oh man the thoughts are impossible today. It has been bad for a few days now. I mean everyday I have horrible thoughts, but it has been just relentless. Anyone else deal with this?
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.

If you want and only if you want would you feel o.k. sharing some of those
thoughts?
Thoughts are one issue.
Acting out on negative thoughts is quit another.
Probably we all have negative thoughts about a person(s), place or thing(s).
Not acting out on them is responsible.
Hey Justin! Yes...my thoughts are constant. I almost wish that my thoughts were blasphemous only. My thoughts have progressed to the point where they are about the devil and pop up/tailor themselves to almost every situation I'm in.
I was at the gas station and had a mild panic attack when I couldn't get the pump to work and I had a thought of "Why don't you ask satan for help? Dear satan help me" Terrified me. I also get thoughts about how I could want to worship the devil or that demons are fun and I want to be possessed. I try not to think of them and then I will go sometime without a thought and just as I realized that I am bombarded with thoughts.
People keep constantly saying that I shouldn't block them but I feel I have to. Because part of me fears so much that if I let them through that one day I really will just start praying to satan. It's terrifying and probably why they've gotten this bad.
There are many people who suffer the same malady all their lives. Medication such as Zoloft might help. I suggest that you mention it to your physician.oh man the thoughts are impossible today.

Tell people and they might tag you as crazy. Even so called professionals. How they attained their medical degrees with that narrow-minded hermetically-sealed mentality is beyond me. I mean, it doesn't take rocket scientist today to be informed about cerebral neural transmitter deficiencies which can cause OCD and to look up the appropriate medications to prescribe in a medical reference book. So if they sit there staring back at you confused and blinking- then something is definitely wrong with their qualifications to be there as health-care providers in the first place. Maybe they should be somewhere else herding sheep or milking goats instead.I don't generally share thoughts. It doesn't seem all that helpful anymore. One thing I do know though is that people who haven't gone through this stuff have literally zero chance of understanding. They will however come to their own conclusions about you. Their conclusions will probably be wrong and painful. They will leave you feeling alone and hopeless many times. I hope that there is some hope that comes soon because I could really use some.
