• 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 even promised to post this! Sigh, I need help. Im taking medicine but its not helping much.I ask God for help over and over but i feel like he hates me. I prayed and now im on hold. I know He is a good God and will answer when i need it. It just hard because I said something to Him that I didnt mean and now I think He is angry at me. I hope He will forgive me. I keep having evil thoughts when ever I try to sing a worship song, like i want it to be to Jesus i sing to but i keep thinking something else(which im not going to post)I didnt mean it!! I hope God isnt mad!!! Its not me wanting to think this!! My thoughts say one thing and I get a pulling feeling that i should do another thing too. Like i think if i go on this site my so and so will die or something. Its sounds crazy to everyone but thats why im so depressed and I dont know what to say when people see me all sad and what not.
Ugg I start school again tomarrow and I feel very far from God. I can't stand being at school where I have looked like a nut running back to the class because I "forgot something" even though i know its because I had a thought that someone would get hurt if i didnt. or changing my seat every time I think'if i sit here this is going to happen. I just need someone to talk to right now. Im so sorry i keep coming back here i did get alot of good advice. I just need someone to tak to because my friends dont have ocd and im scared to tell them about this whole thing. Thelast time i did that i got the cold shoulder from them. My faily and friends probably think im a nut now:( i just want to cry in Gods arms but i feel like he is mad at me. I want Him to keep me.:runcry::runcry::runcry::destroyed:

God is not mad at you. He is proud of you, proud that you seek Him in darkness, even when it doesn't look good, for the just shall live by faith. stand on His word, not your feelings. don't stop prayin n praising, press, praying for you, =] and lets try to anticipate breakthroughs each day in Christ. speak it, walk it

ShelovesChrist is right. To keep seeking to follow God even when your OCD makes you afraid of Him is a true act of love and God will bless you for it.

Take it one day at a time and know that there are many of us who understand what you are going through, even if we don't have all the answers. One day you will laugh at how you used to keep going back to class 'forgetting' things. I've sometimes done some stuff that made me worry people would think I was weird too. Sometimes it's good to just have a sense of humour and see the funny side. Everyone is crazy when you get to know them!

Thank you both so much!:D I do feel better already. It sometimes feels like im boxed in but i know God can always reach in and pull me out of my misery. I was afraid that He was mad and wouldn't do it this time, but thank you for reminding me that He isnt mad. I feel so much better knowing He isnt angry with me at all, thank you so much!

bless you, I remember I used to think the same thing too. and that makes you feel uncomfortable going to Him. but we will press forward in Jesus name, for our God is with us, we are His children, children of His marvelous light. these thoughts used to make me feel disappointed in myself but i am finally coming to a point where i am beginning to love myself. and the Spirit of God is upon me. God never intended for us to be broken, He wants us to be whole. and He will show forth His strength in our weakness, He is our rock, our shield against destruction, His hand has kept this from overcoming us. We will not give up, but press forward in faith each day in Jesus name. =] im glad you're feeling better and i love when we're able to lift each other up. it feels good to know that somewhere out there i have brothers and sisters going throught the same thing, but overcoming each day in the name of the Lord. you guys alone just inspire me. thank you
