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 surely won't forget about you, and neither are our prayers (including yours) forgotten by God. It is GOD Who is not flawed and perfectly capable of remembering you and your struggles, although "we" are not. That is why we pray to "HIM". HE is our Source, our HELP in our times of troubles. Not "us".Praying to HIM< Who is a very PRESENT "Help" in our times of trouble. (((hug)))

I'm so glad to hear that you are having a good day! I pray for you often and feel Jesus' love for you always. Are you sure you were blocked from the OCD section? That seems odd to me.

i am feeling good today. but somehow, I feel cold. I have been away from Jesus these whole months. I have been watching my friends less regular. I want to believe in Jesus more but all these ocd and some questions about Christianity, always beat me down.

I think that prayer is always a good place to start. Prayer engages the heart, and to a certain extent, gives the brain a rest. It's good for our souls, too. Have you tried the Jesus Prayer, or the Our Father?

I cant calm down. yesterday, I was feeling cold and far away from Jesus. I prayed to His name but I did not feel the calmness I felt other times. I felt as I was still far away, even thought, I was asking Him to calm me down and protect me. There were some seconds, that I felt shivers strongly, as usual, but it was only for some seconds, I did not calm down. i am so confused about religions and belief that i can not focus on Jesus. all the atheists, the science, the questions i have about Jesus kill my faith. i think even if i say i will forget all others and focus on Jesus it seems i can't do it.

You sound overwhelmed, and confused, friend. What I have found is that focusing on a single word ("Jesus..." or "Father...") can help when the mind races.
We are not our disordered thoughts, friend. And our feelings don't get to decide what is real, and true. Jesus loves you. He is real, He was born of the Virgin Mary, He died for you, and He is raised up from the dead. He is real.
What has also helped me is simply staying away from content which is going to confuse or upset me. Articles, YouTube videos, stuff like that. Stick to what will help you stay emotionally and spiritually healthier.
