faith to help cope with problems. Other areas of CF can be used for discussions of many of these topics including, in some cases, endorsement of them. Included in this rule is posting triggers to self harmful behaviors.​
