• 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.

Hello, I recently separated with my girlfriend of 3 years and for the past year with her has been a roller coaster and I need to let it all out because its like weight on my heart. When we first started going out we both accepted Christ in our hearts but we didn't take God serious back then. Our biggest sin was sex we started when we were 15 and we kept doing it and our relationship started failing in all aspects over the course of the past 3 years we've broken up and gotten back like 7 times. I started to realize that our sins were the cause of this all we argued all the time and we became 2 completely different people and I was struggling with my own problems with pornography and I was like throwing my self to The bottom and I couldn't realize it. My mind was so messed up that regular sex didn't pleasure me anymore so I offered to do a threesome with my best friend and my gf (I didn't do anything with my friend if that makes any sense like nothing gay) shocked my girlfriend agreed and I get a gut churning feeling in my stomach when I think about it . It all happened and I felt disgusting I never felt so far from God and I tried to live The double life a good Christian in church and at home but a complete different case out in the world .


My girlfriend eventually realized what we did was wrong but the damaged was already done she confessed that she cheated on me with him. My whole world turned upside down. I was at her house when she told me ,I couldn't believe what was happening my best friend and my girlfriend had betrayed me I rushed to my car and drove like 50 mph to his house with tears and anger my heart was pumping so fast thoughts of murder ran through my head I didn't know what was real anymore. When I got there I talked to him I was able to calm down but I had a blade in my pocket ready for the right moment but it didn't come. He broke down crying, I broke down crying he said he was sorry and we spoke a lot but il skip the details.

4 months from then I figured out that my ex and my ex Bestfriend were really close and I had been put aside by everyone my parents found out about everything I was so ashamed. It's like everyone had moved on and forgot about me like I was forsaken. Loneliness and sadness turned to anger and hatred towards both I knew they were going to go out even after everything. I was filled with hate and Instead of getting closer to God I channelled it into excercise I lifted all day everyday and I felt great but when I left the gym I felt empty so empty it was horrible. I was in the best shape of my life but I going crazy everyday would be constant reminders of my mistakes I couldn't sleep Becuase I would cry of how I got this point.

Eventually I got closer to God I tried to give him everything but half heartily I just wanted peace that's it. It was the summer and I texted my ex if I could talk to her my mom who is The greatest person ever told me that I should talk to her and apologize and maybe even work things out. I figured I did miss her and my hate was really just jealousy masked. I did and this is getting long so Ima skip the details, we ended up fixing things and we both seemed like new people but that wasn't the case we were good for about 2 months and I told her from the beginning that out of respect for me you can't talk to Steve (my ex Bestfriend) that didn't sit too well with him since he was like 99.9% close to going out with her and I took her away now the tensions between us was bad I hated him he hate me. Eventually me and her went back to our old selves like nothing changed at all I was angry at God why is he letting this all happen in my life? We split up this time for good but now she's friends with Steve again and I know his intentions. And this is now the present and to have to see them together kills me so badly like you have no idea. Now I am devoting my entire life to God and I see the changes but I can't let of this resentment I texted Steve yesterday saying sorry hoping the chains on my neck would be gone. All I want is to be free of this and my mom said God won't forgive me if I don't forgive those who wronged me. But every day in my Life is a battle sometimes I win sometimes I lose but I won't lose faith in my savior I know this is all a lesson and I'm understanding this now I have to deal with everyone in school looking down at me Becuase they found out I have no friends I lost them all but I don't need friends Becuase I have God and I'm trying so hard this has messed me up so bad almost like trauma I had a nightmare last night and It was about all this. I just needed to let this all out and I felt The urge to share Becuase while its not over I feel like God told me to share my story Becuase maybe It can save someone from going down the same path that I went through. Thank you for listening God bless you all.

Even though it feels like we've screwed up our entire lives, God still has a plan.

Even when we give up on God, or feel like He has abandoned us He's still there.

It's good to hear you are devoting your life to God. He will see you through this if you let Him, and perhaps it will help someone else going through the same situation.

Often times our own mistakes, and struggles can be of help to other people going through similar things.

I hope you continue to find healing and guidance from God.

The relationship needs to end and stay ended. It started on the wrong basis and went badly astray.

You will need to see who you are in Christ, accept a new beginning and get on with the rest of your life. You will struggle with aspects of your sexuality though. Feel free to PM me if ever you want to toss some ideas around.

Bless you

Thank you for your sharing; it is sure that God sent his son Jesus to fulfill
The debt so our sins are redeemed; but it was not only for that. Followers of Christ were called to follow him and give up from their lifes. I know still that we all want to live our life and find love and such ; what is great is that God loves us so much that He let us live like so; He only required you to be a believer in Christ to be saved and be redeemed from being an empty soul without christ.

I dont know what are your interests in life, but what i know is that we , believers, are also call for a life with the Spirit. This mean leading a life that you give all to Jesus in front of you: your present and all that it holds, your heart, your body, your ownings, your moment; etc all of this, if gave to jesus and stay in his hands, Jesus willcome down to you and live inside you ad long as you lay everything to him. Like if you do this , but one day you wake up and no longuer give everything to jesus, then It'll stop.

But if you always lend everything on Jesus, his spirit will live inside you and you will REALY be transformed. You will start feeling bad spirits inside persons, and would have the Source to drive them out; The source in you will command you to go talk to people about Jesus, and to pray for healings as they will all occurs by the source who is Jesus in you.

I dont wanna be an hypocrite, as i admit i havrnt gave my life all to him
( i once did it but left ) , but it is the truth of life.

Btw, there were a numerous of martyrs that died for jesus, such as Paul that webt himself to do God's will when he knew he would be crucified. Also James the less, etc

Well, ill
Pray for you.

Be blessed
