• 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.

Hello. Aww thanks a lot. Nice to know people care. I am now on prozac. I find now I keep saying previous thoughts on purpose without caring then after I feel bad thinking I am going to get punished. Thing is I don't get why I say them on purpose for no reason. Only thing that gives me a bit of reassurance is that if I didn't have Ocd I surely wouldn't be saying these things on purpose.

Exactly.
I said this on another thread but it's true.
I actually took comfort in the fact my thoughts were obsessive because that showed me they were not normal thoughts/a normal thoughts process.
A normal thought is just something you think. It's not something you obsessively think over and over again and even feel like at times you are making yourself think it.
I have no idea why you are saying these things but it's clear to me that you don't mean what you are saying, are upset about saying them but keep saying them anyway - again, that's not a normal/natural thinking (or in your case speaking) pattern is it? So therefore it's your OCD. :)

I'm so glad you are on Prozac.
I really hope it helps you.

If it's working for you, even just for you, then, that is good, Chrissy. I am a bit wary of Prozac in particular, personally, but you'll know if it's helping you or not. You may just be one of the few lucky ones.

Let us know how you are progressing, okay?

I'm leery on Prozac myself. It's a very powerful drug and I wish the doctors would have put her on something lighter like Lexapro which helped with my OCD as well with my anxiety that the OCD was causing.

But if it works for her than that would be a good thing.

Hello,
Today I read that blasphemy of the holy spirit is if you believe god gave power to the devils instead of the holy spirit. So now I am thinking maybe God did give power the the devils if they exist and if the holy spirit is God how can there be a holy spirit when it is God. I have confused myself and now I believe I am really doomed. This must be blasphemy right? This can't be OCD still can it?

It's the OCD hun it can't be anything else because if you weren't concerned you wouldn't be here worrying about this and you wouldn't care but you do care about God so it's the OCD.

And you can't blasphemy the Holy Spirit. You would need to have Christ right in front of you and accusing him of using Satanic powers instead of the Holy Spirit.

He was warning the pharisees not to accuse him of being possessed by Lucifer and that his miracles were the result of the devil not the Holy Spirit. He warned them that if they did that they would commit the unforgivable sin of blaspheme the Holy Spirit.

So relax hun. It's the OCD not you. Trust me I know what it's like. In 2007 I had the worst religious OCD attack and I went on Lexapro which helped me deal with the OCD and the anxiety which was caused by my OCD.
