I'm a teenage girl, and I, unknowingly, began masturbating. Unknowingly meaning I didn't know what it was called, only that it felt good. Kind of. After doing a long stretch, it hurt a little. I felt dirty when I did it, but I didn't realize. I had no clue I was masturbating until a few months ago, when I looked it up. I grew up in a christian home, accepted Christ as my savior when I was four, and kept God in my life, although I wasn't as close to him as I'd have liked to be, which is all my fault. So when I found out I'd been doing this, I trashed myself after doing it. I've been struggling with this for a few years now, and I can't seem to stop. All the methods I've tried haven't worked, but I've realized in the past month or so that anything I do on my own won't work. Frankly, I didn't really want to stop, not until I realized how bad I'd gotten. I'm so glad I found this site; it reminded me that it's not about me or about fulfilling my evil fleshly desires, but that it's all about Him. I think God has used this and is using it to bring me closer and humble me with the knowledge that I could be at my addiction's mercy if not for God's mercy; there isn't a thing I can do about it without God. I don't have any questions that need answering, I just hope you will pray for me. I am too scared to tell anyone, and I'm not sure if it's because I don't think it'll help or if it is because I think they will see me differently.

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.
