• 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.

Hi, I have struggled with OCD for the past 7 years and I can partially understand. I read online something that really helped understand my OCD better and I hope it helps you too.

When you have these thoughts of hurting others, especially your husband, it means the total opposite of you. You would never hurt anyone anyone like that and that's why this thought makes you sick. It's because you would never want these people to suffer. So next time when it comes to your head, say to yourself "I know I don't want to harm anyone. I'm suffering even thinking they could be hurt. Therefore, I won't hurt them."

I hope this helps a little bit.
