• 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.

i was feeling really depressed tonight, so i figured i would hop online and look at the christian forums.

i was shocked.

all the people on here who claim to be christians are basically looking at anyone who comes here for support and saying 'you're going to hell'.

this whole thing is in a place called RECOVERY. recovery is "a return to a normal condition". if you so-called christians were in the hospital and had just been torn open and then sewn back up, i don't think you'd want to get up and go on with your life. you'd need to rest and recuperate. you'd need support, not someone coming in and telling you it's hopeless, just get up ad walk out.

IT'S NOT THAT EASY!

for those of you who have never experienced homosexual feelings, i'm truly sorry for you, because you can never understand what others go through. a homosexual/bisexual person doesn't wake up in the morning and say 'i think i'll be gay today!'

i am bisexual. i have been since i was 12, but have only recently decided to come out. i go to a very close-minded school (much like some on this forum) and it's not easy. every day i hear all the nasty comments about how i'm a terrible person and i can just go rot. half of my friends are 'out', and the other half are straight. i just broke up with my girlfriend, only because she was one of those people who was still in the closet. and i am not ashamed of myself, and i wanted a relationship where i could be myself and didn't have to hide anything. right now, i am inexclusively dating a guy AND a girl :thumbsup:

i am sorry if this post offends someone. i don't care what you think of me though. if this forum is really about support, then why don't we maybe try that, hmmm?

and for anyone who knows me from the bipolar board, no, i have not been taking my meds. they cloud my mind and affect my grades, and i see no reason to have to do anything that messes me up like that.

.

Not true, if anyone said that to you it is a very isolated case. Fact is many of people have opened up about this issue and every one I have read they were flooded with promises of prayer and help from others who have delt with the same issue. Now the word of God is clear that this is sin, and Christians are people who believe the bible is the altimate TRUTH. If I beleve one thing and His word says another , then I am wrong. But the bible also tells us Jesus died to bring us both forgiveness for sin and deliveance from them. We are all sinners equally in need of His grace. We know this is a really tough issue for many. If you want prayer you certinly will be ofered that here. However you will not find justification here. God has given us His law to keep us rom harm. It is always what is best for us. To excuse your sin would be the most unloving thing we could do. I'll pray for you. Also go to this site www.settingcaptivesfree.com and look at the course "The Door of Hope"
