    Need to talk and vent WARNING MAYTRIGGER

    I know when I am struggling with OCD alot, I recluse into myself. I dont want to really talk to anyone. I know it's not good but it is the way I am. Have you been to a counselor at all? I know that there are Christian councelors that deal with OCD. THis might be a resource for you. Also, I pray...

    Found a good website about OCD.

    I find this lady facinating. I took the test and have Emailed her with many questions about the suppliments she reccomends. I havent purchased any but I'm thinking about it.

    Problems with my feelings

    Oh Sad! I know what u mean.Sometimes I can react so negatively to a thought that I have a nervous breakdown. Now this doesnt happen alot to that extreme but about 4 or 5 days after I got married, I freaked out and thought "is this it?" did i make the right choice and that was it! I had a...

    Well...

    I feel that way too sometimes. It can seem like an easy solution but it isn't the right solution. It's not! Trust me! Life IS worth living. Never make a rash decision when you are depressed etc. Any therapist will tell you that! You HAVE to talk to you psych. You HAVE to be completely honest...

    Weed and Jesus

    I don't know. I dont think it is any worse than alcohol and actually think alcohol is much worse but I dont think that having a beer here or there is necessarily wrong but I dont think that it can benefit you in any spiritual positive way. The way I have ever felt drunk or high, while it may...

    Weed and Jesus

    The problem with weed is that it is still illegal. If you purchase weed from a dealer you are supporting an illegal drug trade that so many people can be negatively affected by. Now if you grow your own, I guess that is a different story but I know people that are cronic smokers and it does...

    Need help discerning....

    I used to be TOTALLY stuck on emotional validation. I'm not as bad as I used to be. I think one thing that helped me was talking to my pastor when I was obsessing about my marriage and I thought maybe God was telling me to get a divorce. He told me not to be swayed by emotions and that God would...

    Free of OCD - my story

    Perhaps it is a form of neutralizing but since last nite I have been saying to myself "trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding." I had to tell myself this ALOT today since I spent most of the time today at work obsessing. Ugh! Anyway, it helps to remind myself that because it...

    Need your opinions please!

    THank you "amitrue" for the input. :) I appreciate your honesty. I do pray about it. I feel more calm at the moment but as you know w/OCD the anxiety comes and goes. I really relate to you w/the face slapping ilustration you gave. I think of it too like a really bad song that is stuck in your...

    Need your opinions please!

    I think that knowing that I'm not the only one who thinks crazy thoughts like this makes me not obsess so much. Although, w/the pedifilia obsession I wrote about a week or so ago, I feel like a freak for having the thought and of course because I'm obsessing about it, it makes it worse. I...

    Need your opinions please!

    I posted this in the "struggles w/ sexuality forum" but havent gotten much response. I know I posted a thread here about my sex obsession so I thought this might be a better place to get input. Because of what I put below is why I think I'm struggling w/ my current sex obsession. I dont...
