• 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.

Greetings dear Saints , ^ " ... Just remember that God is so much greater than any of our problems, and nothing is impossible with Him. "" Praying for you. " And so am I .

Our Elohim / G_d has delivered me so many times from so much ... a verse from the Book of John fills my mind .
25Now there is much else that יהושע did. If every one of them were written down, I think that the world itself would not contain the written books. Amĕn.

Hallelu-YAH .

Sometimes I sit and think how could I think such crazy thoughts when God is so good. It makes no sense to think contrary to that. I just don't understand it at times. It feels like two different people. I guess that's why the word talks about the flesh waring against the spirit.

I am having a hard time today. I'm so depressed and afraid. I can't shake this feeling. I have gone through a lot of things that you went through and still going through it. I'm not sure why but it's a feeling that's hard to shake. I have cried out to the Lord. I've told him my thoughts and feelings. I just want to be normal again. I don't want him to hate me and I don't want to be mad at him. I have no reason to. But these thoughts are so centered around him, Jesus and the Holy Ghost. I hate this. I feel so abnormal. I can't help but look at other people and envy them for being normal and not fighting this battle. Please pray for me

Will pray with you, that God gives you rest. You are right about the flesh waring against the spirit. Jesus did tell us how we can over come this however He said "Pray that you enter not into temptation". Some times when we are going through this kind of stuff all we want to do is yell and shout. But the time we spend will eventually bring results. Jesus said as we privately pray, he will openly reward us. This reward is life and peace. The word says that those that "wait upon the lord will renew their strength". The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, as we sow to the spirit we will reap peace, if we forget to sow to the spirit we can end up stressed out.

Honestly, I was contemplating on taking my life because of this exact thing. I've always had ocd- almost any theme you could think of. But, this has to take the cake. I always leaned on God's reassurance through my ocd but when it morphed against God and my life I felt like noone would understand and I felt hopeless. All of your thoughts, doubts, questioning of your intentions, morals, and salvation are things I am experiencing and am so glad that I stumbled across your post before falling further and further into ocd. Thank you for sharing your testimony! God used you to help save my life!:)

Not so good, pretty bad actually. I haven't looked for any help yet so I am not sure. But I think it will be hard to find a Christian therapist.

Actually, I don't think it's necessary to have a Christian therapist for OCD. The key is to look for one who uses CBT (especially ERP) therapy. A good therapist will be able to work with your beliefs. They will help you challenge the OCD, while not forcing you to do anything that goes against your true conscience. If it helps, I think many therapists offer Skype/phone therapy. Dr. Phillipson, who is quite well-known, has a practice that offers treatment via phone and Skype: https://www.ocdonline.com/treatment. Also, Dr. Ian Osborn (who is also a Christian!) offers coaching via phone, Skype or Facetime: CONSULTATIONS WITH DR OSBORN – OCD & CHRISTIANITY
