Hello brothers and sisters,
I have not posted on TAW much since my Christening, and I am going to explain why and ask for advice, because I truly don't know where to go from here. As some of you might remember I posted awhile back that I work with a Gnostic. Now he and I have had many conversations and I have been pulled further and further into occult practice since my Christening, with the ink on my certificate barely dry. I don't know why once I was orthodox suddenly I stopped caring, maybe I was expecting too much from my first communion, maybe because I have mental disorders. However I have been on a constant downward spiral since.
What started out as a renewed interest in the occult grew into every other category of sin I am weak it. I started questioning everything I profess to believe, the existence of God as we believe, the historical foundation of the gospels, and trying to connect dots between different religions and cults.
I delved back hard into inappropriate content and have been struggling more and more with attraction towards men. Something I never in my life had until the last few years. I also have been struggling with my gender identity. I will have days where my brain constantly makes me consider whether I should be a woman or not, until I can get it focused on something else.
I've had sex with multiple women during this period, feeling sick afterwards. Most of this past month has been filled with uncontrollable suicidal thoughts which make me tired and weak.
I am so tired of living this life friends. I have been suffering mentally since I was a teen, and I don't see any sign of it stopping. Since I got kicked out of the military a few years ago for a suicide attempt its only been getting worse and worse.
The only way I am ever happy now is with a buzz, and I spend most of my time trying to forget I exist by distracting myself with videogames and inappropriate content. Sometimes the inappropriate content borders or crosses into the illegal as well.
I have thought of going to monasteries but have been obsessed all my life with finding the perfect relationship. I fear celibacy will hurt more than what I am going through now. I also have a debt that has kept me up to this point from going, but with tax returns this year I may be able to pay it off.
Give advice and please pray for me. I feel so lost and only want death at this point. However I refuse to take that option.
