• 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.

God see's deeper than just being upset because your struggling with anxiety and doubt. He knows you don't mean it and I am guilty of blaming God for several things that went wrong in my life but He showed me love still after all that......Why don't you just do the flipside...Say okay I don't believe in Jesus but I will live as tho I do. Catch your OCD off guard because it doesn't know how to react to that. It worked for me.....My theme is I think I'm dead and at God's Judgment so instead of asking for assurance which only helps sometimes. I said ok I am dead and I am standing before God but I will live my life or what I think life is.....So I turned the tables on my OCD to where it defused it....Not all the way but some....Hope this helps.

Raven people who truly mean that to the Holy Spirit don't want to go to heaven at all. They truly don't want anything to do with God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit and wouldn't care one bit if they were going to heaven or not. I was going through a test from God, but didn't realize at the time what I was going through and I was being attacked spiritually as well and I wanted God to make it all stop. He was showing me that He was still there for me, but for me it wasn't enough He wasn't doing what I wanted Him to do which was make it all go away and to make me not feel the way I did. I know that seems very childish and it was, but at the time that I was going through it I didn't see it that way. I got angry at God because I felt He wasn't helping me in the way that I needed it. I got to the point where I said FU Jesus and told God that I didn't want anything to do with Him and didn't want to be a part of His family anymore and I literally felt my heart harden towards God. As I write this today it brings tears to my eyes that I did that, but even though I did that and I meant it at the time I said it God knew I was doing it out of anger and hurt. Even after that He has still shown me that He is here with me and tried for so many months to show me that all I had to do was repent and He would forgive me. The only problem was that I didn't think He would forgive me because I had basically slapped Him in the face. I wasn't some ignorant unbeliever who didn't know any better no I was a believer and knew exactly what I was doing! Even still God didn't stop trying to get my attention and didn't stop showing me that He was still there. Is my relationship with Him 100% back no because I still struggle with some things, but finally after 2 years of being away and not believing He would forgive I'm starting to finally come around to believe that He does forgive me for what I did. Sorry for such a lengthy post, but I really hope that this helped you. I know that I didn't say it straight to the HS that time, but I have also thought FU to the HS too because of my OCD, but I shared my story to show a time when it wasn't my OCD and me and how God forgives in hopes that it will help.

You can say and mean the worst things about God/Jesus/Holy Spirit that you can think of and it won't change anything. We say and think those things because we are sinners, and Christ died and rose for all our sins, so our sins will never get us into hell.

Thats what I believe.

Raven, God can handle your anger, and your obscenities. Moreso, He wants you to be truthful to Him. So why the swear words? Also, when Jeremy Camp (pop Christian singer), lost his wife to cancer just after getting married, at one point he literally threw his bible across the room because he was so mad... Just saying. God can handle. We might not, but He can.
