• 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.

Hi everyone. I'm a new to the forum.
I am a sixteen male and I have been trying not to touch for some months. I have prayed and asked for forgiveness from God for many many times, but still, I can't help myself thinking over the stuff. I don't know what to do. Please, please if you can help, please give me your hands. Thank you.

I would highly recommend that you talk to a pastor or priest about this. Many people your age--- male and female--- struggle with this. I would also recommend doing some online research (or reading through other threads in this forum that deal with this issue) to help yourself learn ways to keep yourself from doing this.

May the Lord bless and help you always.

A lot of people of all ages struggle with it, brother.
The fact that you want to stop is a big step in the right direction.
Remember, God loves you, and forgives you.. every time. Keep giving it to Him...
And.. when you are tempted, if you can, go somewhere public. It's very hard to give in if you are in a shopping mall.. or in a room full of family members.
Praying for you, brother
