• 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.

Hi, I'm new here and I have been diagnosed with OCD and I keep having these thoughts about selling my soul or leaving the faith. I had one of the other day and it didnt bother me at first. I have been going thru therapy and working on not letting them bother me, but the next day I was terrified that I had meant it. The day after that I fell into depression and was terrified and almost convinced that I had meant the thought, and now I'm sooo scared that I am going to hell and have lost my salvation. I keep tryin to tell myself that if I had meant the thought then I would have made myself think it and I didnt it just popped into my brain. I just ask that u all pray for me because right now I keep having thoughts that there is no hope for me and it is very hard for me to pray cause I keep thinking that God isnt going to listen to me anymore.

Hello and welcome too the forums. Sorry to hear that you have ocd and I pray you will get better. I know what your going through and then some. I have had nothing but blasphemy thoughts and have said things out loud when I got mad after having them in my mind all the time. I have had everything known to man about Jesus with bad thoughts about bathroom things to evil things I will not even put on here. I asked to be saved two and a half years ago and my life has went down hill ever since. I got so mad with all the bad thougths just going through my mind and all and I told God that he can take everything and shove it and I could not take it anymore I am sad it did not even bother me that much cause I have been through so much the last couple of years I dont even know who I am anymore. Well cheers and whatever you do don't give up I am sure things will get better for you and hopefully Christ will make all the difference for you. John 3:16 For God so loved the world (and you) that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. You are his and he will not forsake you May God bless you and help you through your trials. My counselor told me to try to just trust God even though you don't want too. I have been through more then you could ever imagine and somehow I am still here. Some are much worse then us and are unable to work or anything. So please hang in there and keep trying. Try to learn more about ocd and it might help you out. Till then God bless you

Eric

You are not alone at all! I am just coming out of a huge struggle with these thoughts. I am undergoing treatment (meds and this forum, church, fellowship and prayer) and the thoughts are fading. What has helped so much is really beginning to understand that God's Grace is so much greater than our flawed minds, and Bible study with a healthy group of believers. Hang in there; you have my prayers. Marc
