• 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.

So to make an extremely long story short. Since I was around 5 or 6 years old I've been masturbating. I was exposed at a very young age and I was touched around that age by another child who was also a female( i didnt know at the time that she was being SA at that time until years later). I was touched again around 9 and 10 by another child who wss female. I am now 32. I was hard core with it and watching Corn in my high school years. When I got saved in 2012 I slowed down on it. Now as my relationship with Christ has deepened I've went from masturbating multiple times a day and watching corn to once maybe every other month. I stopped watching corn completely in 2020. I want to be fully healed and delivered from this because I am not getting any pleasure or satisfaction from it any longer and number one I know it's not pleasing to the Lord. I'm single and have been abstinant (no penetration) for 12 years. It seems like my urges are becoming stronger as I age. I would love some prayers! Also has anyone else gone or is going through this? I know this is a very taboo topic. Especially coming from a woman

I think one good thing is that you are getting better and better. Another thing is, try to bring some positive activities and influences in your life. Try to keep your mind busy with positive, good, and wholesome activities that you like. Maybe a hobby, or music, or painting, or exercising... A good way of getting rid of the darkness some times is to just simply introduce some light. These should be activities that you really enjoy. I will pray for you. Also, will pray for a good companionship for you. Do you attend church, or maybe Zoom call service of a church. Somewhere, where you will be able to meet people and interact?
God bless.
