• 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.

Sounds like what a lot of us deal with. Praying for you as you get your assessment. It is a bit of a relief as you find that things fit a true clinical picture. Early on when I learned I had ocd, I used to obsess over whether I really had ocd. Then I would continue to judge myself because ocd was "no excuse" for what I had thought and I was taking the "insanity plea" for the grievious sins I had committed in my mind. When I would start to feel better from the meds, I would worry that "there are no meds in hell" and this would start all over some day. Whoa, that brings back some memories. I had forgotten just how sick I was....and how God has really blessed me, even with what I now consider to be "bad" days.

Thanks be to God who heals. He heals spiritually with His presence and His Word, physically with science and medicine (which is God-given knowledge placed in human minds and hands), and emotionally with His people - Pastors, family, and friends (especially CF). Look around friends, GOD IS EVERYWHERE!
