• 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've been suffering from severe anxiety, ocd and depersonalization i got this obsessive thought now that i have to bless a lot of things before taking them, like i just started new SSRI medicine and i forgot to bless the first pill before taking it and now i feel like i've ruined the whole treatment for not doing so. Do you think God understands that it was just an honest mistake and that He understands my anxiety and ocd? Like i have these thoughts like "now the medication that you were supposed to be for a long time won't work because you didn't bless the first one" or "God is angry at me because i didn't thank Him and bless this medication before taking it" and so on. The uncertainty of it makes me nervous.

Of course God knows it was only bea mistake. God gave man the knowledge to make medicine in the first place so we can get better. He wants you to get better and wouldn't stop your meds from working out of spite or punishment. God is a loving father not a bully. :)

Yes i know, but my anxiety and ocd is just so bad.
Just thank Him when you DO remember. No condo, no bondo.
I blessed the medication after i swallowed it because i remembered like "oh, right". I will have to thank Him again too in case i forgot.

Lord bless Zamy and help him deal with the severe anxiety, ocd and depersonalization. Pray you bless and use this new medicine in a way that will really help Zamy. In Jesus name, Amen.

Thanks! I'm also just so mad at myself that God helped me get through my worst anxiety and depersonalization and then i forgot to thank Him for the medicine. I'm such an idiot.
