• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

I wanna end with Christianity.

I have to be honest. I have a enough of this. I really tired to be Christian. Since i begin a Christian i feel only Fear, anxiety, miserable not happiness or joy. Since when i became Christian i get nervous more than ever. Right now i don't see God as good father but only severe. I only afraid him not love him. I came on Tik Tok and some woman says "This is verse for women who don't have kids" but jesus said to them, "daughters of jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children! 29 behold, the days are coming when you will say, 'blessed are the barren wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.' 30 alternatively, to the mountains, 'fall on us!' and to the hills, 'cover us!' 31 for if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?" I'm don't want to be a mother . And i 'm afraid i'm going to the hell. I have enough of Christianity. First one i wanna end with christianity but other side no. I just broken inside. It all makes me crazy. I can't sleep normal i sleep only 2-3 hours not anymore.If you want you can pray for me but i don't if i became atheist.

This is not how it works. Becoming an atheist will not heal you. You will just become anxious of other things.

Treat your OCD and your anxiety. It is a health issue, not a religion issue.

This is not your first post, but you never write what you did or tried for getting better since the last time.

Hopefully, this verse provides some relief:

John 12:47
If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

As long as you love Jesus and accept his teachings even if you cannot practice His teachings for any reason, you're OK.

Please seek pastoral care and further guidance from your church ... You must be doing it tough ... Don't give up.

Your therapist and and your pastor will be better positioned than us here to accompany you on your journey to healing and dealing with past trauma and current challenges. But do you really think this is of no help at all? I don't expect you to share your medical file here, but what makes you think you're not able to make any progress? What actually do you feel and why do you think that is? Recognising you may have OCD already is may be halfway the battle.

Your English is fine by me - I'm also not a native English speaker, don't worry about that.

I know some Christian circles don't believe in the usefulness of mental health science or Psychology or even Psychiatry, but I believe these circles are mistaken. These fields have great value and can make a big difference.

God can heal, but when sick I advise people to visit a doctor also (apart from prayer). The same holds for mental health issues. One can have trauma from childhood, addictions, or just terrible events in life, one can have ADHD or can be Bi-polar (all diagnosed conditions) - the DSM is full of well-known mental conditions that may require some kind of treatment or management regime.

Some stuff can be dealt with, some may take a long time, other stuff may not be curable but only manageable - but use the means that God provided to get better. Prayer, a doctor, medication, a counsellor, your pastor. But get diagnosed first and then embark on the possible long journey to healing. Just don't give up because it seems difficult now.

Be blessed sister ... !

Some conditions can be spiritual indeed, others can be physical (hormonal imbalances, brain/blood chemistry, etc.), others can be purely mental .. e.g. burn-out, PTSD, etc. Just to give some examples ...

If that is what your church teaches, it might be a good idea to attend somewhere else. There are Christian therapist too.

What do you eat and drink? Including teas, coffee or supplements.

What about your blood work, hormone levels etc? I think your anxiety levels are serious enough to basically change your whole lifestyle if you want to get better. Just going to a therapy will not be enough.

First what that other poster does need to know is that God loves them but what you just said is ridiculous. Where do you EVER get that from the New Testament

First off have you ever believed in Jesus for God's free gift of Eternal Life. What is believing in Jesus, it is to believe Jesus is who He says He is. The Son of God/The promised Messiah, the resurrection and the life. If you do believe this about Jesus then you have believed in Jesus for Eternal Life.

Now this is not going to cure all your earth;y problems health, etc... that will be something you will have to do yourself. With prayer and seeking God's will for your life and help and guidance. You may come to find relief to problems you have, but that is something you will have to trust God for.

But for any feeling of going to hell, belief in Jesus should give you 100% assurance in God's promise that all who believe in Jesus will never be in danger of going to hell. No matter what is happening in your life, assurance of Etrnal Life is not about feelings, but about God's promise.

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
