I have suffered with OCD since giving birth to my son. I can totally relate. The intrusive thoughts are not you and they are not worth any thought. But you physically need help to get to the point where you can easily ignore them. I would recommend you try taking inositol (12-18g per day) in...

Hi Raven, have you ever tried inositol? It's really helping me so far. Also taking magnesium and zinc has helped me too. Also L-Theanine is good for taking the anxiety down a notch. And it's all natural!

Yes, honey, I have some days that make me wonder if I will make it at all. But we have a loving God who carries us through the hardest of times. My best advice is to start taking magnesium, calcium and zinc and the powdered form of inositol (slowly moving up to 12 to 18 grams a day) and getting...

Sounds great! When do we start, and what passages of scripture should I read to prepare myself?

Also there is a great song by John Waller called "While I'm Waiting" that you guys oughta check out. It's like it was written just for us!

I needed that, thanks! I've been struggling and been very afraid I would give up, even though I don't want to. I need all the encouragement I can get, and this verse does that. Thanks again!

Hi Raven, if there is no God, there is no Hell. By believing in Hell you prove to me rather conclusively that you believe in God as well. Just remind yourself that your OCD masks your true self pretty well but not well enough to totally hide your true self from you. If you look you will find...

It's so much worse during certain times of the month, if you know what I mean. It becomes pretty manageable for a while and then that time hits and bam! it's like going back to feeling on the edge of total disaster. I too wonder if I need a different medication or a higher dosage of what I'm on...

Thanks guys. I do need help. I need somebody to tell me how to defeat this stupid disorder so that I can truly enjoy being with my son. I know the fears are stupid and not really me, but I'm afraid of embracing fears and BECOMING that person. Ugh! I hate all that! It's so repulsive to me but I...

Hello all, I have been dealing with OCD all my life but didn't know it was OCD until last year when it came out full-blown with the birth of my son. It has taken different forms but when it really came on strong was when it took the form of fears that I will do something inappropriate to my...

Beware of Nostradamus and the Mayans. They were into the occult. Not the kind of thing Christians need to listen to at all. But no, you're not going to hell for being simply afraid. Do you go to a very legalistic church that tends to find lots of reasons for condemning people to Hell? It seems...

Is this the way you WANT to be (enjoying bad things and all)? If not, then it is not you enjoying these bad things. It's the OCD.

Dear flower, if you need somewhere to stay please call on me. I live in middle Tennessee with my husband, son and in-laws and I know that they would be happy to help out a sister who is in need. Please don't give up. Also the job market in Nashville is better than in some other cities. Perhaps...

We've all been there, dear one. There is hope. Don't let it go; hold onto it no matter how dark the night is. God is with you.

How incredibly true, flower, how true!

Love ya', Raven! :)

You do want to be different. I seriously doubt you only want to change so you won't go to Hell (which you won't). I doubt it'd bother you so much if you didn't care about it.

That's one of OCD's lies: it says to us that we are some kind of weird sociopaths who like evil things. It's just not true. We feel cruddy when we even think that we might be enjoying something bad. Sociopaths don't feel that way.

Well, for one thing I've never heard a non-OCD person have worries about liking bad news. It's just us. I always wondered why I felt this sense of excitement when something bad happened or why I laughed when crying was appropriate. It's only recently that I've been reading the comments of other...
