• 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 can't seem to get this crazy idea out.

I keep thinking this crazy idea.

I can't get it out of my head. I keep thinking for some reason Satan is actually... good. I know it's insane and wrong. But I can't ditch the idea. I would rather die than think this. But no matter how hard I try, I can't ditch the idea. I know it's wrong and I proved it wrong many times. But it won't leave. Every time I remember how God has comforted me, my mind goes "nope that was secretly Satan, who is actually good". I'm sick of it.

it feels that the thoughts that annoy and effect me the most come back all the time, this is probably the same with you, you clearly hate having that thought but it will always pop back up, I keep on thinking that I hate god but I actually love god, it just keeps coming into my mind out of nowhere I wish it would stop

I'm having a similar problem. This little thought keeps popping into my head, telling me that I should tell my parents that I'm a non-believer (I hate the "a" word). It bothers me to no end because I know it's not true. It makes me freak out and I've been obsessing over it for days. I just tell myself that those little voices are trying to psyche me out which is more or less true. OCD is awful because it manages to pick at the things that scare us the most.

I find my OCD to be a bit too intelligent. It's scary. It's as if my OCD is Satan himself.

But other times, my OCD is as dumb as a rock. It's as if it's trying to convince me the sky is green and the grass is purple.
