• 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.

Thank You everyone for the help.
I realize that this can be a very intense spiritual and physical battle. There havebeen many good points made and I continue to give Glory to God that His grace is sufficient for me.
The past few days have been good and they have also been tough. I have been rebuking the thoughts, renouncing them, taking them into captivity, praying and taking the meds. I know I am doing all I can to stand.
Please keep me in your prayers. A lot of times keeping busy and reading the forums and praying, has been what keeps me going and many tears have been shed in the past few days.
This scripture from Colossians 2:13 has kept me going
13When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature,[a] God made you[b] alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. 15And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.[c]

Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated..
With love ~Brandi

Having a difficult day today pray for my strength .
Am trying a new med that originally was great for the first two days and last night I could get no rest...
I kept turning over in my mind the fact that Christ died for my sins andthe plan of salvation and that there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

regarding what Michael said about logic ...Well we can't be logical because OCD and lets face it mental illness in general is hardly ever logical..Asking the question how can one be afraid of germs ...Well i can answer that but it won't be logical ..I have emetophobia and it has been an obession for me for over half of my life .. It is so bad that i hardly ever use my hands to eat anything for fear of getting germs into my stomach and causing me to get sick . i will eat a sandwich with a fork or spoon lol ..i know its funny but the fear is that i will contaminate myself ..Is their some logic to it ..well a kernel yes because technically no matter how much you wash youre hands the next surface you touch will likely be contaminated ..however i know that i go overboard with it ..can i help it ...no not really // is it logical that i can hardly eat nothing at all with my hands ...no it is not ...but it is what it is ..

we are not really in realm of logic when we are dealing with mentall illness ..
thats why its mental lol ...
