No you are not going to hell! Jesus said "all manner of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven among men except blasphemy against the Holy Ghost" which is a sin which cant be committed in this day and age as the circumstances don't exist any more.
Everyone of us have done terrible things and just look at what some of the Bible "greats" did. Moses was a murderer, David committed adultery and to cover it up he committed murder and so on and so on! You are to take the Lord at his word by simply confessing it and asking forgiveness and then move on and forget about it as you have his promise that if you confess your sin he will forgive your sin and cleans you from all unrighteousness. Don't dwell on it another minute as the Lord says you have no right to remember what the Lord has forgiven and forgotten as it is no longer in his mind or sight. Don't torture yourself needlessly as the Lord will forgive you as remember the old question; how many of your sins did Jesus pay for.....?? He paid for all of them past,present and future that's why in Christ you have endless forgiveness because whilst on the cross he took on himself the sin of the whole world. Go to the Lord in prayer right now and then walk on as though it had never happened because the Lord wipes your slate totally clean. May you have peace now and enjoy a right relationship with the Lord who has endless forgiveness for you.

No, you are not doomed. You made a terrible mistake of judgement and you have been paying for it ever since. God could not provide a worse punishment than what you're doing to yourself. Give yourself a break. God has certainly forgiven you, so who are you to presume not to forgive youself? You are obviously a good person, with good moral values. Move on and be a good example to the world.

God always gives you another chance
In Mathew 18:21-22 (New International Version), look at what Jesus says!

Do you think a God who's sent His Son saying that would'n't forgive you? No, you are not going to hell for this sin, if you've repented. From what you've said in your query, I'd think you've repented. Next time you're worried about God, read the Bible, His Word.
yeah, God bless you. and don't be so hard on yourself, think happy thoughts =0)

If you haven't accepted Jesus as your personal God and saviour then you are doomed. Ask for forgiveness, repent and try not to sin again. Remember God is a loving and forgiving God.

God can forgive everything - he forgives murderers and rapist on rather frequent occasion - so I'm sure you'll be just fine.
The important part is that you have decided you dont want to do that sort of thing in the future - thats great - thats what God wants from you - to leanr/know in your heart what is right/wrong.
I mean, how likely is it that an all powerful God would throw a human in hell for eternity for the mistakes they made in a life that is a speck long?

You people must really think that the Lord is up there
JUST WAITING for you to screw up. Guess what?
He knows you are made of DIRT, He made you!
He knew you had sex with that man while you were
having it. Were you sorry? Yes, Did you ask
forgiveness? Yes. Then forget about it cause the
Lord has. Your life is not ruined--Go on and find
somebody to love--Ask the Lord to help.

If you have asked Jesus to be your Lord and savior, then you are guaranteed to not go to hell. His sacrifice by dying on the cross paid the price for anything and everything you've done.
So if you have done that, have heart! You're safe! :-)
But know this: as God has forgiven you, you must learn to forgive yourself. You're only human, and humans make mistakes. You've been hard enough on yourself for four years, so it's time to let it go, and live in peace. :-)

You aren't going to hell.
The reason you've been living in a mental hell is not because you haven't been forgiven by God or anyone else, it's simply because you have not forgiven yourself.
Once you forgive yourself you will see, your mental hell will become mental bliss
