• 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.

I wanted to say to Gods about my intrusive thoughts. I wanted to stop praying every 30 seconds about them. (my intrusive thoughts are about asking punishments from Gods)

So, I am always like "no punishment-thought without my will" every 1 minute. sometimes, every 30 seconds.

in order to stop acting like a weirdo because this ruined my mental health, I decided to say to Gods that no matter what I say -accidental or not- never punish me.

But due to rush and anxiety, i made the mistake and skipped the word "never" so it sounded like " accidental or not- punish me"

I said to Gods at that second, that I made a mistake with my tongue and I did not mean it. But I feel trapped because my prayer was accidental, and what I said was "accidental or not, punish me"
so, no matter how much I pray to Gods that it was accidental, I still worry because my accidental prayer, already was "accidental or not" so, no matter how much I say it is accidental, I worry if it does not count because my accidental prayer was about accidental prayers. I do not know if I can explain it better. do you understand?

You're from Greece. You may have mental condition based on what you described or the devil is at works. I cannot tell what it is though, I'm sorry. Shouldn't be easier to find someone to take you Mount Athos? The monks can help you there.

God is not a robot and He does not answer your every prayer. He is wise beyond measure and a discerner of your heart and soul. If you prayed the wrong thing ask for His forgiveness and say you didn't mean that what you prayed. I have messed up many times, much worse than what you did, but I hope for his forgiveness because he knows my heart.

You've made like 5 threads so its obvious you are having somekind of mental breakdown. Please seek some help for your mental health issues.

I am sorry for what you are going through. First thing I noticed is you keep referring to gods. There is only one God, and he is a jealous God. He even say's we are to have no other gods before him. That doesn't just mean other so called deities, It is anything that we put before God. These are Idols.
In Leviticus God gave Moses the "Law", also known as the ten commandments. This is the standard that God will use to judge when we go before him. So if you have ever stolen anything, or lied, or looked at someone with lust in your heart ( God say's you are guilty of adultery) Now I have only cited three of the ten. but ANY violation of the law is deserving of death. If this concerns you ,then I have good news for you. Are you familiar with John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He sent his only begotten son. That whosever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting light. Jesus came here for one reason. Not to condemn the world, but to save it. He became the sacrificial lamb, our atoning sacrifice. In other words, Jesus took what was rightfully His, which was His righteousness, and exchanged it for what was rightfully ours, death. Jesus died on the cross for us. But he was resurrected three days later and is seated at the right hand of God. You can have a personal relationship with the one true God by asking Him for forgiveness and repenting of your sins. When you do this the Holy spirit will intercede for you and He knows the true intentions of your prayers, and will present them for you.
I would find a Bible teaching church in your area to start attending. You will be in my prayers.

So your brain is misfiring to pray to gods instead of God, correct? o_O I just want to make sure that is the case because I don't think people understand this is done totally involuntary. God's not going to judge a misfiring. He knows your heart.

The best thing you can do is ignore these intrusive thoughts.

Kostilaks, I notice that you're posting a lot again, after not posting for a while. Was your OCD better for a while?
