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.

There is definitely more to it. Here is the story:
I find myself "falling" for a young man who has died at age 36. He was the son of a world famous actor and I find myself having a crush on him. He gives me great comfort and I think about him often. I wonder if this is idolatry. I wonder if I am sinning because of obsessive thoughts and doubts about being born again. I have often wondered if I will ever be a true believer in Christ.

Obsessive thoughts are not a sin, they are something that are hard to control. I don't know much about idolatry so I can't answer that one. I have a crush on a singer, actually 2 of them and it's never going to lead to more than that I know. I do have problems with relating to men in the real world, I mean forming a relationship with one. I'm actually scared because I've been hurt so much by them in my life. Does any of that ring true for you?

You have am imaginary relationship with him only, and now that he has died it is folly to continue with those dreams. You need to let him go and get on with your life and maybe find a real life partner to share your life with.
