• 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

anyone else please help

My ocd does not let me enjoy life and tells me to do certain compulsions and tells me stuff like

OCd: you may have made a promise to God, to do this or not to do that.

It is so tiring and exchausted.

ocd then suggests me stuff like

ocd: do you worries if you do not do the compulsion? you cane make a new promise without your will to God that will be about not doing the tiring ocd compulsion. in that way, you wont have worries for not doing the ocd compulsion.

Automatically, some thoughts and words without my will happen in my head for a second that I know they are without my will but somehow they affect my worries, When thoughts without my will suggest about not doing the compulsion, even thought I know they are thoughts without my will, they relieve me and some more random thoughts without my will happen as an excuse to my ocd worries like

me: (thoughts without my will) maybe I must not do now the tiring compulsion because of the unwanted thoughts that happened. yay! I am freet o do what I want.

it happened again days ago, and I even predicted that ocd will suggest me to make without my will a fake promise just to relieve myself from the worries of not doing a certain compulsion. everything happened so fast. I think 1-2 seconds. very randomly and subconscioucly. I do not even remember the words or the thoughts that happened without my will.

ocd then gives me new worries like

ocd: did you just make a new promise not to obey the compulsion? what will happen if you do the compulsion?

me: nothing. doing or not doing the compulsion are just thoughts without my will. I never made a promise.

ocd: maybe you allowed the new thoughts without your will to happen in your head and pretented that it is ocd. maybe you were carefree and tried to make a promise to God in order to force yourself out of the compulsion. maybe they were thoughts with your will and you pretended they were not. maybe they were thoughts without your will but you allowed them for 1-2 second to happen. maybe they were thoughts without your will but since they relieved you from the worries, maybe that made them valid.

I do not know. it is not the first time this happens, many times I find myself in situation and worrying that what if I made a new valid promise just to stop the compulsions? what if it is so fast that I cant remember right? it is like automatic.

I have prayed to God and told Him that there will be times that my ocd will try to trap me and relieve me from thoughts without my will and compulsion and I may find myself worrying that I may have made a promise. I asked Him to protect me from those unwanted fake promises. but that time, I was so carefree. what ?

It IS exhausting. That's why it's very important to get help in overcoming your OCD. If you can't say "no" to the OCD on your own, please find a therapist who knows how to treat OCD. There is nothing wrong with getting professional help. Even an OCD therapist who is not a Christian can help you with religious OCD, because they can still respect your beliefs (if they're a good therapist) while helping you attack the root of the problem, which is the OCD. Please do all you can to learn about OCD and how to treat it, and to put those strategies into practice. OCD loves to confuse us and make us over-analyze, but things really are not as confusing and scary as the OCD makes them out to be.
