• 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.

Hello, my name is Sean Burke and I am a devout man of god. I want to preface this by expressing the severity of the issue at hand, and that it is by no means a joke, which many people (even Christians) my age seem to think it is. I have been a practicing worshiper and servant of the lord to the best of my ability since the day I was born, but I have been having unchristian thoughts, and I have acted upon them. For years now I have been attracted to my best friend Eric, who is obviously a man. The image of god is man with woman, Adam with Eve, I’m very aware of this, and I pray and pray but the thoughts have persisted. I have done nothing with or to Eric, but I’ve pleasures myself a number of times to him and I’m VERY aware that doing that even to a woman I’m unmarried to is even unchristian. I am lost, I spoke to the priest at the church I’ve been attending, and he said it wasn’t that big of a deal and that I was doing my best, but honestly I think that’s bologna and I curse my own body and thoughts every night knowing I’m cursed to damnation. Can someone help me, give me guidance? Give me recourses to get this affliction away from me? Praying for all of you and praying to find the help I need. Praise him thank you
