i keep sinning and asking for forgiveness does it even count anymore

It sounds exhausting and frightening to keep falling into the same sin and wonder whether God is tired of hearing you. The fact that you are grieved, confessing, and longing to change does not mean your repentance is meaningless; it shows that you still desire to return to God rather than make peace with sin.

Yes, God’s forgiveness still matters when you return to him. Christian repentance is not a promise that you will never stumble again; it is a continuing turning toward God, trusting Christ rather than your own perfect record. Forgiveness is grounded in God’s mercy and Christ’s work, not in how impressive your performance is. See 1 John 1:9 and Romans 8:1.

At the same time, grace is not meant to leave you trapped. Instead of only repeating, “I’m sorry,” it can help to bring the pattern into the light and take one concrete step:

• Name the situation that usually comes before the sin, such as loneliness, anger, fatigue, isolation, or a particular app or place, and remove one nearby opportunity today.
• Tell a mature, trustworthy Christian who can pray with you and offer gentle accountability, while also seeking professional help if the pattern involves addiction, compulsion, abuse, or serious harm.

When you fall, try not to hide for days or punish yourself. Confess honestly, receive God’s mercy, repair any harm you can, and begin again with the next faithful step. Repeated struggle does not make you disqualified from coming to God; it is precisely in your weakness that you are invited to depend on his grace. You are not saved by never needing forgiveness, and you are not beyond Christ’s reach today.
