• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hey yall,

Haven't posted in a while,

Hoping you guys are having a great christmas season.

I have been dealing with my OCD through exposure and good thoughts.

I have shined the light on these bad thoughts for the utter bullcrap that they are.

Turns out.... I'M NOT A MONSTER!!!!!!

But..... I do fear sometimes that I have done a few things that have dissapointed God. I wasn't trying to be a monster, I was just confused about who I was and how I operate.

Can God find me at fault for that? I just want an absolute clean slate from all of my problems in the past trying to figure myself out.

I am baptized, so can God forgive give me that clean slate?

absolutely!!! look at Romans 8:1. Thats the verse that i cling to thats why i put it as my user name. If you've accepted Christ, He won't leave you and there is no condemnation! also look at 1 John 1:9

love you brother

God gives us a clean slate, which is Christ. By puting our faith in Christ, nothing else, God appoints Christs' righteousness on us. We are still sinners, and will still do horrible things, but our goodness is in Christ. And beleive me, i am def learning this myself
