• 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.

Praise Report

I have a praise report: it's been two months and I am off ALL medicines!!
I cannot even believe it. God has been SO good to me.
I can't really post any kind of steps or formula,-The main things I did was just cry out to God from my heart, and be real. I didn't try really hard,or try to follow some steps, - I just kept falling down and kept going back to God,and eventually He just took it away, which is incredible if you knew how long and how hard I've been struggling with this.
One very crucial thing I will say: I heard a testimony of a very godly preacher who's in his later years of his ministry. (This was from John MacArthur-you can check it out.)
This preacher admitted to some of his closest friends towards the end of his ministry, -that he had secretly struggled with homosexuality, ALL his life. This does not mean he gave into it and acted on it- he did Not! But he said that he struggled with it every single day, through his life.
For some reason this gives me hope! -being tempted is not a sin; acting on it is. I will probably struggle with this temptation maybe my whole life. At first that horrified me. Now, it comforts me, because I know that that is part of the Christian life and the Lord will help me through it.
I have hope. -so please have hope!
Please email me if you need prayer-I'm very good at praying.
love in Christ
