• 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

So I am having the hardest time with my OCD right now. I feel like its no longer my OCD and its now me thinking these thoughts. It's like almost my instinct reaction to have these thoughts and right after I have them I'm like no that's bad. Or sometimes I find my thoughts trail off in an evil direction and I have to block them but usually don't succeed. All I can think is I know I don't believe them but what if all this has went from strictly OCD but to me. It's just I don't want to quit fighting and I have never wanted to commit the unpardonable sin but what if I have deceived my self into thinking its OCD when I really am just that terrible of a person. My therapist disagrees but then again he is to in my head. I need some help

At think at one point or another we all felt like, "what if its not ocd" what if its just me? I know i have. And that was the bad part, i wasnt sure. Now i know that that too, is ocd doubt. Ive done lots of research on scrupulosity, and this is in the studies. One of the common symptoms is fear of commiting the unpardonable sin, we all have that alike. The 'unpardonable sin' isnt what you think it is: It's the sin unto death. Aka the sin that committed until death. And that sin is 'unbelief'. Jesus makes it plain and clear. Even when he spoke , he was talking to the Pharasees. Do you remember what their problem was? Unbelief. They were so set in their religious ways and swayed by the evil one , that they didnt believe in Jesus as Messiah. He had to use parables, like stories, to talk to them, because they couldnt understand. They were not Christian.

Unless somehow you can magically 'unbelieve' in Jesus forever (impossible since your saved) then dont worry about this sin. Its unpardonable because someone who doesnt believe will never get forgiven.

Again, dont worry about it. You are not an unbeliver. You are a child of God. When you have a bad day full of spikes get on your knees and cry out to God. He will answer you. Even if your sick and tired with unanswered prays. Eventually he came through for me and will soon for you. Never lose hope. I felt like giving up but i didnt. Pray and ill pray with you.
you just have no idea how much he adore you, His little one. Keep pushing. He NEVER EVER left you. Your still under His wings, hidden from trouble and on your way to deliverance.


God bless you.
