• 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 Brothers and Sisters!

As all teenagers I have faced not the best thing in our world - mas***.
First, it was great I think there is no need of explantions...whay do you get in the end. Then I started to feel that my soul is being defiled. I was working on how only to get that moment of bliss... It was really long struggle. I was vowing that will never do it before,was failing, starting again, failing little success then fail again. I finally made 28 days of purity. But today (and last 2 weeks) I thought - I dont mas so it means I am the greatest here. I can be angry with ppl/ i can ignore them/i can hate and ruin...( Today coz of rage attack I have almost broken glass in elevator) I started to have alot of energy and... It was led on the path of rage/hatred/destruction. I thought I am better then you all! You are( mostly my uni mates) are fools. I became really boastful in my mind. My aspiration to victory turned into darkness in my heart.
My glance changed. I started to eat alot. I thought I dont mass cmon! I can eat what and how much I want. I can be angry with ppl! Oh you all cmon I dont mass Its already a great sacrifice. All these thoughts were abominating. Instead of leading this energy to help ppl try to please God more. I messed it up. I thought I have additional rights. I dont have many friends and thought that I dont need them at all. I will better stay with this my so called domination.
RIGHT NOW A MINUTE bEFORE TYPING I UNDERSTOOD! Yes, I do refrain, but all that energy shud be led to help others ppl. This energy turned to rage and closed my eyes! I must help others. Even with mas I dealed less damage then without it. I understood that I am SIMPLE. man. There are no perfect ppl. Ok I dealed with mas, now I must try to reach another point, in order try to be real christian. I was absorbed only in battle with mas. I thought dats the only way...I was mistaken.
YOu ALL HELPED ME ALOT! I understood my real way! I am so happy. Even when I didnt mas I didnt feel such harmony in my soul! Thank YOu all!
God Bless You!

I am glad you are getting free of this brother.
You are a 'real Christian' whatever you do, brother, when you fall just as much as when you have the victory.
God loves you, unconditionally. He wants the best for you, He rejoices with you in victory, and He picks you up and cleans you up when you fall.. but in both, you are just as much Hid child, and beloved.
