• 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.

Yes I have. For a long time I've watched unwholesome things on tv and on the Internet and have read unwholesome books. I've stopped and really feel like the physical stuff that's going on is the only way the devil can get at me. I'm not comfortable talking with anyone irl about this because it's personal. But thankyou for praying.

If you are young and single you have some thinking to do about integrating your sexuality and values in a healthy way. That won't happen overnight. But you are most likely having issues related to sexual maturity rather than just sexual sins.

I'm glad to hear that you've stopped reading and watching the things that trip you up - what we put into our minds can really affect us. It's great that you've recognized this and are taking the appropriate steps. :)

Sending more prayers!

Love in Christ,
Jess

Hey i am going through the same thing too. I am just tired of it, it's hard to see myself as someone that GOD loves. Tones of prayers and rivers of tears doesn't seem enough. i am just confused and broken. The hardest thing is nobody seems to understand what you are going through and you have to fight it all by yourself. It is just hard not being able to stop even though you want too. Well i don't know what to do except to wait for GOD. Really sis i really wish that GOD hears yours prayer and get you out of this. Be blessed

You may find you have to avoid certain people and situations as well. At least initially until you feel more comfortable. Though I don't know if that is the case with you.

Thankyou kind people for praying and for understanding. It's been a hard year but God has really been working in me, changing me and making me new. He's made me realize that I havn't been healthy sexually, and I want to be. In regards to needing to stay away from certain people and situations, that doesn't really apply to this situation, it's more watching romantic scenes in tv and then thinking about them and wanting it for myself, and I also think just lack of self control. Thanks again for praying, I appreciate it! :)
