• 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

Hello there, the reason for this post is to find some reassurance and possibly some answers...
Well recently bout a month ago my whole sleep schedule has been thrown off. I get days I get GOOD sleep then there is days like yesterday where I just toss and turn with NO sleep. Reason for that is due to my OCD always kicking in especially at night. The day went pretty good imo but it is like im so used to having a bit of rough nights that if I don't start thinking I somehow I think force my self to have these thoughts. These thoughts scare the heck outta me like at times I start think bout demons then thoughts like "I am ok with being possesed" triggers my panic. But of course I don't mean it by heart jsut that the feelign that maybe a bit of me did mean it scares me. I don't know what to do keep ahvign good days and bad days...I have found peace in reading the bible but then I start to thin kthoguhts like "its jsut a coincedence". Im wondering if anyoen else is suffering like with this type of ocd that has to do with God. And what have you done to remedy this.

Hey,

I understand what you're going through as well. Lately I've been tossing and turning and I'll wake up with the thoughts and I just get so frustrated because it's like they spill in my head. But just know that God is beside you. Pray that He allow you to have a peaceful night and try to go back to bed. It's hard. Because I know you just want your sleep. But you're going to be alright. Keep reading the scripture and praying and praising. I'm praying!

John 14: 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
