• 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.

If you take the time to read this, then may God Bless you. Forgive me, but I do not wish to mention (or remember) the incident I am talking about. What I was feeling is the true importance...

Two years ago, I did something. I did something very bad. Something that should never be forgiven.

I saw something very bad one ordinary night, and I was imagining it in my head over and over again after I saw what I had seen. I don't know why, but I did. I knew in my heart it was bad, but I continued anyway.

So, I kept on doing it. Doing it and doing it again and again. Until finally, I was caught. But, to some extent, I thank God that I was caught.

Who knows what could have occured if I had kept doing it.

I would have thrown away my entire future, never being able to return to what I was originally, according to my parents, a "good, intelligent little boy, who always respected what he was told."

For five months, I was living in constant anxiety, fear, and stress that something should happen to me. And for five months, I prayed non-stop. I constantly asked God to take away the burden that was hovering over my head, the fears that had consumed my mind. I told Him multiple times that I was truly sorry for what I had done, the sin that had tained my mind and soul.

I begged Him for His Mercy to be laid upon, and that even a little bit of His Mercy was too much for me. But I asked anyway, every day.

I was so nervous, that I had actually developed dandruff. Dandruff can occur due to extreme emotional distress, which I was under constantly. I had also lost 46 lbs, both due to exercising, and the constant depression, fear, and anxieties.

I got straight As, I was exercising every day, and I prayed every night, hoping that my mistake had not ruined my entire life.

I believe now that the incident is over now. But...I feel as though my mistake is not completely gone.

I feel like there's still a lesson that needs to be learned from my horrible and evil mistake, that was lead to me by the devil. I fear, that although I feel like I'm now on calm waters, God might still be planning an even more-still severe punishment for my wicked and devious sin.

Remember, the last person you ever want to get angry, is the LORD Himself. And God, all I ask is that you give me Peace from this sin, and let me live my life happily. Have Mercy on Me, Jesus Christ.

Please, Lord, I beg of You, let me live the way I imagined my life when I was a small boy: happily, successful, a good person, and with a beautiful family. I promise to never do this sin again, and I will try my hardest to obery your Ten Commandments.

Thank you so much for reading what I was feeling. And please, if you can find in your heart, please make a small prayer for me, a seventeen-year-old sinner who has already committed enough sins for one lifetime. Thank you, and may the Son of God Bless you.
